The potassium in Juice Plus+ Capsules comes from the capsule shell itself. The potassium is used as an "activator" to get the shell structure to align and gel in a particular way which makes it so protective of the powders or oils inside.
We include a Potassium warning on our capsules label as required by law. You may have seen the following warning on our capsules bottles:
"Always read the label and take only as directed. Contains 6 mg - 15 mg of potassium per capsule. If you have kidney disease or are taking heart or blood pressure medicines, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use."
Our capsules contain the following amounts of Potassium:
- Fruit Blend contains 6 mg potassium per capsule (12 mg per adult daily serving size)
- Vegetable Blend contains 15 mg potassium per capsule (30 mg per adult daily serving size)
- Berry Blend contains 7.5 mg potassium per capsule (15 mg per adult daily serving size)
- Omega Blend contains 1.23 mg per capsule (2.46 mg per adult daily serving size)
This totals to 57 mg Potassium each day which is well below the RDI of 3,500–4,700 mg per day.
As always, if you have any concerns around Potassium, we recommend consulting with your healthcare professional.
