Sodium is widely known to the general public as salt, which is a common misconception. Salt = sodium chloride, which is typically made up of 40% sodium and 60% chloride. Now that we have that cleared up; What is sodium?

One way to help prevent cramps is through proper sodium intake. Have the right mix of minerals to work together in the body can also affect other areas of the body such as the brain. Working with other minerals, sodium also improves brain function.
