I’ve been supplementing electrolytes using table salt, no salt, and magnesium supplements. My understanding was that iodized table salt is best, so you’re still getting some iodine on a fast.
I recently came across [this video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FXdpYjp812o) from Dr. Berg saying that sea salt is better and now I’m confused. Which should I be using for supplementing electrolytes while water fasting?
Answer
I would go with sea salt because you’ll be getting a lot of trace minerals that pure sodium chloride can’t give you. I don’t know that iodide content of sea salt, but if you’re worried about it you can supplement iodine. I personally use Himalayan salt which has no iodine, so I do supplement it.
