Potassium ( Gluconate ) 500mg

Potassium is a chemical element and an essential mineral micro-nutrient. It is an important mineral for the optimal function of all cells, tissues and organs in the human body. Potassium is also an electrolyte, which works alongside sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium. In order to maintain the correct balance of potassium in the body, an optimal level of sodium and magnesium must be present in the blood. Too much sodium increases the need for potassium. Potassium and sodium work on a gradient of concentration against each other across cell membranes regulating osmotic pressure and electrolyte balance, initiating impulses through action potential. A healthy balance of these two minerals is critical for many bodily functions such as nerve signalling, muscle contraction and heart function. Optimal potassium levels are therefore vital for normal digestive and muscular processes.
