Used to scale base ranges (+/-10% per 25 lbs from 175 lb baseline)
Magnesium baseline adjusted: 310 mg (F) vs 370 mg (M)
Early adaptation: +20% sodium, -10% potassium (renal K+ excretion)
Food Sources (Optional Adjustment)
Meat provides ~350 mg K+ per lb and trace sodium from natural content
~750 mg Na, ~350 mg K+ per cup (homemade/salted)
1 tsp (~6g) = ~2,300 mg sodium. Most carnivores need 1.5-2.5 tsp.
Glycinate, malate, or citrate. Don't exceed 400 mg supplemental without guidance.
