Potassium Gluconate Powder Overview

NOW Food's Potassium Gluconate is an absorbable form of the valuable mineral potassium in an easy-to-use powder. There are many reasons a person may want to use a potassium supplement. When illness or exercise cause extreme fluid loss, both sodium and potassium need to be replenished. Those who retain excess water from over-consuming salt and sodium can also help put things back in balance with NOW Potassium Gluconate. Potassium can also have a balancing effect on blood pressure too. And if you don't eat a lot of fresh food, chances are you aren't getting enough potassium, most people don't, and processing destroys much of the potassium content of foods.

Potassium Gluconate Powder Description from NOW
Potassium is an important mineral used in various bodily functions. It is an important factor in the maintenance of the body's acid-base balance and nerve conduction, as well as the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. Potassium is found in a number of foods, including dairy, fish and other meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Because food processing reduces the levels of naturally occurring nutrients in foods, supplementation may be necessary to insure adequate intake.
