What we use: Potassium Citrate and Potassium Chloride³⁴
What it does:
- Balances fluids with sodium³⁴
- Makes muscles contract (especially your heart!)³⁴
- Sends nerve signals³⁴
- Keeps blood pressure healthy³⁴
When you don't get enough:
- Muscles get weak and cramp up³⁴
- Can't poop (constipation)³⁴
- Heart skips beats³⁴
- Super tired all the time³⁴
- Hard to breathe (your diaphragm is a muscle too!)³⁴
Why we use two forms: Most people only get half the potassium they need. Getting enough is hard, and you need a lot (4,700mg every day).³⁴ We use both citrate (gentle and absorbs well) and potassium chloride. Fun fact: potassium chloride can make things taste more salty without adding sodium!³⁴
