Dietary Supplement! SUPPORTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Potassium-HP supplies 1200 mg per serving of an essential mineral that ensures the healthy functioning of various organ systems and is central to cardiovascular function. MUSCLE FUNCTION: Electrolytes, such as potassium, play a role in transmitting electrical nerve impulses, which are essential for proper muscle function. ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: Electrolytes are minerals that are found in blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids, and help balance the amount of water in the body. Potassium works in balance with other electrolytes to help the body run smoothly. Potassium-HP is a high potency potassium supplement with magnesium. Each teaspoon serving supplies 1,200 mg of elemental Potassium (as potassium citrate) and 120 mg of elemental Magnesium (as magnesium citrate malate). According to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (Dietary Reference intakes: Water, Potassium, Sodium Chloride and Sulfate. February 1, 2004), adults should consume at least 4.7 grams of potassium per day to maintain healthy blood pressure, blunt the effects of salt, and reduce the risk of bone loss. However, most American women 31 to 50 years old consume no more than half of the recommended amount of potassium, and men’s intake is only moderately higher. There was no evidence of chronic excess intakes of potassium in apparently healthy individuals and thus no UL [upper limit of the intake] was established.
