Potassium Gluconate - Nerve Transmission
Name: Potassium Gluconate - Nerve Transmission

Scientific Name:

Intro: Potassium is very important for general well-being. This essential mineral promotes muscle activity and nerve transmission. Potassium also works with Sodium to regulate the body's water balance. It is especially vital for the beating of your heart. Potassium gluconate is used to prevent or to treat potassium deficiency. Most healthy individuals get the required amounts of potassium from a healthy diet. Potassium supplementation is very specific, based upon low blood potassium levels and generally completed under medical supervision.

Name: Folic Acid

Scientific Name:

Intro: Folic acid is a member of the water-soluble B vitamin group. In the body, folic acid is converted to a more biologically active form. Like vitamin B12, folic acid is necessary for the production of both DNA and RNA.
It is therefore essential for proper cellular division and the transmission of the genetic code to all newly formed cells. It is also essential for the health of red blood cells and the production of proteins and various amino acids.

The Healthy Brain Program


The Healthy Brain Program, an initiative of the Brain Foundation, aims to assist Australians to keep their brains healthy into old age, through the provision of community education and research. The program aims to address issues such as:

People are living longer, and the prevalence of degenerative brain disorders is increasing.
There is little information available about how to keep the brain healthy compared to the wealth of information about a healthy body and heart.
There is a need for a coordinated approach to education on key indicators and risk reduction strategies.
The program aims to:

Increase community awareness of the potential for improving the long term health of the brain through lifestyle changes and risk reduction strategies.
Promote recognition of risk reduction strategies.
Motivate the attitudinal changes needed for the development of a healthy brain lifestyle.
