With potassium benefits ranging from lower blood pressure to improved bone health, this key mineral is absolutely essential for almost every aspect of health. Not only that, but a potassium deficiency can cause a number of serious side effects, including heart problems, bloating, cramps, and more.
Potassium is an essential nutrient used to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Potassium is also the third most abundant mineral in the body and an essential mineral for the function of several organs, including the heart, kidneys, brain, and muscle tissue. It also plays an important role in keeping the body hydrated and works in conjunction with the mineral sodium to maintain your body's cellular function.
Symptoms of low potassium levels, also known as hypokalemia, can be incredibly dangerous and can include severe headaches, dehydration, heart palpitations, and swelling of glands and tissues.
Health benefits of taking POTASSIUM 99 mg from Pure Nutrition:
- Improves Heart Health - Potassium is absolutely essential for heart health and plays a central role in regulating your heart rhythm to ensure your heart works efficiently. In fact, if you have problems with your heart rhythm, potassium deficiency is one of the causes.
- Prevents Muscle Cramps - One of the benefits of taking potassium is the reduction of muscle cramps and improved muscle strength. Muscle weakness, muscle pain, and muscle cramps are common side effects of low potassium levels. This is especially common when athletes become dehydrated and do not consume enough foods or supplements with potassium before and after exercise.
- Reduces the risk of stroke - One of the biggest benefits of potassium is its ability to promote heart health and reduce the risk of stroke.
- Lowers blood pressure - Potassium, in combination with other minerals like calcium and magnesium, prevents fluid buildup in cells. Fluid buildup in cells is what raises blood pressure and can lead to heart palpitations, narrowed arteries, scarring, and poor circulation.
- Improves appearance and reduces cellulite - Fluid retention is one of the main potential causes of cellulite. Unfortunately, most people consume too much sodium and not enough potassium. Sodium brings nutrients into your cells, while potassium helps flush out excess waste from your cells.
- Supports Healthy Growth and Development - Your body actually needs potassium to process and utilize the carbohydrates you consume. As a child or adult, you also need potassium to build protein and muscle. If you are younger and your body is still growing, then potassium helps ensure that your growth continues at a normal, healthy rate.
- Protects against osteoporosis - There is a direct relationship between bone density and increased potassium intake.
