What is Potassium?
Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte found in fruit, vegetables, beans and dairy. The body uses it for normal everyday function.
Why does it show up in memory and focus supplements?
Potassium is a familiar electrolyte, so it shows up in many liquid and drink-style formulas as a supporting ingredient.
What does the research say?
General background is available from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on potassium. Research on this ingredient in finished supplements is limited, and nothing here suggests it improves memory on its own or treats memory loss, dementia, depression or any other condition.
Potassium in Cognivex
The seller names potassium but does not publish an amount per serving, so check the Supplement Facts panel for the amount per serving. See the full ingredients page and check your bottle's label.
Safety considerations
People with kidney disease, and those taking ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics or other medicines that affect potassium, should ask a healthcare professional before using any potassium-containing supplement.
