potassium

Potassium contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Potassium is an extremely important mineral in the human body, where it plays a key role in nerve function, maintaining blood pressure, and muscle function. Inadequate dietary intake of potassium is very rare, but under certain conditions, potassium deficiency can occur, leading to adverse side effects.

Potassium Mono contains potassium in easily absorbable citrate form for supplemental intake. Potassium was discovered along with sodium in the 18th century and is an essential mineral for humans. After calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur, it is the fourth most abundant element in the body. In the human organism, potassium is mainly bound to other minerals, and the total potassium content is around 100–150g. Approximately 98 percent of the body's potassium is stored in the body's cells, where it performs its primary functions. Potassium is important for the normal function of the nervous system; more specifically, it plays a key role in signal transmission between muscle and nerve cells (conduction of excitation). It thus contributes to normal muscle function and controls muscle contractions, such as the heart muscle. Together with phosphate and proteins, it ensures the maintenance of osmotic pressure in the cells. Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Potassium is found in many plant and animal foods. Whole-grain bread, meat, fish, coffee, tea, cocoa, bananas, spinach, chard, pistachios, and peanuts are considered particularly good sources of potassium. The way food is prepared plays a crucial role, as potassium can easily be leached out during washing, cooking, and boiling, and is thus lost. A potassium deficiency due to diet is rare and only occurs with very low food intake, such as during strict fasting diets. Potassium deficiency can easily occur in various conditions or illnesses, such as chronic kidney disease, diarrhea, vomiting, or the use of diuretic or laxative medications. Many people suffer from constipation and take laxatives. This lowers the body's potassium levels, increasing intestinal sluggishness and thus constipation. An unhealthy cycle begins. However, long-term, excessive potassium intake can also be detrimental to health.
