Potassic is the antagonist to natrium. It regulates water balance, acid/base balance, nerve impulse propagation, muscle contraction, membrane potential (electrical tension at the cell membrane). Many cell enzyme systems depend on it.

Reasons for disturbances in the potassic balance:

* not-balanced diet
* losses when cooking (washing, heat)
* big amounts of alcohol
* big amounts table salt <--- !!!
* magnesium deficit <--- !!!
* flesh burn, injuries
* stress
* throwing up, looseness
* kidney or liver diseases
* misuse of evacuant
* meds for drainage

Consequences:

* often unspecific...
* tiredness
* costiveness
* dizziness
* amyasthenia
* increased heartbeat freq or non-cadenced
* lowered blood pressure or blood sugar
* mood fluctuation
* glycogen depots mobilization can be impacted

Recommended daily dose: 4-5g / day

adequate supply can be achieved with fresh food

[...]
deficit can lead to muscle cramps. Sweating increases deficit. Heavy training can lead to loss of 10g/day
[...]
Overdose can lead to non-cadenced heartbeat, adynamia, anxiety, low blood pressure, distraction, nubmness in feet/hands. Rare cases of looseness, throwing up. Persons with heart- or kidney diseases should only take potassic under supervision.
