Optimal Potassium Seeking Health provides 500mg of potassium per scoop with a refreshing lemon and lime flavor. Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte found in all tissues and organs of the body. It is necessary for the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, heart and kidneys.


Fluid balance is critical to maintaining the health of every cell in your body. Electrolytes (such as potassium and sodium) are key players in maintaining this balance. Potassium is the main electrolyte inside cells, while sodium is the main electrolyte outside cells. When these two minerals are balanced, the body remains hydrated and the cells maintain their proper shape and function. It is important to maintain this balance, even for a modern diet consisting of packaged or processed foods that contains higher levels of sodium.


Potassium is found in many fruits, vegetables, dairy products, nuts, cereals, meat and fish. Because it is present in such a wide range of foods, most people who follow a healthy diet are able to meet the recommended daily intake of potassium. However, low potassium levels can have serious consequences for the kidneys, cardiovascular system and bones. When the body loses fluid, potassium is also flushed out. This means that athletes may lose more potassium by sweating, and people using certain medications, such as diuretics, may lose more potassium in their urine. For some, it may be necessary to supplement potassium to maintain a healthy level of this important nutrient.
