A member asked:
I am recovering from a potassium deficiency. i would get symptomatic from small amounts of sodium. how do i know how much sodium i can have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2500 mg per day: In general, limiting sodium to 2.5 grams per day is a safe range. If playing sports, you will need more. Low potassium is a diagnosis that requires a close f/u with your doc.
