Potassium plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the heart and skeletal muscles. It is essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contractility, and maintaining normal blood pressure, energy production, and nucleic acid synthesis. Diets rich in potassium are often associated with improved cardiovascular health. Thorne's Potassium Citrate promotes cardiovascular, muscle, and nerve health. Combined with citrate, potassium alkalinizes the urine, which makes minerals like calcium more soluble, supporting kidney and lower urinary tract health.*

INTERACTIONS
ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the body.
