Arginates are mineral transporters where a mineral is bound to the amino acid arginine. Arginate mineral transporters can penetrate the cell membrane and enter the cytoplasm of the cell. In the process of metabolism, of the arginine component of the transporter, the minerals are released inside the cell. Potassium is the most abundant intracellular mineral with 98 to 99% found inside of the cells. Potassium is an essential mineral with the average intake between 4 – 5 grams a day and it is found in high concentrations in citrus fruits, bananas, green vegetables, dairy, grains, and coffee. Individuals, who ingest diuretics, have diarrhea and vomiting and who consume excessive amounts of sugar and alcohol are at greater risk of potassium deficiency.
Potassium is required for carbohydrate and protein metabolism, acid-base balance, nerve conduction and cardiac conduction. Symptoms of potassium deficiency include, but are not limited to: weakness, fatigue, constipation, fluid accumulation, acid-base disturbances, depression, numerous metabolic disturbances and muscle cramps.
