Potassium citrate - 90 capsules

300mg of potassium per capsule - for nervous system, muscle function and blood pressure

Potassium is an important intracellular mineral. It may be important for the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. It is also required for maintaining normal blood pressure.
More than 98% of the potassium in the body is within the cells. This shows how important potassium is for health.

Potassium is the natural antagonist of sodium

The balance between the two minerals potassium and sodium is a prerequisite for the correct water content in the cells and for the regulation of many physiological processes in the body.
Fast food and processed foods often contain too much table salt (source of sodium) and too little potassium. Daily salt consumption for most people is at least twice the World Health Organization recommended amount of five grams per day. It is well known that eating too much salt increases the risk of high blood pressure.

Occurrence in food

Potassium is mainly found in plant-based foods, such as bananas, potatoes, spinach and mushrooms. Legumes, brewer's yeast and dried fruit are also good sources of potassium.

Bioavailability of potassium citrate

Potassium citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid. It is absorbed very quickly by the body. Any excess potassium or citrate ions are excreted in the urine. The bioavailability of potassium citrate is higher than that of potassium carbonate. The absorption of citrate is up to 66% higher than that of carbonate.
