About Chloride

Micronutrient

Chloride is the main anion in extracellular fluid and works in tandem with sodium to maintain fluid balance, blood pressure, and electrical neutrality across cell membranes. It is a component of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid, HCl), which is essential for protein digestion and killing pathogens. Almost all dietary chloride comes from sodium chloride (salt).

⚠️ Too little

Hypochloraemia is rare from diet alone. It can occur with severe vomiting, diarrhoea, or excessive sweating. Symptoms include muscle cramps, weakness, and metabolic alkalosis.

🚫 Too much

Excess chloride is not of independent concern — the health risks of excess salt are attributed to sodium rather than chloride specifically.
