Potassium

Potassium is one of the more important nutrients that the body relies on. It plays a vital role in hydration of all things in the body. Many processes in the body cannot take place without proper fluid control to all areas. In a time of dehydration, potassium adjusts to help support all of the vital processes that take place. It keeps all parts of our muscles, skeleton and nervous system flowing together smoothly. This plays a critical role in many healing processes, especially the role of feeling comfortable and stable during the healing process.
