A member asked:
Is the sodium in branch chain amino acid drinks bad if your watching your blood pressure?

It depends: It all depends on the sodium content, you should aim for a 2000 mg sodium diet, you can can that just by eating regular unsalted foods. Look at the sodium content per serving size and calculate your daily intake.

Sodium in amino acid: No, not at all. Natural sodium is not unhealthy.
