Description
Potassium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It helps to control the body's fluid balance, transmit nerve signals and helps the muscles contract. Potassium is very good for the kidneys. It acts as an agent to keep calcium from forming stones. Potassium may also help painful joints, swelling or stiffness. It neutralizes acids in the joints, which helps ease stiffness and supports ease of movement. A lack of potassium can also result in muscle and bone weakness. Potassium helps carry oxygen to the brain. This nutrient is essential for healthy brain function. Potassium also plays an important role in maintaining healthy blood pressure. Excessive urination and perspiration cause a loss of potassium. Heavy coffee drinkers who urinate frequently, or people who live in warm climates, are most susceptible to a potassium deficiency. Potassium tablets are an excellent way to replenish and maintain potassium levels. They are often taken with salt tablets to restore the proper saltpotassium ratio.
