How much Sodium should you take?
SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.
- Zone 10 to 150 mg per dayLow dose
- Zone 2150 to 300 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
- Zone 3300 to 500 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
- Zone 4500 to 700 mg per dayTherapeutic dose
Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
