Supplements - Potassium


We wanted to talk to you about why it's important to supplement during weight loss.  One reason is that you are eating less food, so we want to ensure you are still meeting your nutrient needs.  With that in mind, let's focus on our Potassium supplement.  Provided below is some helpful information about it.

Potassium offers a wide range of nutritional support for healthy functioning of many organs in the body. Potassium specifically supports contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscles as well as gastric secretion, renal function, tissue synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism.


Essential to cardiovascular function


Potassium activates many enzymatic reactions and is essential to a number of physiologic processes, including: transmission of nerve impulses; contraction of cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles; gastric secretion; renal function; tissue synthesis; and carbohydrate metabolism. Potassium is the major cation of intracellular fluid and is essential for maintenance of acid-alkaline balance, isotonicity, and electrodynamic characteristics of the cell. In addition, it works with sodium to maintain healthy water balance, heart rhythm, and nerve and muscle function. Research suggests that adequate potassium intake may support healthy blood flow and cardiovascular health.
