Country Life - Potassium 99 mg. - 250 Tablets
Summary
This potassium supplement contains a simple formulation with minimal additives, which is generally positive for ingredient quality. However, it includes several non-active ingredients such as cellulose, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate, which are common in tablet formulations but contribute to a moderate level of processing. The absence of harmful artificial additives or sweeteners is a positive aspect, but the presence of multiple non-active ingredients slightly impacts the overall score.
