Potassium bicarbonate
Potassium is found in many foods and is an important nutrient for cardiovascular health. It also supports bone health, the digestive process and muscle function, especially muscular contractions. Because of this, it is essential for a strong, regular heartbeat. In fact, very low potassium can cause irregular or slow heart rate, extreme muscle weakness and fatigue. Potassium, like magnesium, sodium, and chloride is an electrolyte. An imbalance in electrolytes such as potassium can stress several processes including muscle function and nerve conduction, inhibit intestinal motility and lead to constipation.
Potassium bicarbonate is an alkaline mineral found in nutritional supplements. This alkaline mineral can assist a diet that is too acidic.

Ingredient Benefits
Supports calcium absorption
Studies on potassium bicarbonate found that it reduces calcium loss and promotes calcium absorption. This is possibly attributed to its alkaline properties to reduce acid in the blood to protect the bones from decalcification.
Promotes healthy cardiovascular function
Very low potassium can cause irregular or slow heart rate, extreme muscle weakness and fatigue.
Supports healthy potassium levels
Adults need about 3,500 - 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day for nerve and muscle function and to help maintain proper blood pressure levels.
