K+2 Potassium 120 Vegetarian Capsules

Your body uses a mineral called potassium to support a number of important functions. Potassium helps your heart work effectively and your muscles contract; it also keeps your bones strong and healthy. You can get potassium from foods in your diet: these foods include meats, salmon, dairy products, fruits, legumes, and vegetables.

However, potassium intake can be tricky. You need to have the right balance, which depends on how much magnesium and sodium you get from your diet. When you have too much potassium in your blood, you may develop a condition called hyperkalemia. Conversely, a potassium deficiency can result in hypokalemia. Even if you eat a balanced diet, you can still lack potassium if you’re suffering from diarrhea, severe sweating, or vomiting.

If your potassium levels are too low, you may feel weak and experience muscle cramps, a racing heart, or stomach problems. If you have hypokalemia, your doctor may want you to take a supplement to help bring your potassium levels back up where they should be.

Designs for Health’s K+2 Potassium helps you absorb potassium without overloading your body. Each capsule has 300 mg of potassium, derived from a special formula that contains:

• Potassium glycinate complex, which combines potassium with the protein-building amino acid glycine to help your body better absorb the mineral.
• Potassium bicarbonate, which helps reduce or prevent discomfort or damage caused by acids.

Each bottle of K+2 Potassium by Designs for Health contains 120 vegetarian capsules, which will last you one to four months, depending on your dosage. Take one to four capsules a day with food, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
