Potassium works with sodium to maintain the water balance of the body and to aid the functioning of nerves and muscles. Other functions include sending oxygen to the brain and helping with clear thinking. Helps to lower blood pressure, may be used for allergy therapies, and helps the body to dispose of wastes. Hypoglycemia, diuretics, long fasts, and diarrhea may all contribute to the loss of potassium from the body.
