Potassium Chloride?

[Guest guest]

After doing some reading about potassiium chloride, I'm starting to see that we need to add this to our diet. What is the safest form to buy? Any suggestions?

Potassium Chloride is not Iodine. You may be thinking of Potassium Iodide. After finding this article, I see what foods are good sources of this element. I'm mainly concerned for my hubby who has had some problems with his blood pressure.

Potassium is an element in the periodic table. It has the symbol K (Latin for kalium). The name "potassium" comes from the word "potash", as potassium was first isolated from potash. Potassium is a soft silvery-white metallic alkali metal that occurs naturally bound to other elements in seawater and many minerals. With the exception of calcium and phosphorus, no other mineral is as abundant in the human body as potassium. Almost 98% of potassium is found inside the cells. Potassium gets very little press, yet it's effective at lowering blood pressure — and even a 1 to 2 percent reduction translates into a reduced risk of strokes. Potassium also helps reduce the incidence of kidney stones and heart arrhythmias. Potassium even appears to benefit bones by neutralizing acids in the bloodstream that leach calcium from bone deposits. For more information on how to treat high blood pressure naturally.Potassium Daily RequirementThe current guidelines call for up to 5 grams a day, but most Americans don't get close. Potassium in Food - Potassium Rich FoodsFoods high in potassium include molasses, sweet yams, bananas, dates and figs, tomato juice, raisins, and apricots. Other good sources of potassium in food include cantaloupe, orange, and almonds. A single cup of sweet potato has 950 milligrams. Four figs add up to 540; a cup of cantaloupe, 500, and a glass of orange juice is 450 mg.

Potassium chloride - Potassium supplementPotassium chloride is in the class of drugs called potassium supplements which are used to treat low potassium conditions (hypokalemia) or prevent them from occurring. Potassium is the principal positive ion inside of the cells of the body and is used in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and normal kidney function. Brand names of potassium chloride include K-Dur, K-Lor, K-Tab, Kaon CL, Klorvess, Slow-K, Ten-K, Klotrix, K-Lyte CL and many others.
