Core Level Potassium
Nutri-West
Overview
The effectiveness of 'Core Level Potassium' is significantly hampered by the low doses of key vitamins and minerals, which fall far below clinically effective levels. The inclusion of a proprietary blend, with 18 different ingredients undisclosed in their individual amounts, makes it impossible to assess the efficacy of these components. While some ingredients in the proprietary blend like Rutin, Psyllium, or Licorice have potential benefits, their effective dosages are likely not met within a 180mg total blend containing so many compounds. The primary ingredient, 95mg of Potassium, is only 2% of the daily value for adults, rendering it largely ineffective for addressing anything more than minor, transient fluctuations, and not substantial contributions to daily needs.
The Good
Includes a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and other compounds for broad-spectrum nutritional exposure.
Contains some essential micronutrients that are important for general health (Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamins D3, E, B6).
Features ingredients like Rutin and Psyllium, which have some established benefits in higher doses.
The Bad
Potassium dosage (95mg) is significantly below effective or recommended daily intake (AI for adults is 2600-3400mg), making it largely ineffective.
Other vitamins and minerals are also at very low, likely sub-therapeutic doses.
Extensive proprietary blend (180mg total for 18 ingredients) makes it impossible to determine individual ingredient dosages, raising questions about efficacy.
