The bioavailability of potassium (K) from orally administered 10 per cent potassium chloride (KCI) solution has been compared with that from a slow-release KCl tablet (Slow-K) in 10 normal subiects under metabolic balance conditions. After a single 40 m Eq. KCl dose, urinary K increased sooner and to greater peak levels after the solution was administered. In both cases greater amounts of K appeared in the urine when administered in the fasting than in the postprandial state.
