There are several reasons why potassium is so important. It helps your nervous system transfer impulses between your brain and the rest of the body‚ communicating and telling it what to do. In addition‚ this mineral helps support skeletal‚ cardiac‚ and smooth muscle contraction. Some people may also feel like it has a positive effect on your mood.
Potassium also promotes healthy kidney functioning; good renal health may allow your body to rid itself of waste and toxins. It can also support the metabolism of the carbohydrates in your diet; this may help convert the food you eat into energy. Its physiological benefits extend to the vital role it plays in gastric secretion‚ the process that releases mucus‚ stomach acid‚ protease enzymes‚ and hormones in order to digest food and absorb the nutrients it contains.
When combined with sodium‚ potassium aspartate may have cardiovascular benefits by supporting heart rhythms and fluid levels throughout the body‚ as well as muscle and nerve functioning. All in all‚ most vital organs need potassium to work properly. Finally‚ potassium can support strong bones by encouraging better absorption of calcium.
Common dietary sources of potassium include carrots‚ potatoes‚ blackberries‚ grapes‚ citrus fruits‚ and leafy green vegetables.
A supplement like Pure Encapsulations' Potassium (Aspartate) Capsules are a convenient way to ensure that you get enough of this mineral. Unlike other forms of potassium‚ it's already bound to aspartic acid‚ an amino acid that may further support mineral absorption and cellular functioning.
Each bottle of Potassium (Aspartate) by Pure Encapsulations contains 90 vegetable capsules. At the recommended dosage of two capsules daily‚ with food in divided doses‚ one bottle should last for 45 days.
