Potassium powers your heart and muscles by regulating fluid balance and electrical activity — it’s essential for energy, strength, and rhythm

Boosting your potassium intake can lower blood pressure, reduce stroke risk, and even cut your chance of early death by 20%.

Fewer than 2% of Americans meet the daily potassium goal of 4,700 mg — despite its role in preventing fatigue, cramps, and serious complications.

Product Description

Potassium is one of the seven essential macro minerals. The human body requires at least 100 milligrams of potassium daily to support key processes. A high potassium intake reduces the risk of overall mortality by 20 percent. It also decreases the risk of stroke, lowers blood pressure, protects against loss of muscle mass, preserves bone mineral density, and reduces the formation of kidney stones. The primary functions of potassium in the body include regulating fluid balance and controlling the electrical activity of the heart and other muscles. Fast facts on potassium:

  • Adults should be consuming 4,700 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day. However, fewer than two percent of people in the U.S. consume enough potassium.
  • Potassium is a balancing electrolyte: many people with problems with sodium may actually require more potassium.
  • Beet greens, white beans, soybeans, coconut water, and lima beans are the foods highest in potassium.
  • Potassium deficiency can lead to fatigue, cramps, weakness, and constipation. It can escalate to paralysis, respiratory failure, and painful gut obstructions.

Super friendly staff. Always quick and always have my prescription right. Cheapest prices around and I wouldn’t get my meds anywhere else. Also a bonus that I’m supporting local. Keep up the great work!

I started coming to Chambers Apothecary because they always had my prescription in stock when other pharmacies didn’t. They have a large variety of their own products, and the staff is always very nice and helpful. Sam S. always takes good care of me!
