Potassium – is an essential mineral (microelement) to the human body. Even though it is found in almost all food products, there is sometimes deficiency of this mineral. This element is responsible for normal muscle function and good concentration. It is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses by neurons, provides adequate hydration in the body and is an activator of many enzymes.

Potassium cations are the primary intracellular ions, necessary to maintain the action potential of cell membranes. Potassium regulates the osmotic balance (the osmotic pressure which balances the penetration of water through semipermeable membrane) and water-electrolyte (ion; acid-alkaline) balance of cells. To put it simply – it increases the excretion of water from the organism.

The deficiency of potassium causes: weakness of the body (especially skeletal and smooth muscles), the decrease in the myocardial contractility, contractures (cramps) of muscles, heart diseases (e.g. tachycardia), kidney diseases, apathy, confusion, reduced response to stimuli, dry skin, hypertension, irritability, swelling of arms and legs.

To sum up, Now Foods Potassium Citrate is a dietary supplement which is a natural, organic and perfectly assimilated source of potassium. It effectively corrects the deficiency, prevents muscle contractures, removes excess water from the body, strengthens the nervous system, heart, and skeletal muscles.
