3 types of organic potassium (potassium gluconate, potassium malate and potassium citrate) in one tablet. Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body, required by an adult body at 3500-4000mg per day. 90% of this is taken up by a perfectly healthy person on a balanced mixed diet. Yet the need for potassium supplementation has become more common because of the increasing number of people with digestive complaints, kidney problems and chronic stress, which are associated with significant potassium losses.
Potassium levels are further reduced by high salt intake, alcoholism, low fruit and vegetable intake, starvation diets, diarrhoea and certain medications, leading to hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias and muscle weakness. One of the major problems with low potassium intake is that the body is unable to neutralise acids, as potassium regulates the acid-base balance to maintain the body's proper pH. Potassium protects the calcium content of bones, provides oxygen to the brain, is vital for healthy blood pressure levels, is an effective stress reliever and ensures proper functioning of the heart, kidneys and muscle tissue. Potassium reduces muscle cramps (including PMS cramps) and improves muscle strength. Potassium is involved in blood sugar and blood pressure regulation, gastric juice production and affects enzyme functions. Potassium is an essential nutrient for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.

Potassium has been shown to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Most heart rhythm disorders are caused by a potassium deficiency and even minute changes in potassium levels can be associated with an increased risk of slow or fast heart rate, which can further increase heart problems.
