Sodium
in bottled water is ranging up to 1200 mg/l with very view waters (Vichy
Catalan, Vichy Celeste, ..) and most waters contain below 10mg/l. The average
daily requirement of sodium is to a large extent dependent on the amount of
excretion. With particularly severe physical stress normal daily requirement
increases from approximately 3 g to 15 g and more. Sodium chloride (cooking
salt) is significantly involved in regulating water balance. It always maintains
the optimal pressure in body fluids (particularly in the blood serum) and thus
ensures tissue tension. Sodium influences the metabolism of the heart and plays
a role in co-ordination the regular contractions of the heart muscle. Under
normal living conditions and eating habits, salt or sodium deficiency is
scarcely possible nowadays: salt is an integral part of numerous foodstuffs,
especially processed foodstuffs.
Less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving, and no sodium chloride (NaCl) in
ingredients Very Low Sodium - 35 milligrams of sodium (or less) per serving Low
Sodium - 140 milligrams of sodium (or less) per serving Reduced or Less Sodium.
