Description
K+2 Potassium™ is a uniquely formulated potassium supplement composed of potassium bicarbonate and potassium bound to the amino acid glycine, delivering optimal potency, stability, and tolerability. Two forms of potassium are combined with glycine to support proper absorption and stability. This formula provides potassium which serves as an electrolyte and is a factor in the maintenance of good health
This uniquely formulated potassium product is composed of potassium bicarbonate because of the substantial research on its alkalinizing capacities and blood pressure support, combined with potassium bound to the amino acid glycine. You can’t beat the potency, stability and tolerability of this potassium product.
Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the human body after calcium and phosphorus. The total body potassium content ranges from 30-40 grams, with 98% contained inside cells, primarily in skeletal muscle. As the most abundant positively charged intracellular electrolyte, potassium maintains concentrations about 30 times higher inside cells than outside, creating a stark contrast to sodium, which is 10 times lower inside cells than outside.
Potassium is abundant in vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts, with smaller amounts in animal foods. Owing to this relative ubiquity, overt potassium deficiency is rare, but suboptimal intake may lead to signs and symptoms of insufficiency, which may include fatigue, lethargy, muscle weakness, cramping or twitching, heavy legs, constipation, intestinal paralysis (resulting in delayed gastric emptying, bloating and abdominal pain), and cardiac arrhythmias.1,2 Inadequate dietary intake does not typically result in hypokalemia (dangerously low blood potassium), but the risk factors for potassium deficiency in the sidebar should be noted.
WHO MAY BENEFIT:
- Individuals with hypertension
- Those at increased risk for stroke
- Individuals with a history of kidney stones
- People on ketogenic/low-carb diets
- Those taking potassium-wasting drugs
