How much Sodium should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

  1. Zone 10 to 150 mg per dayLow dose
  2. Zone 2150 to 300 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
  3. Zone 3300 to 500 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
  4. 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.
