Sodium health

Sodium is the major positively charged ion in blood and body fluids. The average adult body contains about 90 g of sodium. More than half of this is in the fluids that bathe the cells, about one-third is in the bones, enmeshed in the crystals of insoluble bone minerals, and some is retained within the cells.

Benefits

In addition to its functions as an electrolyte, sodium is also a component of ATPase, an enzyme involved in the production of energy. It is necessary for the transport of amino acids and glucose into body cells.
