text: Potassium is necessary for the heart , kidneys , and other organs to work normally.
text: Potassium is needed for cells to function properly.
text: The discovery by Justus Liebig in 1840 that potassium is a necessary element for plants and that most types of soil lack potassium caused a steep rise in demand for potassium salts.
text: Potassium is a necessary electrolyte used for the proper function of metabolism, heart rate, regulation of muscle tissue and digestion.
text: Potassium is also a necessary nutrient for life; as an electrolyte, it conducts electric signals in the body; along with sodium, it's crucial for proper muscle contraction.
text: It is a necessary component in all cells, tissues and organs.
text: Potassium is important for good body health and is necessary for the heart, kidneys and other organs to work well together.
text: Since potassium is not stored in the body, it is necessary to continually replace this nutrient on a regular basis with potassium-rich foods.
text: While potassium is necessary, high levels of it has many side effects that can lead to several life-threatening conditions, including heart failure and renal failure.
text: As an electrolyte, potassium is necessary to regulate the electrochemical balance across cell membranes that allows nerve cells to transmit impulses and muscles to contract.
text: Potassium is also necessary in order to maintain normal water transport between the cells and body fluids.
text: The electrochemical gradient of potassium between the intracellular and extracellular space is essential for nerve function; in particular, potassium is needed to repolarize the cell membrane to a resting state after an action potential has passed.
