Gall Pharma Potassium 200 mg capsules, 60 ST

Gall Pharma Potassium 200 mg Capsules are a food supplement containing 200 mg potassium per capsule. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function and to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Potassium 200 mg GPH Capsules contain 200 mg potassium in the form of potassium chloride in a hard gelatine capsule. KCl because there is often a deficit of potassium and chloride ions. Potassium is lost in large quantities during the preparation of food, for example through washing and cooking. A lack of potassium can cause a number of disorders in the body that are relatively unspecific. Too frequent use of laxatives (laxatives) causes potassium levels to fall.

Due to its relatively high daily requirement, potassium is one of the macroelements among the minerals. The potassium content depends on the metabolically active body mass. Potassium is present almost exclusively (up to 98%) inside the cells and is very important for their functions. Together with phosphate and proteins, it ensures the osmotic pressure in the cells. Potassium is involved in the regulation of the water-electrolyte balance. It regulates the balance of acids and bases. Potassium is necessary for controlling the electrochemical processes in nerves and muscles (transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of muscle tissue) and as an enzyme activator. Potassium is found in many foods. It is abundant in fruit and vegetables (spinach, chard, lamb's lettuce, etc.), wholemeal bread, meat and fish.
