The principal intracellular electrolyte. Contributes to normal fluid balance, the maintenance of normal blood pressure, heart rhythm and muscle contraction. Often depleted by intense exercise or low-carbohydrate diets.
Why this form
Potassium citrate is an organic salt that is better tolerated than potassium chloride, with the citrate component additionally supporting urinary alkalinity and acid-base balance alongside its electrolyte role.
Key benefits
Blood pressure & cardiovascular health
Potassium is the principal intracellular cation and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Adequate intake is one of the most consistently supported dietary factors for cardiovascular wellbeing.
Electrolyte balance
Potassium maintains the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes that powers nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction and the continuous pumping of the heart. It is rapidly depleted by intense exercise, sweating and low-carbohydrate diets.
Muscle function
Adequate potassium supports normal membrane excitability and the active transport mechanisms that clear lactate from muscles during exercise, contributing to normal muscle function.
