Kali Phos
No. 6 · Potassium phosphate
Discover Kali Phos No. 6, also known as potassium phosphate or Kali phosphoricum, with traditional context, ingredient comparisons and clear label guidance.
What is Kali Phos?
Kali Phos is the abbreviated name for potassium phosphate in the Schüssler tissue salt tradition. It is No. 6 in our range, and the longer name Kali phosphoricum also appears in traditional reference material.
Among the twelve salts, it is particularly familiar for its historical association with nervous-system wellbeing. This guide explains that background, the names you may encounter and the practical details to check before choosing a preparation.

- Number in our rangeNo. 6
The traditional nerve nutrient
Traditional tissue salt literature often describes Kali Phos as the “nerve nutrient”. Discussions of this salt commonly centre on nervous-system wellbeing, mental demands and periods of tiredness. This explains the language found in older reference books and some product names.
Those descriptions belong to the traditional framework. They do not establish that a tissue salt tablet repairs nerves, improves concentration or treats anxiety or sleep problems. The traditional name also does not tell you the nutritional amount of potassium in a finished tablet.
When exploring the system, keep the ingredient identity, historical associations and product directions separate. This makes it easier to understand the tradition without reading a familiar heading as a personal treatment recommendation.
Kali Phos and similarly named salts
Two parts of the name help distinguish Kali Phos from other preparations. “Kali” appears in the potassium salts, while “Phos” appears in several phosphate names. Reading the full name prevents these separate ingredients being confused.
- Kali Phos: potassium phosphate.
- Kali Mur: potassium chloride.
- Kali Sulph: potassium sulphate.
- Mag Phos: magnesium phosphate.
- Calc Phos: calcium phosphate.
The shared words help explain the naming pattern, but do not make the products interchangeable. Each preparation has its own identity, and each finished pack needs to be checked individually. This comparison is a reading aid, rather than a recommendation to combine the salts.
Reading a Kali Phos label
The salt number, preparation strength and pack size answer different questions. No. 6 identifies Kali Phos in this range. A potency or dilution notation describes the preparation, and a tablet count tells you how many tablets are supplied.
No. 6 does not mean six tablets. A potency notation is not a nutritional potassium amount in milligrams, and the name “nerve nutrient” should not be read as a statement that the tablets supply a dietary requirement.
The current individual product description does not specify its dilution or complete tablet base. Check the actual packaging, or ask us to confirm those details before ordering. An ingredient list from another brand, market or format may not apply to the pack you are choosing.

View Kali Phos tablets and product details →Choosing, using and storing your tablets
Read the full ingredient list, including the tablet base and any allergen information. If you avoid lactose, dairy or another ingredient, check the finished product rather than relying on the mineral name alone.
Follow the amount, frequency and method on the pack, including any age guidance. Check individual suitability with an appropriate practitioner during pregnancy or breastfeeding, when taking medication or when choosing for a child. Persistent tiredness, sleep difficulties or distress deserve individual attention rather than a product choice based only on a traditional title.
Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Store out of reach of children and retain the packaging so that the directions and batch details remain available.
