Potassium is the primary electrolyte inside your cells, working in balance with sodium outside them. That sodium-potassium gradient drives nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and fluid balance, all of which get harder to maintain when food, and the electrolytes that come with it, are off the table.
Potassium helps support
Supports muscle and nerve function*
Balances fluids alongside sodium*
Helps prevent cramps during a fast*
How it works
Potassium and sodium sit on opposite sides of the cell membrane; the pump that maintains that gradient is behind nearly every nerve impulse and muscle contraction. Keeping potassium topped up supports steady signaling when a fast draws minerals down.
