What is Potassium?
Supporting your body’s heart, muscle, and nerve functions, potassium is an essential mineral
your body needs to work properly. It works as an electrolyte, helping to balance a range of body
functions
Who should take Potassium?
Because your body can’t produce this mineral, it’s important to eat a variety of potassium-rich
foods such as avocados, bananas, apricots, spinach, tomatoes, baked potatoes, lean meats,
and dairy, such as milk and yogurt. If you’re not getting enough through your diet—or if your
health care practitioner recommends taking a potassium supplement or you have a potassium
deficiency (hypokalemia, as diagnosed by a healthcare professional)—then supplementing with
potassium may help.
