Potassium

Potassium (K) is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than any other mineral element except N and, in some cases, Ca. Potassium is supplied to plants by soil minerals, organic materials, and inorganic fertilizer. Due to the highly weathered status of Florida soils, their K supplying power is quite low in most cases. Potassium occurs in the soil solution as a monovalent cation (K ⁺). The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil controls the retention of K ⁺ and in very sandy soils (low cation exchange capacity) under high rainfall, K is subject to leaching losses.

Potassium, unlike N and P, is not found in organic combination with plant tissues. Potassium plays an essential role in the metabolic processes of plants and is required in adequate amounts in several enzymatic reactions, particularly those involving the adenosine phosphates (ATP and ADP), which are the energy carriers in the metabolic processes of both plants and animals. Potassium also is essential in carbohydrate metabolism, a process by which energy is obtained from sugar. There is evidence that K also plays a role in photosynthesis and protein synthesis.

DIUPLEX™ is a natural herbal formula that contains synergistic nutrients for the urinary system including Vitamin B-6, Potassium and Magnesium. Excess fluid storage in the body can result in swelling or edema and can even lead to high blood pressure. This fluid build-up can develop in both men and women at any time but is especially noticeable in women consistent with their monthly cycles. Making sure that fluid build-up is prevented is helpful for many people on weight loss programs. The use of DIUPLEX can help eliminate excess fluid from the body. This great formula contains added potassium to replace what may be eliminated when lots of fluids are eliminated from the body over a period of time. Vitamin B-6 and Magnesium are synergistic with the natural herbs supporting the natural elimination of fluids. The special herbs in DIUPLEX have been used for many years because of their natural herbal diuretic properties.

WATER RETENTION
Adepoise (fat) tissue retains water and its reduction naturally assists excess water elimination. This is a natural and beneficial cleansing that can be supported by taking DIUPLEX. The kidneys do not actually eliminate water but they do eliminate sodium. When the sodium is transported by the kidneys, it is followed by water and thus diuresis occurs. When tissues retain too much water, it can create hydrostatic pressure that works against the blood vessels making it harder for efficient circulation to occur. This can cause elevated blood pressure and be responsible for an increased work load on the heart. DIUPLEX contains herbs that have been used for years for their natural diuretic effect. DIUPLEX provides a gentle, yet reliable diuretic effect.

Suggested Use:
Two to three tablets once or twice a day, preferably in the morning and not later than mid-day.

Contains no preservatives, sugar, starch, salt, wheat, yeast, corn, milk, soy derivatives, artificial flavoring or coloring agents.

HERBALS
Herbs have been used since creation to provide for our health and well being, for entire civilizations for that matter. The Bible tells us that we were given herbs for healing and cites many examples of their usage. Main stream modern technology is now finally beginning to focus on herbs and natural plant therapies. This is usually referred to in the literature today as phytotherapy. We probably will never understand many of the secrets regarding how many natural extracts and concentrates work, but that is no reason to not take advantage of their benefits now.

To our knowledge, Life Plus is the only company that manufactures and distributes the unique kinds of herbal based products we do by combining high quality herbs from all over the world with other synergistic nutrients known to work toward the same specific nutritional goals. These other synergistic nutrients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, bioflavonoids, phytonutrients, antioxidants and, at times, concentrated tissue nutrients. By combining modern technology with classical herbal knowledge, the Life Plus herbal based products are second to none anywhere in the world.

FLUID RETENTION
Consistent use of DIUPLEX may result in frequent elimination of water from the body. When the tissues retain too much water, it can create hydrostatic pressure that works against the blood vessels making it harder for efficient circulation to occur. This can cause elevated blood pressure and be an increased work load on the heart.

For efficient weight loss to occur, the constant flushing of water from the body is necessary. Adepoise (fat) tissue retains water and its reduction naturally assists excess water elimination. This is a natural and beneficial cleansing action that can be supported by taking DIUPLEX while dieting.

The kidneys do not actually eliminate water but they do eliminate sodium. When the sodium is transported by the kidneys, it is followed by water and thus diuresis occurs.

However, because Potassium is chemically very similar to sodium in certain ways, the kidneys sometimes perceive Potassium to be sodium and it is eliminated instead of the sodium. When excess Potassium is eliminated, a feeling of tiredness is often experienced. Quite often, doctors prescribe high powered potassium salts to counteract this. Then, they often discover that Potassium products that are commonly used have a tendency to irritate the digestive tract and can actually go so far as to cause duodenal ulcers.

THE DIUPLEX DIFFERENCE
The Life Plus DIUPLEX formula contains a small amount of Potassium in each tablet. The small amount is not enough to cause any irritation to the intestines but it can help prevent possible depletion of Potassium from the body due to the elimination of water. In addition, the Potassium in DIUPLEX is in the form of a chelate, which is much more gentle on the digestive tract.

A full 50 mg of Vitamin B-6 is included because of its natural diuretic effect when taken in this quantity. However, it should be taken with Magnesium for best results.

DIUPLEX also contains six different herbs including Buchu Leaves, Couch Grass, Corn Silk, Hydrangia Root, Uva Ursi and Peppermint. These herbs have been used for many years for their natural diuretic effect. This well liked product does not produce a strong "drug-like" effect that can be associated with unwanted side effects. Instead, it provides a gentle, yet reliable diuretic effect.

PHYTOZYME BASE
DIUPLEX is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from plants.

When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.

HOW TO TAKE DIUPLEX
Since DIUPLEX is not a drug, but a natural product, some individuals need to take several tablets to notice its effect. However, it is usually recommended that two to three tablets be taken in the morning and at mid-day. It is not wise to take it in the afternoon as its diuretic effect may carry over for several hours into the night, which could interfere with restful sleep.
