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

Potassium is an important intracellular mineral which can be of importance for the normal function of the muscles and nerves. Furthermore, it is necessary for the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
More than 98% of the body's potassium can be found in the cells, which 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 condition for an accurate water content in the cells as well as 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. Most people’s daily salt consumption exceeds the recommended amount of five grams per day by at least double. It is commonly known that too much salt in food increases the risk for high blood pressure (hypertension).

Occurrence in food

Potassium is primarily contained in plant-based foods such as bananas, potatoes, spinach and champignon mushrooms. Good sources of potassium are also legumes, brewer's yeast and dried fruits.

Bioavailability of potassium

Potassium citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid and can be resorbed by the body quickly. A potential excess of potassium or citrate ions is excreted with the urine. The bioavailability of potassium citrate is higher than the bioavailability of potassium carbonate. The resorption of citrate is up to 66% higher than the resorption of carbonate.
