Potassium is called the "alkalizer." It neutralizes acids and restores alkaline salts to the bloodstream. Potassium works with sodium in all cells including at nerve synapses to maintain or restore membrane potentials and to assist in metabolic processes. Potassium is critical to cardiovascular and nerve function, regulating the transfer of nutrients into cells and facilitating muscle energy.
Potassium also regulates water balance and assists recuperative powers. Potassium aids rheumatic or arthritic conditions (causing acids to leave the joints and ease stiffness). Potassium is vital for the elimination of wastes. Potassium is a natural pain desensitizer. Potassium helps control convulsions, headaches and migraines, promotes faster healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries and generally contributes to a sense of well being.
Potassium is stored in the muscles.
Some Symptoms of Potassium Deficiency:
Bad circulation, bluish tint to skin, Chronic-Fatigue Syndrome, diabetes, earaches, edema, headaches, heart palpitations, hypertension, insomnia, intestinal pain, muscle weakness, oppressive breathing, pain in the eyes, prolapsed uterus, swollen glands, tissue anemia, and water retention.
Note:
Potassium benefits and/or deficiency symptoms are generic for the mineral. No product claims are being made or implied.
Ionic* Potassium (1500 ppm), Purified Water.
* "Most minerals [from food] are 8-12% absorbable, Chelated Minerals are 40% absorbable, and liquid... Minerals are 98% absorbable, being 7000 times smaller than Red blood cells, with negative-charge for absorption." - Joseph B. Marion; Anti-aging Manual. ("With a negative charge" means the minerals are ionic.)
Suggested Use for Potassium:
Adults: 1/2 to 1 ounce (1 to 2 tablespoons) daily. May be added to fruit or vegetable juice.
Important Notes Concerning Potassium:
The suggested daily amount of Potassium is an absolute minimum intended to supplement a very well balanced diet. Should your diet be less than perfect, increasing your Potassium intake may be beneficial.
These days even well balanced diets may not provide all the essential nutrients. In 1936 Rex Beach stated in Senate Document #264, "The alarming fact is that foods--fruits and vegetables and grains--now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us--no matter how much of them we eat!" Do our farm lands produce any better crops today?
Since ionic Potassium does not build up in the body, it never reaches toxic levels. Therefore feel free to find the amount that works best for you.
Potassium is best taken in the morning as it opposes Calcium, which is typically consumed in the evening.
