Chemical compound

Potassium aspartate is a potassium salt of L-aspartic acid.

Medical application

Potassium aspartate is not approved for use as a chemical in its own right (but may be approved as a component in a product covered by a group standard) in the United States or European Union or New Zealand or Australia, for treating any medical condition, but is studied as an alternative to potassium chloride to treat high blood pressure (hypertension): potassium chloride reduces blood pressure, with a more pronounced effect in patients with hypertension—averaging a reduction of 8.2 mm Hg systolic and 4.5 mm Hg diastolic; yet, potassium aspartate may have a greater impact on lowering blood pressure at lower doses. While increasing intake of potassium-rich foods like bananas, grapefruit, dried beans, peas, broccoli, spinach, pumpkins, and squash is preferable, potassium aspartate is studied as a potential adjunctive treatment for hypertension.
