POTS 101: The Salty Series - Full Media Library πŸ§‚πŸ“š




@coscicara I know what you're thinking - "Sodium" and "salt" aren't the same thing? That's right. And if you have POTS, this matters. A lot. Salt = sodium chloride. Only about 40% of it is actual sodium. SO, when an electrolyte label says "500mg salt," you're only getting ~200mg of sodium. For POTS, we NEED sodium. Not πŸ‘ just πŸ‘ salt πŸ‘ Check your labels. Look for "sodium" specifically. It's SO easy to get this confused. I work in Sports Medicine and I still mess it up. The chronic illness learning curve is steep. Save this for your next supplement shop. πŸ”— Link in Bio for more recommendations and information #POTS #health #chronicillness #Electrolytes #Dysautonomia @VenturePal @Vitassium ♬ original sound - Red Mist
