Additional Information

What is potassium?
Potassium is an important electrolyte mineral, or a mineral that helps conduct electrical impulses in the body. Its primary function is to support the balance of water and minerals throughout the body. It's required for normal muscle and nerve function and supports blood pressure already within a normal range, in conjunction with the mineral nutrient sodium.
Potassium and sodium need to be in balance for good health. Even relatively small imbalances, when experienced over time, can affect 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 wellbeing.

What are potassium's benefits?
Potassium plays a role in cardiovascular and kidney health through its support of normal blood pressure already within a healthy range, and is important for a healthy water/mineral balance and normal muscle and nerve function.
