"Potassium is a critical mineral in human metabolism. It is the
key mineral responsible for regulating blood pressure. Research on populations that consume high levels of potassium indicates a lower incidence of hypertension. Conversely, studies with humans on a low potassium diet showed an increase in arterial blood pressure. Potassium regulates the contractions of the heart. In fact, potassium is necessary for all muscular contractions. Potassium also enhances oxygen transport to the brain.
