It's a bit under 1% (about 0.9% is often quoted). Sea water is now almost 4% salt (something like 3.9%, though it varies from place to place). It has been pointed out that the percentage of salt in human blood is the same as the percentage of salt in seawater at the time the earliest life on earth was developing.

Around 7%

There's enough blood in the human body to fill a bit more than a 1-gallon milk jug.

The average adult has about 1.2 to 1.5 gallons (4.5 to 5.5 liters) of blood circulating inside their body, said Dr. Daniel Landau, a hematologist and oncologist at the University of Florida Cancer Center - Orlando Health.

If you had no blood, you'd weigh 8 to 10 percent less.

0% since Na+ is only used for the Sodium- potassium pumps in the body and is not part of the body
