potassium is an intra cellular in abundance, at least, it's an intra cellular ion. So if you have problems with either too much intake or not enoughxet do you mean intake into the body? Y i k, not the cell, not the cel ik, that's going to cause a problem. Or you've got a distribution issues. This means you're either moving too much potassium into the cell, which would cause a person to become hypo calemic and hypercalemia. Yet, well, you can have hypo calemia yet have too much potassium in the body because it's locked in the cell. And so this is why the potassium concentrations are tricky, real
In this BIG episode, Dr Matt & Dr Mike discuss electrolytes and ions! They explain what important roles substances like sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Calcium (Ca2+), and Magnesium (Mg2+) play in the body!What happens when we have too much or too little??
