Potassium citrate - Io Genix

With its Potassium Citrate , Io Genix offers a health food supplement formulated from concentrated potassium.

Potassium is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal that plays a major role in the body to contribute to normal muscle function . In food, it is present in bananas, oranges, spinach, potatoes, avocados and fish such as salmon. It is a dietary supplement that is particularly aimed at endurance athletes who need a special mineral intake.

The manufacture of Io Genix Potassium Citrate involves the neutralization of purified citric acid, obtained by fermentation of sugar sources, with potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate. This reaction, controlled to maintain an optimal pH, produces potassium citrate and water or carbon dioxide. The resulting solution is filtered to remove impurities, then concentrated and cooled to allow the potassium citrate to crystallize. The crystals are separated by filtration or centrifugation, dried to remove residual moisture, and then ground into a fine powder. This powder is then packaged in capsule form. Each batch undergoes rigorous chemical analysis to ensure its purity and compliance with the safety and quality standards set by food regulatory agencies.
