I read an article by WebMD about the importance of getting enough potassium in your diet daily. The article stated that Potassium is a mineral and electrolyte that is essential for the body to function properly. Potassium is a mineral that helps your cells work the right way. It helps make the electricity that lets your cells do their jobs. Your nerves and muscles — including your heart — might not work the way they should if you don’t get enough. The average adult needs about 4700 milligrams per day. When I realized the importance of potassium in the diet, I started researching foods and supplements with high levels of potassium. I found Dr. Berg’s Electrolyte Powder had great reviews, so I tried it.
