Potassium Chloride

Potassium chloride (KCl) is an essential electrolyte salt, used medically to treat low potassium (hypokalemia) and widely as a key potassium fertilizer (muriate of potash) in agriculture, derived from natural deposits and appearing as white crystals with a salt-like taste. It functions to restore blood potassium levels and supports vital functions like heartbeats but must be used cautiously due to risks of high potassium (hyperkalemia) from kidney issues or certain medications
