I high dose iodine, taking it with magnesium every day,. One of my few regular supplements (zinc and electrolytes being the others).
I'm thinking about writing a long post about Mineral Balancing in the near future. I've been learning about it for a while but only just this week settled down enough that I can consistently focus on things outside of my day job for the first time in several months.
Most important mineral is sodium chloride. Optimum amount is 7.5 to 12.5 grams a day.
I also use salt with my food, I just don't think of that as a "supplement" in the same way as I take the other minerals.
People who don’t eat junk food often don’t get enough salt.
Specific symptoms of deficiency are leg cramps, dizziness on standing , passing urine during the night and craving salty foods like olives and pickles.
