Potassium is a mineral component, the right amount of which is necessary for the proper functioning of the body. It occurs in all its tissues [1] and is responsible for a number of processes taking place in the organs. It affects, among others, proper muscle function, supports maintenance of normal blood pressure and also supports the functioning of the nervous system contributing to the improvement of memory and concentration. Consuming more potassium has been shown to reduce muscle mass loss in men [2]. It has also been shown that supplementation of this mineral in people with hypertension contributes to lowering blood pressure [3] and is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke [1]. It is also assumed that the appropriate level of potassium can positively affect bone condition, increasing their mineral density and reducing urinary calcium excretion [1].
Potassium should be supplied with the diet. It can be found in many foods, both plant and meat. The main sources of this mineral are fruits and vegetables – e.g. potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, bananas, apples and dried apricots and plums. It can also be easily supplemented by eating beans or legumes (e.g. beans and lentils), dairy products (e.g. yoghurt), fish, meat and nuts. Consumed potassium is absorbed mainly in the small intestine in about 90%, which makes it relatively easy to maintain its proper concentration in cells [1].
Hypokalaemia, or potassium deficiency, can cause a number of distressing symptoms e.g.: constipation, fatigue, muscle weakness and general malaise. In a more advanced stage, breathing difficulties, polyuria and cardiac arrhythmias may occur [1, 4].
In maintaining the unwavering balance of the body, supplements (which are valuable support, e.g. when using an elimination diet) often prove to be helpful, thanks to which you can avoid the undesirable symptoms associated with a deficiency of potassium.
Our supplement has a highly absorbable organic form of potassium citrate. The product is safe to use. It has a clean label, which means that it does not contain unnecessary additives – it will be especially appreciated by people with a sensitive digestive system and with allergies or food intolerances.
