Potassium is the most important intracellular cation and one of the key electrolytes. It increases the permeability of cell membranes (the cell membrane is a semipermeable biological membrane that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world) and thus counteracts cell swelling. Its presence is necessary for protein synthesis. It is also an essential component of many enzymatic processes. It determines the smooth functioning of the nervous system and muscles. It is one of the main components of extracellular fluids that surround cells and tissues. It influences the water and acid-base balance of the body and is involved in maintaining osmotic pressure [1]. Additionally, it plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Its blood pressure regulating effect is based on its antagonistic action to sodium, whose excessive intake (e.g., in the form of table salt) can lead to the development of hypertension. Disorders of potassium metabolism can, among other things, lead to cardiac arrhythmias.

In summary, the dietary supplement Potassium 380mg from Vitaler contains well-absorbed potassium citrate. The formula contains no artificial additives and is easy to administer.
