Kalium spe | 120 Kapseln

As the counterpart to sodium, the mineral potassium is essential for many processes in our body. Above all, it is vital for signal transmission, particularly within the heart¹. These two antagonists—sodium and potassium—regulate fluid balance within cells as well as our blood pressure². Also, these minerals influence the body's acid-base balance.

Since our diet tends to be high in sodium, it is important to maintain balance through adequate potassium intake. Potassium-rich foods include dried fruits, legumes, and above all chanterelle mushrooms. Bananas and – to the delight of many – dark chocolate can also help replenish our stores. Potassium is classified as a macro-mineral because we require around four grams daily unlike trace elements, of which we need only small portions, simply need "traces." The "spe" in the product name Kalium spe stands for trace elements.

A low quantitative requirement does not imply a lack of importance. On the contrary: small amounts yield significant effects. Working in combination, these minerals ensure the smooth functioning of many processes within our organism. "Kalium spe" contains the trace elements iodine and molybdenum in carefully balanced quantities. This combination with potassium ensures an optimal supply, especially when needs are elevated – such as during exercise, periods of heavy sweating, or while taking certain medications.

¹ Potassium contributes to normal nervous system function and normal muscle function.
² Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.
