Description

As with calcium and phosphorus, potassium is one of the most important mineral elements. Five percent of the body's mineral content is potassium. Like sodium, phosphorus is an alkali / electrolyte and has a single charge as opposed to two electrical charges of most other minerals. It is found in large amounts in our foods and the soil.

Potassium is important for proper muscle and nervous system function and works with sodium to maintain the body's water balance. An electrolyte, this mineral salt conducts electricity when dissolved and is key to promoting a regular heart beat.

Potassium also helps maintain blood pressure levels and regulates cell nutrient availability. It also aids in the disposal of bodily toxins.

In general, Potassium is good for everything from our arteries to our skin and keeps the body looking youthful and vibrant.
