Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body (calcium and phosphorus are the most abundant). Moreover, potassium is one of the major electrolytes in the body, along with sodium and chloride.
Electrolytes are electrically charged mineral ions that are critical to proper fluid balance in the body. They are needed to regulate blood pressure and muscle contraction and relaxation; they are also key to the proper functioning of nerves and kidneys. In fact, these three electrolytes together are important to every single chemical process in the body.
Potassium also aids in converting blood sugar into glycogen.
