Active Ingredients (per 1 Veg Capsule):
Potassium (from Potassium Citrate) 99mg
- What is Potassium Citrate?
- Potassium is an essential mineral that is widely distributed among food sources, with especially high levels present in fruits and vegetables.
- Potassium is critical for the maintenance of normal whole-body and cellular fluid levels, as well as for the maintenance of acid-base balance.
- It is also necessary for proper muscle contraction, the maintenance of healthy heart function, and for the transmission of nerve impulses.
- Potassium citrate is a well absorbed and highly bioavailable form of potassium.
- Features & Benefits:
- Supports Electrolyte Balance and Normal pH
- Proper Muscular Contraction
- Support:
- Potassium is an important electrolyte mineral, or a mineral that helps conduct electrical impulses in the body.
- Its primary function is to regulate the balance of water and minerals throughout the body.
- It’s required for normal muscle and nerve function and helps to regulate blood pressure in conjunction with the mineral nutrient sodium.
- In fact, potassium and sodium are a kind of nutrient yin and yang. They need to be in harmonious balance for good health.
- Even relatively small imbalances, when experienced over time, can have a major impact on cardiovascular, bone, and neuromuscular health.
- With the prevalence of sodium in Western diets, obtaining adequate levels of potassium from the diet becomes even more important.
- Potassium is found in most foods in varying amounts, with green, leafy vegetables being the best natural source.
- With a healthy diet most of us get adequate levels of potassium since it’s so prevalent in foods, but if your diet doesn’t include a lot of vegetables and/or fruit then you may only be getting the bare minimum of potassium needed for overall health and well-being.
- Potassium is primarily indicated for cardiovascular and kidney health due to its role in the maintenance of normal blood pressure, a key factor in the health and normal function of both the heart and kidneys.
- As mentioned above, it’s critically important for a healthy water/mineral balance and normal muscle and nerve function.
