What the AI looks for in Sodium Mineral Supplements
- Match sodium to sweat
- High-sodium products suit prolonged heavy sweating. Most people eating a typical diet already exceed sodium guidance. Extra sodium is only useful when losses are high or a doctor advises it.
- Sugar content
- Choose sugar-free for daily or low-carb use; carbohydrate-containing mixes for long workouts. Sugar helps fluid absorption during exercise but adds calories at rest.
- Medical salt loading
- Use for conditions like POTS only under clinician-set targets. Dosing needs to be individual.
Brands that matter
- LMNT: High-sodium, sugar-free mix.
- SaltStick: Capsules and chews for endurance athletes.
- Liquid I.V.: Sugar-containing hydration mix.
What to avoid
- High-sodium mixes as an everyday drink if you're sedentary
- Salt tablets without enough water
