Minerals, Potassium Manufacturers

Potassium is a necessary mineral in daily nutrition. It assists in muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. A shortage of potassium can cause a potentially fatal condition known as hypokalemia, frequently caused by diarrhea, increased diuresis and vomiting.
