Potassium chloride (KCl) is a mineral salt with a wide range of uses
Salt substitute: It provides a salty flavor similar to sodium chloride but with lower sodium content, which is beneficial for individuals on low-sodium diets.
Flavor enhancer: It helps to maintain or improve the palatability of low-sodium foods.
Food additive: It is used in various processed foods to help reduce sodium levels without compromising taste.
Electrolyte replacement: It is crucial for treating hypokalemia (low potassium levels) and correcting electrolyte imbalances.
Intravenous (IV) fluids: It is a common component of IV solutions used to provide essential electrolytes to the body.
Oral supplements and medications: It is formulated into oral tablets, capsules, and powders to supplement potassium intake.
Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS): It is an essential component of solutions used to treat dehydration and restore electrolyte balance.
Nutritional support: It is included in both parenteral (IV) and enteral (tube feeding) nutrition to provide essential nutrients.
