Chloride![]() |
||||
Chloride reportedly is non-toxic even at high doses.
Very high intakes of chloride can cause water-deficiency dehydration.
No Daily Value or Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) has been set for chloride; however, the estimated minimum daily requirements of healthy persons is 750mg. for people 10-years-old and older.
Chloride deficiency is rare, except in individuals experiencing chronic diarrhea or vomiting.
Without enough chloride, the body's acid-base balance is upset, causing a condition called alkalosis.
