Description Potassium gluconate is a salt of [DB01345] and is classified as a food additive by the FDA [L2654]. It is also used as a potassium supplement [L2657]. 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 [A32222]. 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 [L2652]. Potassium gluconate is believed to be more palatable and non-acidifying than potassium chloride (KCl) [L2658].
