I use this to spray my oak trees to eliminate moss without killing the trees. Very effective and non toxic

I am mixing this, 1 1/2 TBSP per gallon of water (and a couple drops of dish soap) and spraying on my zucchini, pumpkin and other squash foliage to combat powdery mildew. It’s been a terrible year for powdery mildew here in the Pacific Northwest – even the dandelions are affected. Can’t say I’m sorry about that.
So far the potassium bicarbonate does seem to make a difference and has stopped the disease from progressing. I tried neem oil previously but never saw any improvement with that. It’s nice to have an organic alternative to chemically laden fungicides.

I took a diuretic high blood pressure medicine for years and struggled to keep my potassium levels anywhere close to acceptable. I drank coconut water, ate beans, avocados, and bananas until I could barely stand the sight of any food with a high potassium level. The “K” tabs they prescribed to replace the lost potassium just tore up my stomach even though I took them with food and water. The final straw was when they tested my blood and called to say I needed to go to Urgent Care at 11 pm so they could administer an IV potassium drip. I found this product on Amazon while searching for another form of potassium. While not manufactured and sold as a supplement, there were reviews from folks using it to bump up their potassium levels. It has been great. I’ve learned I do better taking a pinch dissolved in about an inch of water 3 or 4 times a day than taking a larger dose once a day. There is something about it being suspended in the water and the lower doses that save me the stomach upset. I hope all the years of having low levels of potassium have not damaged my heart. The more I read, it seems that the low levels of key minerals caused by the blood pressure meds could be as damaging as slightly elevated blood pressure. I do make it a point to have my levels checked at least once every year as too high of a level is as bad as too low. I can tell when I’ve been slacking off because I experience muscle fatigue in my legs when my levels are low.
PS I do have to say that mixed with water, this tastes like stale Alka Seltzer, but it gets the job done.

My wife uses this in place of baking soda because she needs to drastically restrict her sodium intake and boost her potassium. This works well as a substitute (she also adds cream of tartar to make baking powder when she needs it). Quality and price are good so we’re very happy with it.

I have acid reflux and type 1 diabetes. I use this product by adding it in small amounts to any acidic drinks or soups I consume. Because of the diabetes, I am on low dose Lisinopril, even though I blood pressure values are only classified as borderline without it (120’s over 70’s). I only recently contracted the acid reflux problem, so I first started controlling that by adding small amounts of baking soda to neutralize acidic substances, but quickly realized that I was probably creating too much of an imbalance of sodium over potassium. For that reason, I chose to make a switch to a non-sodium antacid.
What either sodium or potassium bicarbonate does to an acidic food or drink is essentially the baking soda and vinegar reaction, except that citric or phosphoric acid present in soups and drinks are triprotic. I only add enough to accomplish roughly 1/3 of full neutralization, which means that adding 1.2 grams of KHCO3 to a 2 L coke will convert the H3PO4 to KH2PO4, thereby raising the pH to the point where it is no longer phosphate controlled, but carbonate-controlled at roughly 4.0 instead of the low 2’s. In sodas, the carbonic acid is about 20 times more abundant than phosphoric acid, but is far weaker, so it alone can only push the pH down to roughly 4.0. I wasn’t able to do such detailed number crunching for other types of drinks or soups, but I at least know the approximate amounts I should be adding are a fraction of a percent.
I would estimate that I consume no more than 2 grams of KHCO3 per day, which is a small fraction of the RDA for potassium because the amount I add to anything is limited by taste. If too much is added, it ruins it. I believe this approach is actually safer than swallowing pills because I am relying on the taste buds which are there to provide some measure of protection against poisoning.
I have noticed that my blood pressures are much better when using this on a regular basis, even when I don’t take the Lisinopril. However, the benefits are much more short-lived.
