Potassium Citrate 1000mg â a high and effectively absorbable dose for optimal support of your body
This is the potassium salt of citric acid, a highly bioavailable form of potassium. Along with sodium, calcium and magnesium, potassium is a key electrolyte in the human body. The product is aimed at people who want to strengthen their cardiovascular, nervous and muscular systems.
98% of potassium is found inside cells: of this, approx. 80% is found in skeletal muscle and approx. 20% in red blood cells and the liver.
A potassium deficiency may manifest itself in the form of heart problems (e.g. palpitations, irregular heartbeat), muscle cramps, especially in the legs, or numbness in the extremities, constipation, weakness, breathing difficulties, especially during light physical exertion, dizziness and headaches.
Athletes, in particular, are at risk of deficiencies due to increased excretion of this element through excessive sweating. People who drink a lot of coffee or tea, or who live under severe stress (excessive and chronic stress leads to increased aldosterone levels in the blood, which increases the excretion of potassium in the urine) and who consume excessive amounts of salt may also experience deficiencies (e.g. from highly processed products; high salt intake can cause fluid retention and increase blood pressure – an adequate supply of potassium helps to remove excess water and to regulate blood pressure).
Magnesium and potassium are complementary electrolytes – they work together and normalise the function of many organs by, among other things, controlling heart rhythm, normal muscle tone and hydration of the body. Deficiencies of these elements often occur together.
