Potassium

Potassium is essential for nerve and cell function. Potassium influences your pH level and maintains normal levels of fluid and electrolytes. Potassium can decrease the risk of high blood pressure, kidney stones, and osteoporosis. Men and women should try to consume 4,700mg of potassium per day. If you have lost a kidney or have impaired kidney function, please check guidelines before consuming this amount. Typically, you should consume less than 4,700mg.
