An electrolyte and bone mineral; sweat losses are small compared with sodium.
Chloride is lost in sweat along with sodium, and is usually replaced along with it, as sodium chloride.
Supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant; moderate doses may reduce colds during heavy training, while very high doses may blunt training adaptations.
