Potassium

Potassium is an essential electrolyte critical for cellular function, working synergistically with magnesium and sodium. Modern processed diets have created widespread potassium deficiency, which is further exacerbated by magnesium depletion impairing potassium retention.

This mineral is crucial for nervous system function and muscle contractions, helping counterbalance sodium's excitatory effects. It plays a vital role in adrenal function, insulin sensitivity, and aids in cellular detoxification by flushing excess calcium from cells alongside magnesium.
