Potassium For Heart Health

Potassium is a main factor in keeping blood pressure at the correct level for maximum cardiovascular benefits.

Potassium must be in balance with sodium for proper water balance in the body. It is more effective when taken with magnesium.

Heartbeat irregularities are a sign of potassium deficiency. Other signs are loss of appetite, constipation, fatigue, weakness, numbness and tingling in legs, nausea, and confusion.

Potassium is found in baked potatoes, apricots, cantaloupe, spinach and bananas.

The daily recommended dosage for potassium is 99mg.
