Blood pressure

Blood pressure is an important indicator of our general well-being, as it measures how hard the blood is pushing against the walls of the arteries. Healthy blood pressure is crucial to protect the heart and blood vessels. Blood pressure that is too high or too low can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Potassium plays a central role in regulating blood pressure. It helps to lower sodium levels in the body by promoting excretion via the kidneys. A balanced ratio of sodium and potassium supports the relaxation of blood vessels and can thus help to normalize blood pressure and protect the cardiovascular system.
