Potassium

💎 What is Potassium?

Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that helps support fluid balance, muscle function, nerve signaling, and overall energy. It works closely with sodium to maintain cellular balance.
Someone may show lower potassium-related wellness patterns if intake, retention, or electrolyte balance is not optimal.

🤔 Why Might Someone Show Low Potassium Wellness Patterns?

This wellness test does not diagnose clinical defences. Possible reasons someone may show lower wellness patterns related to potassium include:

• Lower intake of potassium-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

• Electrolyte imbalance, especially when sodium intake is high.

• Higher individual demand, such as during intense activity, heat exposure, or stress.

• General losses, such as sweating or lifestyle factors that affect hydration.

• Digestive or absorption factors that may influence how well minerals are used.

These are general wellness considerations, not clinical findings.

🛠️ Supportive Wellness Steps

Supportive wellness steps may include:

• 🍌 Adding potassium-rich whole foods — such as bananas, citrus fruits, potatoes, leafy greens, beans, and avocados.

• 💧 Staying consistently hydrated — supports electrolyte movement and balance.

• ⚖️ Reducing excessive sodium — helps maintain a gentler potassium–sodium ratio.

• 🥗 Prioritizing whole foods over highly processed, high-sodium foods.

• 🧘 Supporting overall balance — rest, stress management, and consistent meals.

💊 Which Supplements May Support Potassium Wellness Patterns?

(Supportive general wellness tools some people use - not medical advice.)

• Potassium (citrate, chloride, or gluconate) — supports general electrolyte wellness.

• Magnesium — works with potassium for muscle and nerve balance.

• B-complex vitamins — support energy pathways where electrolytes are used.

• Vitamin C — supports general mineral balance and wellness.

🌟 Why Might Potassium Show Low Patterns but Other Minerals Look Normal?

• Consuming fewer potassium-rich whole foods compared with other minerals.

• Higher sodium intake may shift the potassium–sodium balance.

• Hydration patterns may influence potassium more than other minerals.

• Exercise, heat exposure, or stress may uniquely affect potassium usage.

• Individual metabolism varies — certain minerals are used or stored differently.

🚫 Foods Some People Choose to Limit if Potassium Patterns Are Low

(Not “bad” foods — just less supportive for potassium wellness patterns)

• Highly processed, high-sodium foods

• Excess caffeine

• Alcohol

• Refined sugars and ultra-processed snacks
