Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Potassium plays a crucial and scientifically validated role in supporting the health of the arteries and the cardiovascular system as a whole. Numerous clinical studies and meta-analyses have demonstrated that adequate dietary potassium intake helps regulate blood pressure, which in turn benefits arterial health. Potassium works primarily by counteracting the effects of sodium; it helps relax blood vessel walls and aids in excreting sodium through urine, both of which contribute to lower blood pressure. The American Heart Association and other major health organizations recommend potassium-rich diets as a strategy to reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke.

Research published in journals such as Hypertension and The New England Journal of Medicine has shown that higher potassium intake is associated with reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, potassium is essential for proper muscle function, including the smooth muscle cells in arterial walls, supporting their ability to contract and relax appropriately. Overall, the evidence for potassium’s beneficial effects on arterial health is robust, making its use for this purpose scientifically justified and strongly supported by clinical data.
