About this ingredient
Sodium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and normal cellular function. It is naturally present in many foods and is also commonly included in electrolyte supplements and nutritional formulas. Sodium works together with other electrolytes, particularly potassium, to help maintain normal physiological functions. While sodium is essential, excessive intake may be undesirable for some people, so supplementation should follow the product label and individual nutritional needs.
