Try a vitamin shop. I've seen them at Vitamin Shoppe (chain name.) Your compounding pharmacist is smart.. since table salt IS sodium chloride. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 You should use pickling salt to avoid overdosing on iodine - unless you want to become hyperthyroid. > >My comp. pharm mentioned filling these with salt > >to save money instead of him making me sodium > >chloride pills to raise my BP - where do you get these??? > > Try a vitamin shop.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Sea salt is about 85% sodium chloride and it contains nearly no iodine. It would work fine, but for raising blood pressure, pure sodium chloride would be better. Most of the 15% of sea salt that is not sodium chloride is from potassium salts. Potassium aids the elimination of excess sodium, so that may not be the ideal thing here. If you use iodized salt as a condiment, you don't need to take it in your capsules. If you only use sea salt, then maybe a half capsule of iodized salt occasionally would be a good idea. I remember seeing salt/dextrose pills in an outdoor store once upon a time. Maybe that would be easier to deal with?? > > > >My comp. pharm mentioned filling these with salt > > > >to save money instead of him making me sodium > > > >chloride pills to raise my BP - where do you get these??? > > > > > > Try a vitamin shop.

Maybe that would be easier to deal with?? The dextrose they use may not be pure dextrose. Technically, dextrose is a monosaccharide, and legal. In practice, what is sold has dextrose (and fructose and other sugars) may be a mix of sugars, many of which may be di- or trisaccharides. This is why they are not recommended. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
