Do they recommend salt tablets for dehydration?

Answer 1

No. Salt tablets are extremely difficult to calculate for the correct amount. It is much better to stabilize sodium loss of the body through food or sodium containing sports drink. Too much sodium via excessive salt intake through a miscalculation in the amount of salt tablet taken could actually exacerbate the dehydration problem.

You need to talk to a doctor, I was told I need them as I am not sodium Sensitive as is 75% of Americans it will not affect me negatively but few years back my heart nearly stopped beating due to heat stroke brought on by Salt free diet I tried. By that I mean just the normal thing No table Salt, Low salt beacon ect... I Was told by the Doctor that no salt Diet had nearly killed me, as in they were charging a Defibrillator. See a Doctor before Playing one. I was told I need a very large amount salt in my diet but only if I like to stay alive. For me there in a practical sense is simply no unsafe amount but for anther 2 Salt tablets might make you very ill. But if you feel cramps when its hot out Talk to a doctor and see whats right amount for you. DRA advisory are less than useless in regards to Salt and Potassium intake are to varied by lot factors including were you were born and the weather of your childhood more so than race. Its simply to varied by individual need so talk to a Doctor before using a salt supplement or as I stupidly did Changing your Diet to Salt free.
