OriginPotassium bicarbonate is produced from potassium carbonate, a mineral-derived compound in the alkali metal family. It is synthesized by carbonating potassium carbonate solutions with carbon dioxide gas under controlled conditions.
Potassium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline, slightly alkaline and salty substance. It is produced by the passage of carbon dioxide through an aqueous potassium carbonate solution. It is used in medicine as an antacid. It is registered in the FDA under the section of suitable, safe and effective ingredients for OTC antacids. This FDA denomination classifies potassium bicarbonate as a GRAS ingredient.
