Sodium

What is sodium?
Sodium is an essential dietary mineral and electrolyte. It is one of the main components of the fluids inside our bodies and plays a vital role, helping carry nutrients to cells. Sodium is necessary for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions.
Why do people need to watch how much sodium they consume?
Consuming too much sodium may lead to high blood pressure or hypertension. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans issued by the U.S. Health and Human Services agency recommend that the general population consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day - or approximately 1 tsp of salt. For specific populations (i.e., African-Americans, people over 51 years of age, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease) the 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend that sodium be limited to 1,500 mg per day. For more information about recommended sodium intake, check with your nutritionist or health care provider.
Is there a lot of sodium in the beverages you make?
Most of our beverages meet the standards set by the U.S Food & Drug Association (FDA) for a low sodium or very low sodium food. A 12-ounce can of soda typically contains between 30 and 70 mg of sodium - compared to 145 mg of sodium in a typical slice of bread. By design, sports drinks and other electrolyte-replacement beverages contain higher levels of sodium, to help balance the body's electrolytes. For example, Gatorade contains about 110 mg of sodium per 8-ounce serving.
How do I know how much sodium is in your beverages?
The amount of sodium in our beverages is listed in the Nutrition Facts Panel. You can also see sodium amounts and comparisons with other food and beverages in the Sodium Comparison chart.
Are there times when consuming sodium is helpful?
If you engage in strenuous physical activity or live in a hot climate and spend lots of time outside, your body can quickly deplete its supply of sodium and other electrolytes. This can hinder both the absorption of water and the production of sweat - natural processes that are needed to keep your body from overheating. You can help prevent these symptoms by consuming sports drinks like Gatorade that contain sodium and other electrolytes.
