Wholefood Potassium – (60 veg caps)

Wholefood Potassium, an innovative blend of potassium with added wholefoods formulated to boost absorption in the body.
Potassium is an important electrolyte that counteracts the effects of sodium, helping to maintain consistent blood pressure.
Potassium is also important for maintaining the balance of acids and alkalis in the body, blood pressure regulation, muscle function and very important for the normal functioning of a healthy nervous system.

Some of the best sources of potassium are fresh leafy greens, avocados, tomatoes, potatoes, and beans but conventional food processing can greatly reduce the amount of dietary potassium actually available. Many processed foods are also high in sodium. As sodium consumption rises, increased potassium is needed to counterbalance the effect of sodium on blood pressure. For example: when some people consume very salty foods, they can sometimes feel a little strange afterwards, as the salt enters the blood stream and increases heart rate and blood pressure. To off set this, try taking a little potassium (without exceeding any recommended daily dose), to counteract the sodium (re the body's natural sodium-potassium balance) but ideally, avoid foods that contain too much salt (sodium chloride) as part of a healthy, long term strategy to best protect the body, in particular, the cardiovascular system.
