What is the Nutrient That Research Shows Only 3% of Americans Meet Daily Recommendation for?

Did you guess Potassium? Research shows that Only 3% of Americans meet the daily potassium target! 1

What we need potassium for?
Our bodies do not make potassium on its own so we must get it through our diet. It plays many roles including:
Helps with digestion and metabolism
Manages blood sugar
Promotes bone health
Stimulates brain function
Balances our body fluids

Potassium acts as an electrolyte so it helps maintain important bodily functions including:
Blood pressure
Muscle contractions
Nerve impulses
Digestion
pH balance
Heart rhythm

What works synergistically with potassium?
Potassium teams up with other nutrients in order to ensure they are both being absorbed by your body these nutrients include:
Magnesium
Calcium
Sodium
Without the adequate levels of those then you won’t properly absorb potassium. Potassium works synergistically with these things in order maintain the important bodily functions above that we discussed

I always encourage getting your nutrients from sources that contain everything that works synergistically as nature intended (thus unless there is a specific need for taking isolated potassium – under the supervision of your provider – I don’t encourage that)

So what are some ways to get more potassium?
Now I’m sure you all know and think of potassium coming from bananas but there are other great sources of potassium including:
Avocados
Broccoli
Leafy greens
Salmon
Aside from foods trace mineral drops contain all of the things that work synergistically with potassium in order to properly absorb and utilize it.
