Amino Acid Chelate * 99 mg Potassium is essential for nerve function, muscle strength, glycogen formation, and the regulation of heart action and blood pressure. The typical American high-sodium diet tends to deplete potassium. This potassium is specially bonded (chelated) with amino acids to enhance assimilation. KEY FEATURES -
Essential for the regulation of heart action. -
Bonded with amino acids. -
Assists in muscle contraction. -
Assists maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. -
Important in sending nerve impulses. -
Important in releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. -
Aid in converting blood sugar into glycogen. -
For normal blood pressure. Potassium is a necessary mineral in daily nutrition; it assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. A shortage of potassium can cause a potentially fatal condition known as hypokalemia. With the exception of calcium and phosphorus, no other mineral is as abundant in the human body as potassium.
Potassium's task is a formidable one, primarily because of its role as an electrolyte, a mineral that takes on a positive or negative charge when dissolved in the watery medium of body fluids. (Sodium and chloride are other important electrolytes.) To regulate blood pressure and muscle contraction, and to keep nerves, kidneys, and a host of other body processes working properly, the body needs to maintain these electrolytes in a delicate balance. In addition, potassium aids in converting blood sugar (glucose, the body's foremost fuel), into glycogen, a form of energy that can be stored in the muscles and liver and released as needed.
Suggested Use: 1 tablet daily, or as recommended by your health care professional.
