Potassium

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
