The Importance of Potassium By Hans R. Larsen MSc ChE Important: Please read this entire report before acting on its findings Potassium is fairly abundant in the body with a total content of about 135 grams (3500 mmol). Most, 98% to be exact, is found inside the cells, while the remaining 2% or about 2700 mg is found outside the cells, more specifically in blood serum. Blood serum
