About this ingredient
Sodium Chloride (NaCl), commonly known as salt, is an inorganic mineral compound made from sodium and chloride. Both sodium and chloride are important electrolytes that help maintain fluid balance and support normal nerve and muscle function. Sodium Chloride is commonly found in foods, electrolyte formulations, hydration products, and nutritional supplements. It may also be used in medical preparations for fluid and electrolyte replacement. Because excessive sodium intake can contribute to increased blood pressure in some people, appropriate intake is important.
