Mineral for blood pressure, muscle function and nervous system

Besides sodium and chloride, potassium is one of the most important electrolytes in the body. Electrolytes are minerals in ionic form. Potassium citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid. It is a white, slightly hygroscopic, odourless powder with a slightly salty taste. In food, potassium is found mainly in vegetables and fruit, potatoes and meat, but also in bread, milk and nuts.

Functions of potassium in the body

In the body, potassium is found in every body cell. The mineral is involved in the body's water balance and is important for maintaining normal blood pressure. Another function of potassium is to support muscle function. Potassium ensures that the muscles contract well and can relax again. Potassium also plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses.
