Potassium-Magnesium

Alternate Names: K-Mg, Magnesium Potassium Complex

Chart of Uses:

Use Description Index
Electrolyte Balance Maintains fluid balance and nerve signaling
Muscle Function Supports muscle contraction and prevents cramps
Heart Health Regulates heartbeat and reduces risk of arrhythmias
Bone Health Contributes to bone density and prevents mineral loss
Energy Production Aids in ATP production and cellular energy processes
Blood Pressure Regulation Helps lower high blood pressure and improves circulation

Warnings:

  1. Overdose Risk: Excessive potassium or magnesium can lead to hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia, causing nausea, weakness, or irregular heartbeat.
  2. Drug Interactions: May interact with diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or medications for kidney issues.
  3. Kidney Concerns: Individuals with kidney disease should monitor intake carefully, as improper excretion can lead to toxicity.

Active Compounds:

  1. Potassium Ions (K⁺): Essential for nerve signaling, muscle function, and maintaining cellular homeostasis.
  2. Magnesium Ions (Mg²⁺): Crucial for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those for energy production, DNA synthesis, and nerve signaling.
  3. Magnesium-Potassium Synergy: Combined, these ions improve cardiovascular and neuromuscular health, ensuring proper cellular function.
