Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen Contains Potassium (K)

(*) See References and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Our Freeze Dried Rich Pericarp Mangosteen contains potassium, which is vital for good health and nutrition(1*). Deficiency in potassium can lead to decreased tolerance to glucose along with weakened insulin secretion, urinary ammonium wasting, and weakness in the respiratory system(2*).

Potassium and sodium work together to sustain the balance of water in the body, which may explain the ability of potassium to guard against high blood pressure(3*). Potassium can expel sodium from the body(4*), which may lower blood pressure. Following this logic, high blood pressure may result if your body has a lot of sodium and less potassium.

Prolonged strenuous exercise may lead to potassium depletion(5*), cardiovascular irregularities, and muscle cramping(6*). However, there would have to be severe depletion for cardiovascular issues to arise(7*). Muscle cramping, on the other hand, can happen when there are relativity higher amounts of potassium still available for use. For this reason, those who engage in prolonged and strenuous exercise and who experience muscle cramps should consider supplementation with potassium(8*).
