Potassium

Potassium is a mineral responsible for many physiological processes and is crucial for the normal functioning of the nervous system and recovery. It is important for regulating the body's water balance and controlling blood pressure. Potassium is essential for muscle and nucleic acid synthesis and also plays a role in storing glucose in glycogen reserves. For athletes, it is much more important than commonly thought, as it serves not only as an electrolyte during sweating.
