Where to get this vital mineral
Potassium
Potassium is one of the macrominerals. Potassium is found in vegetables (especially green leafy vegetables), oranges, whole grains, sunflower seeds, potatoes (especially in the peels), and bananas. It is most effective when taken in combination with Vitamin B-6. Potassium is essential for muscle, nerve, and heart tissue, and it assists in the proper maintenance of the blood's mineral balance, as well as stabilizing the blood pressure. It works with sodium to regulate the body's fluid balance. Potassium helps to regulate the heartbeat and assists in muscle contractions. The therapeutic benefits of potassium help prevent atherosclerosis, hypertension, and water retention. (Information from the Herbal Information Center & Vitamin Directory).
