Product Information
Electrolyte balance can be an important issue in a number of
situations, as well as in the elderly. Particular attention needs to be
paid to calcium and magnesium levels. Calcium and magnesium play
important roles in maintaining normal bone metabolism in the aging
population, and both have links to electrolyte balance.* Maintaining a
proper balance of potassium and magnesium is especially important in
these circumstances.*
Both potassium and magnesium are essential
for maintaining normal muscle contractility, already normal blood
pressure, and proper nerve conduction.* Potassium-Magnesium Aspartate
offers these two important intracellular minerals in one capsule. In
addition, aspartate chelates can provide relief of fatigue.*

INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS
Several
prescription medications can induce potassium depletion, including
aspirin, laxatives, trisalicylate (a pain medication), colchicine,
corticosteroids, non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as thiazide
diuretics), and sodium bicarbonate.
The botanical Glycyrrhiza glabra
can result in potassium loss. Although it more commonly occurs with
long-term use of more than one gram glycyrrhizin daily, some individuals
can experience signs of potassium loss with lower amounts.
ACE
inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium
retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium
supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing
diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be
undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the
body.
OTHER WARNINGS
Gas, bloating, or diarrhea may occur in
some individuals taking magnesium supplements. This can occur at varying
amounts depending on the individual and resolves when the amount is
reduced.
