Potassium

Support for blood pressure, muscles, and the nervous system

Potassium is an important mineral involved in multiple bodily functions. It contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure and plays a role in regulating fluid balance in the body. Potassium works together with sodium to regulate blood pressure and the amount of fluid in the cells.

Additionally, potassium contributes to normal muscle function. It helps with the transmission of signals to muscle cells, which is essential for muscle contractions and smooth movements.

Potassium also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, as it is involved in signal transmission between nerve cells. This supports communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Sources of Potassium

Potassium is found in many foods, especially in fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

Good sources of potassium include:

  • Bananas, oranges, and avocados.
  • Potatoes and sweet potatoes.
  • Beans and lentils.
  • Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale.
  • Nuts and seeds like almonds and sunflower seeds.

Since potassium is water-soluble, some may be lost during cooking. Steaming or baking instead of boiling can help preserve the potassium content in foods.

Forms and Absorption

Potassium occurs in the form of potassium ions, which dissolve easily in water and are absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine. The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating potassium levels in the body.

A balanced intake of potassium and sodium is important for good fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. A diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits contributes to optimal potassium intake.

synonyms for Potassium: Potassium, potassium chloride, potassium citrate, potassium bicarbonate and potassium gluconate.
