It performs many functions within the metabolic system, including maintaining and regulating the fluid content of cells. Other functions include the transmission of nerve impulses and the control of muscle contractions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium enters the body through food and is metabolised there. Both too low and too high levels of potassium – for example, due to excessive consumption of potassium tablets – can lead to dangerous disorders. Typical symptoms of this can include diarrhoea, muscle twitching, sensory disturbances or even cardiac arrhythmias. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium deficiency is usually linked to a poor diet or to severe diarrhoea or vomiting. In such cases, potassium absorption is disrupted due to increased fluid loss. Taking potassium tablets can help to counteract this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, excess intake is also possible, albeit rare. Increased potassium intake and the associated overdose can lead to digestive problems, muscle weakness or cardiac arrhythmia. In this case, you should stop taking the dietary supplement immediately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium intake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is almost impossible to consume excessive amounts of potassium through diet alone. Side effects may only occur if 5,000 to 6,000 mg is consumed daily over a prolonged period, as the daily requirement for an adult is 4,000 mg of potassium. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor healthy individuals, it is easily possible to meet the daily requirement through diet alone. Even for pregnant or breastfeeding women, the requirement is not significantly higher at 4,400 mg. However, in some cases it may be advisable to take additional potassium. Following consultation with a doctor, those affected can purchase and take potassium tablets. However, they should adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe effects of potassium and the consequences of a deficiency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe element potassium has several functions and thus contributes in various ways to maintaining a healthy body. It not only regulates the nervous system and blood pressure, but also contributes to normal muscle function, as potassium enables nerve cells to transmit important signals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA potassium deficiency can occur when a significant amount of fluid is lost, for example through diarrhoea or vomiting. Excessive sweating can also lead to an increased need for potassium and result in a deficiency of this mineral. Stress can also be a factor: changes in hormone levels caused by stress can lead to the kidneys excreting additional potassium. Conditions such as diabetes can also lead to a potassium deficiency. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo counteract a potassium deficiency, potassium tablets can be taken. Potassium tablets contain a particularly high dose of the mineral and can help to counteract a deficiency or an increased need for potassium. They should be taken in addition to a balanced diet and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium as a dietary supplement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium tablets are available at any pharmacy or from online shops such as VITALOVE. They come in various forms. The most common form is potassium tablets to be swallowed, but effervescent tablets or powders are also available as dietary supplements. Whichever form you choose, potassium is available over the counter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePotassium supplements are usually packaged in handy containers that allow you to take the daily dose one at a time. The packaging should be stored in a dry place away from direct light to ensure the product retains its effectiveness and taste. If you forget to take a dose on a particular day, it is best to continue with your normal daily dose rather than taking a double dose. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs children and adolescents require significantly less potassium than adults, taking additional potassium tablets should be discussed with a doctor. For an initial assessment, it may be helpful to check the potassium content of common foods.
