Good news for those worried about strokes, According to a new study from the BMJ (British Medical Journal), people who have a high potassium intake have a 24 per cent reduced risk of a stroke. The study highlighted the positive health benefits that increased potassium can have on an individual. Eating potassium rich foods such as bananas and nuts and seeds can reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension without having an adverse effect on the renal function in adults.

The recommended daily allowance of potassium currently stands at 3,500mg per day which can be gained from a balanced diet, although increasingly busy lives means that this is not always possible.

Nature’s Plus Potassium capsules are a simple and convenient way to reap the health benefits of potassium. Being yeast free and vegetarian means that they are suitable for everyone to take and with a concentration of 99mg per capsule, they are the perfect way to top up your potassium levels.
