Sodium (Na⁺)

Sodium is essential for the exchange of water between the cells and the intercellular medium. It is also important for the working of muscles, enabling contraction.

Together with chlorine , sodium forms our normal salt, used to spice up our regular diet. To determine the amount of salt in a water it is not sufficient to measure the sodium content, but also the amount of chlorine. While too much salt is unhealthy, none at all can lead to serious malfunction in our body as well.

Sort all waters by Sodium.
