Potassium Citrate Capsules vs Tablets: How to Compare

By the Zespo team · Updated 26 October 2026

Potassium citrate is sold in more than one format. To compare them fairly, look past the headline number. Read what potassium citrate is.

Capsules

Capsules hold powder inside a shell and are often smaller doses per unit, so a serving may be one or more capsules.

Tablets

Tablets are compressed powder and can hold a larger amount per unit. They may be scored so they can be split.

How to compare

1. Find the amount of potassium citrate per serving, not per unit.
2. Check whether elemental potassium is also stated.
3. Compare servings per pack and price per serving.

Zespo offers potassium citrate as 800 mg capsules and as 2,280 mg tablets.

Potassium supplements are not suitable for everyone, especially people with kidney conditions or those taking certain medicines. Speak to a doctor before use.

What to check before you buy

• The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
• How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
• Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
• An FSSAI licence number and the veg/non-veg mark on the pack
