Potassium is an element that is crucial to our health. It is necessary in functioning of nearly every cell in the body, as well as many systems and organs. The potassium level is closely correlated with the body\u2019s water balance, which means that every case of water intoxication or dehydration impacts the potassium supply in the body. Which is why potassium deficiency occurs relatively often, as this particular element can be lost in the body through many mechanisms \u2013 not just dehydration. The consequences of the potassium level being too low are serious \u2013 which makes it all the more important to enrich the diet with supplements that contain this valuable ingredient.<\/p>\n
Potassium supplements \u2013 who are they for?<\/h2>\n
[POTASSIUM RIGHT]Potassium supplementation is recommended to many people \u2013 not just those diagnosed with potassium deficiency. The benefits of taking this element in form of a supplement can be noticed by each of us. The correct potassium level in blood is 3,5 \u2013 5,5 mmol\/l \u2013 which can be measured using a simple and cheap blood test. Sometimes, however, the potassium level can be within the norm, but we\u2019ll still observe symptoms of a low potassium level in our body.<\/p>\n
The characteristic symptoms are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2013 weakening and chronic fatigue
\n\u2013 muscles prone to weariness
\n\u2013 palpitations
\n\u2013 problems with memory and focus
\n\u2013 swollen legs<\/p>\n
A sudden drop in the potassium level can generate characteristic disorders \u2013 and can lead to a deficiency very fast. There\u2019s a large group of people that are especially at risk of the potassium level in the body dropping.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re talking about people who go through:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2013 vomiting and diarrhea
\n\u2013 taking insulin for their diabetes
\n\u2013 intense physical activity
\n\u2013 taking diuretics and laxatives
\n\u2013 weight-loss diets
\n\u2013 malabsorption
\n\u2013 kidney disorders that cause diuresis
\n\u2013 hypertension<\/p>\n
The above factors generate a potassium loss in the body \u2013 so if any of them affects you, get a potassium supplement \u2013 especially considering that the diet in most cases doesn\u2019t cover the daily potassium requirement which can be as high as 4700 mg.<\/p>\n
What is the price of a potassium supplement?<\/h2>\n
The price for potassium provided through supplements varies a lot \u2013 from few zloties to about 100 PLN. Obviously the more expensive potassium supplements are of much better quality than the cheapest ones. Where lies the difference?<\/p>\n
Preparations containing potassium can differ in:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2013 the dose of the element
\n\u2013 the form of potassium and its absorption rate
\n\u2013 presence of synthetic additives
\n\u2013 advanced production method and running quality checks<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at each of these factors. When it comes to the dose of potassium \u2013 it can vary significantly. A single pill\/capsule can contain few dozens to few hundred milligrams of potassium. Depending on how many pills have to be taken daily \u2013 the final dose of the potassium taken can reach up to 1 g. The most convenient supplements are those that don\u2019t have to be taken more than three times a day. And the optimal daily dose of potassium is about 800 mg \u2013 this much can replenish the supply of this element in the body without providing too much of it. Obviously, the higher the potassium content in a supplement, the higher its price. But another equally important factor that determines the price of potassium is its chemical form.<\/p>\n
The highest bioavailability occurs in organic forms of potassium, such as potassium citrate. It gets absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract to a very high degree, and then distributed to the target cells. It makes the supplementation effective. Harder to absorb \u2013 hence cheaper \u2013 are supplements containing non-organic potassium compounds, such as potassium chloride.<\/p>\n
What to pay attention to when choosing potassium?<\/h2>\n
When choosing any supplement \u2013 including those containing potassium<\/a> \u2013 it is necessary to pay attention to its quality, mostly indicated by a composition that is free from any contaminations, as well as synthetic additives. The preparation should be tested in terms of purity, and its impeccable production process should be confirmed by certificates of testing and complying with EU regulations. The effectiveness of a preparation, on the other hand, should be confirmed by clinical tests.<\/p>\nThe supplement\u2019s composition should definitely get analyzed \u2013 it is very common for preparations to contain numerous fillers, preservatives, synthetic colorings and enhancers. The price of a preparation will be higher for premium quality supplements that are free from additives that pose harm to health. That way you can be sure that you won\u2019t put needless chemicals into your body that can cause allergies, irritate the gastrointestinal tract and interfere with the potassium absorption process. So if you decide to start taking a supplement for your health \u2013 don\u2019t cut any corners. We\u2019re already at enough risk of being exposed to harmful, synthetic compounds \u2013 the supplement shouldn\u2019t be another source of them. Only a good quality preparation will effectively reduce the risk of deficiency and comprehensively support your body.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
