What does it do?

Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate is an inorganic salt containing potassium and phosphate ions, primarily used in pharmaceuticals to maintain electrolyte balance in the body and participate in metabolic processes. This ingredient is included in gastrointestinal and metabolic-related medications as well as blood-regulating drugs to support bodily functions.

Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate provides potassium and phosphate ions to balance electrolytes inside and outside of cells, contributing to energy metabolism and the maintenance of acid-base balance. This helps ensure that bodily functions operate smoothly.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike simple potassium supplements, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate also supplies phosphate ions, which are involved more directly in metabolic processes. As a result, it plays an important role not only in electrolyte balance but also in the regulation of acid-base status in the body.
