Can potassium benzoate increase your potassium level in your body?

Potassium benzoate is a potassium salt of benzoic acid, and while it contains potassium, it is typically used as a preservative in food rather than a dietary supplement. Its contribution to overall potassium levels in the body is minimal and unlikely to significantly affect potassium status. For individuals with normal kidney function, the body regulates potassium levels effectively, so consuming potassium benzoate in typical dietary amounts is not expected to increase potassium levels significantly. However, those with specific health conditions should consult a healthcare professional regarding potassium intake.
