Warnings:
- Overdose Risk: Excessive potassium or magnesium can lead to hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia, causing nausea, weakness, or irregular heartbeat.
- Drug Interactions: May interact with diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or medications for kidney issues.
- Kidney Concerns: Individuals with kidney disease should monitor intake carefully, as improper excretion can lead to toxicity.
Active Compounds:
- Potassium Ions (K⁺): Essential for nerve signaling, muscle function, and maintaining cellular homeostasis.
- Magnesium Ions (Mg²⁺): Crucial for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those for energy production, DNA synthesis, and nerve signaling.
- Magnesium-Potassium Synergy: Combined, these ions improve cardiovascular and neuromuscular health, ensuring proper cellular function.
