Potassium is a mineral your body uses as an electrolyte, which means it carries an electrical charge. Potassium and other electrolytes--including sodium, phosphate, calcium and chlorine--are present in your blood and other bodily fluids. Your kidneys excrete these minerals from your body to maintain the correct balance.
Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have an electric charge. They are in your blood, urine and body fluids. Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes helps your body's blood chemistry, muscle action and other processes. Sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate and magnesium are all electrolytes. You get them from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink. Levels of electrolytes in your body can become too low or too high. That can happen when the amount of water in your body changes, causing dehydration or overhydration.
