Potassium Citrate in Electrodose: What It Does and Why We Dose It Carefully
Electrodose contains 200mg of potassium citrate per scoop (400mg at two scoops) — the second major sweat electrolyte, in a bioavailable citrate form. Potassium works with sodium to regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction.
How Potassium Works With Sodium
Sodium and potassium operate as a pair: the sodium-potassium pump in every cell membrane drives nerve impulses and muscle contractions, including your heartbeat. Sweat takes both. Replacing sodium without potassium leaves half the system short — a common gap in bargain electrolyte mixes.
We use the citrate form because it absorbs gently and, like sodium citrate, mildly buffers exercise acid load.
Our Dose vs. The Research — and Why We Don’t Megadose It
200mg per scoop, 400mg at two scoops sits in the practical drink-mix range. Potassium is deliberately moderate: most people get the bulk of their potassium from food (the whole-diet target is several thousand milligrams), and per-serving oral potassium in supplements is appropriately capped for safety.
Electrodose is designed to complement dietary potassium, not replace it — meaningful support for the sodium-potassium pump without pretending a drink can substitute for bananas, potatoes, and greens.
Who It's For
Athletes pairing it with sodium for cramp prevention; low-carb and fasting dieters, who lose potassium early in a deficit; anyone whose training day outruns their food intake.
The Electrodose Difference
Potassium citrate is one of 15 disclosed ingredients working together — dual-source sodium for fluid balance, the tri-magnesium complex for muscle and nerve function, and the cognitive stack for focus. See every dose on the formula page.
Common Questions
Why not more potassium? Per-serving oral potassium is intentionally moderate across the supplement industry; food is the primary source, and megadosing potassium in a drink isn't safer or better.
Does potassium prevent cramps? Sodium, potassium, and magnesium together help — potassium alone isn't a cure. If cramps persist with good hydration and sleep, get bloodwork.
