K Bind Powder 15gm

Product Highlights

✔ Effectively reduces high potassium levels in the blood
✔ Useful in kidney-related conditions like renal failure or dialysis
✔ Suitable for use in adults and children under medical supervision
✔ Works by binding excess potassium in the intestine and eliminating it via stool

Product Introduction

K Bind Powder contains Calcium Polystyrene Sulphonate, an ion exchange resin used to treat hyperkalemia, a condition of elevated potassium levels in the blood commonly seen in kidney dysfunction. It helps the body eliminate excess potassium by exchanging calcium ions with potassium in the large intestine, which is then passed out with stools.

Key Benefits

🌟 Reduces High Potassium: Binds excess potassium in the gut for elimination
🌟 Kidney-Friendly Action: Beneficial in renal failure, dialysis, anuria, or oliguria
🌟 Improves Heart Rhythm: Helps prevent irregular heartbeat and muscle cramps linked to hyperkalemia

How It Works

K Bind Powder works by releasing calcium ions in the digestive system, which get exchanged for free potassium ions in the large intestine. These potassium ions are then excreted with the stool, effectively lowering blood potassium levels.
