Consumer Advice
Dipotassium inosinate is the potassium salt of inosinic acid, used as a flavour enhancer with MSG to boost umami, and it is sodium-free, suiting reduced-sodium foods. It breaks down into inosinic acid and potassium, both normal bodily components, and is safe within approved limits. People with gout or high uric acid should watch purine intake, and those with kidney problems or potassium restrictions should note its potassium.
