Teokimhoe, I suggest you go to the PDF forums and "ask the dietician", or "ask the doctor"

.Sodium is an electrolyte that is important for cell health, all cells. Cell walls act as a membrane for osmosis that maintains the proper comcentration of sodium and potassium within the cells. I am familiar with the problem of too much sodium, it raises blood pressure. And too little potassium may result i
n a lazy heart. But I don't know about sodium depletion, except it is not good for your cells. I think it would be a stretch to try and connect that to the particular cells in the substantia nigra. These metabolites effect all cells, thay are not particular.One major cause of sodium deficiency is excess sweating.That probably does not answer you, so go to NPF.
