Is amount of salt to high in Jake Light?

[runic]

Hi!

After my first order of Jake Light arrived, I have noticed that it contains 2 grams of salt per serving, or 6 grams of salt per 3 servings per day. Should I be worried about salt amount if I have increased blood pressure?

UK National Health Service recommends consuming maximum of 6 grams of salt per day. NHS states that a high amount of salt is more than 1.5g per 100 grams.

NHS recommendations on daily salt intake - http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/1138.aspx?CategoryID=51

Jake Light is right on that 6g max then right? So exactly not too much. They always have a wide range and then recommend somewhere in the safe. The average daily intake is somewhere up 12 grams per day.

after 3 weeks on jake light i've experienced some side effects
- liquid retention
- increase of blood pressure (hypertension type i levels).

[i switched to another options (joylent, bertrand) with lower salt (sodium) added (1g/day)].

i don't think it could be generalized.
only that 6g/day is too high for me.
[but... what are the advantages of a high sodium diet?]

I actually add salt and other electrolytes to Jake.

For those of us who do hard exercise several times a week*, I don't think there is too much salt at all. I wouldn't want to see any reduction.
