{"product_id":"liquid-potassium","title":"Liquid Potassium","description":"\u003cp\u003ePotassium is one of seven inorganic, macro mineral nutrients needed in relatively high daily amounts. It is the third most prevalent element in the body after Calcium. Along with Chloride, Sodium, Magnesium and Calcium, Potassium is an essential electrolyte. These elements are called electrolytes because they carry an electrical charge when dissolved in body fluids. These elements are distributed throughout the body's fluids, including blood, lymph, and interstitial fluids, as well as intracellular fluids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectrolytes 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 function will be impacted. Potassium works with Sodium to regulate blood pressure, transmit nerve impulses, and maintain cellular wall permeability. Along with Magnesium, it is essential for the proper functioning of the heart muscle. In this role, Potassium acts as the catalyst stimulating cellular contraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body should normally contain more Potassium than Sodium, but the standard American diet, with its reliance on fast foods, packaged convenience foods and refined salt, is too high in Sodium and Chloride and too low in Potassium. An imbalanced diet could be as simple as high protein and low vegetable and fruit intake. Research has found that a high Sodium diet with low Potassium intake tends to disrupt blood pressure. This can lead to a doctor's prescription of diuretics, which can cause even more Potassium loss, further aggravating the underlying problems. This mineral is essential in proper amounts for good health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotassium has many functions but most important are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulating intracellular fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAids in the regulation of the body's water balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacilitating nerve impulses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission of electrical signals between nerves and cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContracting muscle tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalancing the acid\/alkaline system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeficiency Causes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiarrhea or vomiting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSevere dehydration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive perspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA diet low in fruits and vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmaceuticals such as diuretics, cortisone, Aspirin and laxatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeficiency Indicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow reflexes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuscle weakness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIrregular heartbeat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood High in Potassium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSweet potatoes, tomato paste\/puree, beet greens, potatoes, beans, yogurt, clams, prune juice, carrot juice, and bananas.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yVZCfow4wao\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eidon Ionic Minerals","offers":[{"title":"2oz Concentrate (Glass Bottle)","offer_id":45420997050556,"sku":"POLC-02","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18oz Regular Strength (HDPE, BPA-Free Plastic Bottle)","offer_id":45420997083324,"sku":"POLM-18","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19oz Concentrate (HDPE, BPA-Free Plastic Bottle)","offer_id":45420997116092,"sku":"POLC-19","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5156\/8572\/files\/POT.png?v=1762933777","url":"https:\/\/pj40zh-y7.myshopify.com\/products\/liquid-potassium","provider":"The Clean Cut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
