A member asked:

How does sodium chloride affect bone health?

Dr. Jason Boyer answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

It doesn't: Sodium chloride in solid form is table salt. In solution form, we call it slain which is often used in surgeries because it can keep the bones moist without causing damage.
