Class

Small Molecule

Description

Potassium gluconate is a salt of and is classified as a food additive by the FDA . It is also used as a potassium supplement . Potassium is an essential nutrient. It is the most abundant cation in the intracellular fluid, where it plays a key role in maintaining cell function . In dietary supplements, potassium is often present as potassium chloride, but many other forms—including potassium citrate, phosphate, aspartate, bicarbonate, and **gluconate**—are also used . Potassium gluconate is believed to be more palatable and non-acidifying than potassium chloride (KCl) .
