Product Description

Potassium is required in the cell, where it is stored.  Intracellular potassium levels are required at higher levels than outside the cell for optimal nerve conduction, blood pressure support, heart and skeletal muscle function.  Potassium is also an alkalinizing agent for the urine, where it can help prevent the accumulation of unwanted solids. Take one capsule one to three times per day, or as recommended by a health practitioner. Many drugs can deplete potassium levels such as: Aspirin, laxatives, sodium bicarbonate, trisalicylate, colchicine, corticosteroids, and non-potassium sparing diuretics (thiazides). Caution when using potassium with potassium-sparing diuretics and ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) as these medications can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone.
