How it works
Potassium helps the kidneys excrete sodium and relaxes blood vessel walls, directly counteracting the hypertensive effects of excess sodium.
Those with kidney disease or taking ACE inhibitors/ARBs should consult a doctor before significantly increasing potassium intake.
Multiple studies show increased potassium intake reduces systolic BP by 3–5 mmHg. Effect is amplified with concurrent sodium restriction.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
