Quality product
I have acid reflux and type 1 diabetes. I use this product by adding it in small amounts to any acidic drinks or soups I consume. Because of the diabetes, I am on low dose Lisinopril, even though I blood pressure values are only classified as borderline without it (120’s over 70’s). I only recently contracted the acid reflux problem, so I first started controlling that by adding small amounts of baking soda to neutralize acidic substances, but quickly realized that I was probably creating too much of an imbalance of sodium over potassium. For that reason, I chose to make a switch to a non-sodium antacid.What either sodium or potassium bicarbonate does to an acidic food or drink is essentially the baking soda and vinegar reaction, except that citric or phosphoric acid present in soups and drinks are triprotic. I only add enough to accomplish roughly 1/3 of full neutralization, which means that adding 1.2 grams of KHCO3 to a 2 L coke will convert the H3PO4 to KH2PO4, thereby raising the pH to the point where it is no longer phosphate controlled, but carbonate-controlled at roughly 4.0 instead of the low 2’s. In sodas, the carbonic acid is about 20 times more abundant than phosphoric acid, but is far weaker, so it alone can only push the pH down to roughly 4.0. I wasn’t able to do such detailed number crunching for other types of drinks or soups, but I at least know the approximate amounts I should be adding are a fraction of a percent.I would estimate that I consume no more than 2 grams of KHCO3 per day, which is a small fraction of the RDA for potassium because the amount I add to anything is limited by taste. If too much is added, it ruins it. I believe this approach is actually safer than swallowing pills because I am relying on the taste buds which are there to provide some measure of protection against poisoning.I have noticed that my blood pressures are much better when using this on a regular basis, even when I don’t take the Lisinopril. However, the benefits are much more short-lived.

Blood Pressure Gone Down. Great Detoxifier!
I read quite a few of the 4-star reviews. You people seem to have no problem with the product yet you rate this product 4-stars. Are you OK?I have found this product to be AWESOME!!! My blood pressure is already going down after a few days of use. I’ll post the numbers in a couple of weeks or so. As soon as I take it I can FEEL it going through my system…relaxing my mind, muscles and bronchial tubes. My breathing becomes a LOT easier. Getting my body pH UP also has the added benefit of getting my body in a state where it can DETOX effectively and I get a mild headache and tired when I take almost a 1/2 tsp of it at once. That actually gives me comfort knowing that the stuff works, otherwise I wouldn’t be detoxing so well. Before taking this product I could FEEL the heartbeat in my hands, arms and chest PUSHING through my veins the pressure was so great. I can barely feel it now. I don’t feel like I’m a candidate for the Hearse anymore any time soon.I LOVE this product. All it takes is a LITTLE BIT to raise my alkalinity. If I take a 1/4tsp I’m ok….my pH goes from a 6 to 7, but if I take 1/2tsp then my pH goes from 6 to 8 which is where I want it, but at that level my body is in a PRIME state for some major detoxing and I get a headache. Its not a bad headache and not painful, it’s just….there. If I jump into my sauna I sweat out all the toxins and I’m fine. So the amount I take depends on whether or not I feel like jumping into my sauna for an hour. I am able to take 1/2tsp if I’m about to eat a toxic, highly acidic yummy American meal then the extreme acidity in my Western meal will counteract that extra 1/4tsp potassium bicarbonate that I took and balance itself out to where my pH stays at about a 7.5.Another reviewer said…”I like the product, but don’t “love it” (howdoes one ‘love’ a ph-adjustment and potassium supplement?”Well, I LOVE it! I needed a bicarbonate to increase my pH because the sodium bicarbonate I was taking was giving me too much sodium and my blood pressure was 160/111. Figured I’d switch to potassium bicarbonate now I’m down to 140/94.THIS product has performed WONDERS for me so yeah I love it. Be EASY with this stuff, it’s potent.

Alternative to “K” tabs
I took a diuretic high blood pressure medicine for years and struggled to keep my potassium levels anywhere close to acceptable. I drank coconut water, ate beans, avocados, and bananas until I could barely stand the sight of any food with a high potassium level. The “K” tabs they prescribed to replace the lost potassium just tore up my stomach even though I took them with food and water. The final straw was when they tested my blood and called to say I needed to go to Urgent Care at 11 pm so they could administer an IV potassium drip. I found this product on Amazon while searching for another form of potassium. While not manufactured and sold as a supplement, there were reviews from folks using it to bump up their potassium levels. It has been great. I’ve learned I do better taking a pinch dissolved in about an inch of water 3 or 4 times a day than taking a larger dose once a day. There is something about it being suspended in the water and the lower doses that save me the stomach upset. I hope all the years of having low levels of potassium have not damaged my heart. The more I read, it seems that the low levels of key minerals caused by the blood pressure meds could be as damaging as slightly elevated blood pressure. I do make it a point to have my levels checked at least once every year as too high of a level is as bad as too low. I can tell when I’ve been slacking off because I experience muscle fatigue in my legs when my levels are low.PS I do have to say that mixed with water, this tastes like stale Alka Seltzer, but it gets the job done.

Does what we need at a good price
My wife uses this in place of baking soda because she needs to drastically restrict her sodium intake and boost her potassium. This works well as a substitute (she also adds cream of tartar to make baking powder when she needs it). Quality and price are good so we’re very happy with it.

Too Little for the Cost
A little on the spendy side for no more than the bag contains
Orange alert –
Works okay
As expected

Great for mead brewing
I’m a mead brewer, this stabilizes correctly before and during fermentation, only needed about 20 grams for 400 liters with a pretty acid honey, so is pretty efective, followed the recommendations on the bag and had no issues.
