HOW Potassium WORKS
A restriction in sodium intake that is accompanied by increased intake of Potassium has been recommended to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular disease. High plasma sodium levels stiffen endothelial cells (cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels) and block nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, preventing circulation. On the other hand, high plasma Potassium levels soften endothelial cells and activate NO release.
