Low-sodium water is water that contains a low percentage of sodium (salt) and is considered a healthy option for people suffering from high blood pressure, those following a low-sodium diet, and individuals with chronic conditions such as heart or kidney diseases.

What is the difference between low-sodium water and sodium-free water?
People’s needs for sodium vary based on their daily requirements and health conditions. Similarly, bottled waters vary according to sodium levels based on health standards.

1. Sodium-Free Water:
   Contains less than 5 mg of sodium per liter (or sometimes per 240 ml depending on classification). It is intended for those who need to completely avoid sodium for strict health reasons (such as kidney disease or severe hypertension).

2. Low-Sodium Water:
   Contains less than 20 mg of sodium per liter. It is suitable for those following a low-sodium diet but do not need to avoid sodium entirely.

What is the permissible limit of sodium in drinking water?
The acceptable sodium limit in drinking water varies depending on the reference and health standards:

1. According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
   WHO does not set a strict health-based limit for sodium in drinking water, but suggests that concentrations above 200 mg/L may affect the taste and become unacceptable for some people.

2. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
   Provides a guideline of 20 mg/L as an appropriate level for individuals on a low-sodium diet.

3. European Union and some countries like Saudi Arabia:
   Sodium concentration in drinking water should not exceed 20 mg/L.

Summary:

• For general health: concentrations below 200 mg/L are usually acceptable.

• For individuals with kidney issues or high blood pressure: it is preferable to have sodium levels below 20 mg/L.

How to find out the sodium level on a water bottle label?

1. Look for the "Chemical Composition" or "Mineral Analysis" table, usually found on the side or back of the bottle. It lists elements like Sodium (Sodium), Calcium, Magnesium, Bicarbonate, etc.

2. Sodium is typically listed either by name (Sodium) or symbol (Na⁺3).
   The amount is measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L).
   Example: Sodium = 8 mg/L.
