Potassium Ionic Mineral Supplement by Eidon
Potassium deficiency can result from diuretic use, diarrhea, increased caffeine intake, high stress levels, or high salt intake.
Potassium supports:
-A healthy nervous system
-Acid/alkaline balance
-Muscle contraction
-Normal blood-pressure
-Optimal electrolyte balance
Potassium balances the acid/alkaline system,
transmits electrical signals between nerves and cells, aids in the regulation
of the body's water balance and is essential for efficient muscle contraction.
A deficiency may cause severe dehydration. Potassium functions to maintain the
normal acid-base (pH) balance in the blood and tissues.
Potassium is one of seven macro minerals--inorganic nutrients needed in
relatively high daily amounts. Along with chloride and sodium, potassium is an
essential electrolyte. They are called electrolytes because they carry an
electrical charge when dissolved in body fluids. These three elements are
distributed throughout the body's fluids, including blood, lymph, and
inter-cellular fluids.
Electrolytes help regulate nerve transmission and many cell membrane functions.
Magnesium helps maintain the potassium in the cells; but even more crucial is
the proper sodium to potassium balance. Without potassium, cell growth can be
retarded. Potassium works with sodium to regulate blood pressure and transmit
nerve impulses. Along with magnesium, it is essential to the proper functioning
of the heart muscle. Potassium acts as the catalyst stimulating cellular contraction.
Low potassium intake encourages sodium retention, which raises blood pressure.
Hypertension is often a result of low potassium levels in comparison to sodium.
The body should normally contain more potassium than sodium, but the standard
American diet, with its reliance on fast foods, packaged convenience foods,
chips, and salt is too high in sodium and too low in potassium. Research has
found that a high sodium diet with low potassium intake tends to elevate the
blood pressure. This usually leads to a doctor's prescription of diuretics
which can cause even more potassium loss, further aggravating the underlying
problems. This mineral is absolutely essential in proper amounts for good
health.
The Eidon Difference: Large doses are used in solid supplements becuase most of the mineral is not absorbed. Eidon Minerals are 100% bioavailable. It is not necessary to take large doses in order to be effective.

Symptoms
of Deficiency:
A deficiency of potassium (hypokalemia) can occur in people with chronic disease or as
a result of the aging process. The most common problems associated with reduced
potassium levels are hypertension, congestive heart failure, cardiac
arrhythmias, depression, and fatigue.
A variety of conditions can
cause the loss of potassium from the body. The most common of these conditions
are vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems.
Kidney disease (such as
acute renal failure) and diabetes, depending on the stage of either, can also
cause fluctuations in the levels of potassium. Additionally, many medications
can cause depletion of potassium. Examples include diuretics, cortisone,
prolonged use of aspirin, and laxatives.
The most common symptom
of potassium depletion is fatigue. Other symptoms of potassium deficiency include slow
reflexes, muscle weakness, acne, and dry skin. A quick loss of potassium could
lead to cardiac arrhythmias.
