Re: ALL: Sodium Levels

I agree with Onwards - I've tried for years to increase my sodium using salt alone and it didn't work.

I've been using glandulars for a while now but only 1 tablet a day. The 1 tablet a day didn't seem to help at all. I'm trying to increase this now but haven't had my levels checked since increasing them.

I don't know if this is a good idea or not but this website says you can increase your sodium with Choline Bitartrate: http://www.acu-cell.com/dis-mus.html

"While using extra salt would work for many individuals, it generally does not prevent muscle spasms with low-aldosterone types (whose sodium levels are chronically low - even with high sodium intake), so supplementssuch as Choline Bitartrate are indicated instead to raise sodium levels, which in time will lower magnesium and thus correct an individual's calcium / magnesium ratio also. "


I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it works? And this was specifically suggested for those who are trying to lower their magnesium levels. So if you aren't trying to do that, you would need to supplement with magnesium simultaneously.
