What is the difference between Potassium Bicarbonate, Chloride and Gluconate (in re: to taking as a supplement)?
They vary in the way they are consumed. Potassium bicarbonate (baking potash) is used as a replacement for baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in the preparation of baked goods for people who are on a sodium restricted diet. Potassium chloride has the same salty taste as table salt (sodium chloride), and is sold commercially as a flavoring substitute for the latter. Potassium gluconate is sold in pill form as a supplement.
