We investigated the qualities of faba bean blanching water, especially its potential effects on cholesterol levels. This study showed that the processing water, packed with protein and minerals, especially potassium, might have cholesterol-lowering abilities due to its inhibitory effects on HMG-CoA reductase—a key enzyme in cholesterol production. The results were promising, indicating around 67% inhibition of this enzyme, which could benefit those looking to manage cholesterol without extensive dietary changes. Overall, faba bean blanching water can be a sustainable option with health perks.

It is essential for every home with an elderly person or someone with high cholesterol. I’m grateful to my father for highlighting his condition. I measure his pressure and when it's high, he takes two potassium tablets and drinks two cups of water. His pressure decreases naturally without needing to visit a hospital.

Gitelman syndrome impacts infant development
We examined a unique case of an 18-month-old boy diagnosed with Gitelman syndrome, a rare condition leading to developmental delays.
His symptoms included psychomotor retardation and low potassium levels. Genetic tests confirmed mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, responsible for this condition.
After oral potassium supplementation, we observed remarkable improvement in his potassium levels and developmental progress. This case highlights the importance of recognizing Gitelman syndrome in young children with growth and developmental issues, as early treatment can lead to positive outcomes.

Muscle cramps relieved
Most Useful Review
Our muscle strength, as well as the health of the nervous system and heart, relies on adequate potassium levels. Previously, I experienced muscle cramps, but after completing a course of potassium, those cramps vanished, and I no longer suffer from chronic fatigue.

Potassium treatment aids neuron recovery
We explored how a specific potassium channel opener, Retigabine, impacts thalamic neuron functionality in autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a model for Multiple Sclerosis. In the study, we created localized inflammatory lesions in the brains of mice to mimic the disease effects.
By testing Retigabine, we observed its potential to improve neuron excitability and information processing in these affected areas. The results indicate that this treatment might effectively reduce the adverse effects of inflammation on the brain, supporting its role as a neuroprotective agent.

This potassium supplement is vital for maintaining sodium-potassium balance and optimal intracellular pressure. I ordered it for my husband and friend. It helped her husband regulate his high pulse, and my friend's puffiness reduced. I take potassium on bathing days or after strenuous cardio, as it helps maintain acid-base balance. The tablets last a long time, so they are a staple in our medicine cabinet. Wishing everyone good health!

This supplement is vital for homes with elderly or hypertensive individuals. I’m thankful my father highlighted its benefits for high blood pressure. When it's elevated, I administer two potassium pills and water, which lowers the pressure naturally, avoiding the need for emergency medical assistance related to food poisoning.

We explored the potential connection between dietary potassium intake and the occurrence of severe headaches or migraines. Utilizing data from over 10,000 US adults gathered through a national health survey from 1999 to 2004, we conducted a thorough analysis.
While we found that higher potassium intake was linked to a lower likelihood of migraines, the relationship appeared to be L-shaped, suggesting that there might be an optimal level of intake rather than a straightforward benefit. There's no strong evidence that potassium dramatically decreases headache frequency, but it does seem to play a role worth noting.

We explored the potential of ICA-105574, an HERG activator, to combat severe mutations that cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Using both animal models and cellular simulations, we found that ICA-105574 effectively shortened QT intervals and restored critical potassium currents in cellular models with specific HERG mutations. Our results indicate that compounds like ICA-105574 could be valuable in treating LQT2, and that advanced simulations can aid in designing future HERG activators.

Potassium is essential for those prone to leg cramps in the pool. It supports the brain, strengthens the heart muscle, and enhances muscle elasticity. After experiencing heart pain due to a hangover, I found bananas or potassium tablets helpful. For active individuals losing potassium through sweat, this is a must-have. I prefer this brand despite higher prices in Moscow. Love it!

We examined whether activating M-type potassium channels in the left stellate ganglion could help manage heart issues during acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). In our study involving beagles, some received an M-channel activator called retigabine before inducing AMI.
The results were promising—we noticed that retigabine reduced excessive sympathetic activity, leading to fewer arrhythmias. Moreover, it allowed for better heart rhythm stability and increased resistance to ventricular fibrillation compared to those who did not receive treatment. These insights suggest that targeting M-channels could be a valuable approach in reducing heart rhythm disturbances during ischemic events.

Riluzole effectively reduces bone pain
We explored whether riluzole could help ease bone pain caused by prostate cancer. Using a mouse model that mimicked human bone cancer pain, we treated some mice with riluzole while others were not.
Our findings indicated that riluzole significantly reduced pain sensitivity without hindering cancer progression or bone health. This treatment seems effective in offering relief from unpleasant pain sensations associated with bone metastases.

I bought potassium to reduce puffiness in my legs. After a week of taking it, the volume of my legs has significantly decreased. The swelling has completely disappeared. I'm pleased! I'll continue to purchase this potassium. Personally, I experienced no side effects or negativity from it. Thanks to the IHerb team.
