Potassium, classified as an essential mineral, functions as an electrolyte, which means it transmits the tiny electrical impulses between nerves. In the heart, potassium keeps your heart beating rhythmically. Your body must maintain its potassium level within a narrow range to keep cells, nerves, muscles and the heart functioning properly. Too little potassium in your blood can contribute to a heart attack, but too much potassium, such as what can occur when taking potassium chloride supplements can also affect heart function and lead to a heart attack.

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
Salt substitute.
Potassium chloride is used in some salt substitutes as a way to reduce sodium, a major cause of high blood pressure and heart disease and strokes. No-Salt salt substitute consists entirely of potassium chloride, while Morton's Lite Salt is half potassium chloride and half sodium chloride. The amount of potassium chloride used in foods is almost self-limiting, because most people perceive potassium chloride to taste extremely bitter. This additive is safe, but people with kidney disease and certain heart conditions need to talk to their doctors about avoiding large amounts.
Potassium Chloride: A source of potassium, which is a mineral that is essential for the correct functioning of cells in the body. It is responsible for maintaining the acid base balance in the body.
