I mean apart from what the bottle promotes which is vascular health and circulation, what is it good for? I saw somewhere that it is good to dry up mucus. Is this true? I have horrible nasal congestion after a cold and it doesnt go away with anything. Does anyone know if this will help?
I looked up dispirin and it just comes up as being aspirin….. how is aspirin good for mucus?

Potassium is vital for the human body to function properly… But unless your doctor has specifically prescribed potassium supplements to you, I strongly suggest you do not take them.. Too much potassium can overwork the heart and result in damage to the heart or even heart attack..
*And never have more that 4 bananas in a day… this will cause the same issues as the potassium supplements, due to too much potassium in your system..
For the Nasal congestion.. Try to get Vicks Vapour rub, or some other strong eukalyptis decongestant and boil some hot water pour it into a bowl and add a table spoon of the vicks.. put a towel over your head and the bowl and take deep breaths in through your nose.. that will clear you up. And keep your fluids up, eat red meat & fruits n veges and make sure you get enough sleep…
Get well soon.
dont take potassium supplements unless you have a deficiency and your doctor told you too. its an important electrolyte and it can cause a lot of harm if it gets way out of whack. and no it probably wont do anything for a cold.
take dispirin 500mg tablet
Too much potassium can stop your heart. What do you think they put in lethal injections. potassium will not help congestion. Try mucinex
