What is a good Electrolytes level?

BioForge works to an optimal range rather than the lab's reference flag. For Electrolytes that is Na 138–142 or K 4.0–4.5, measured in Na / K / Cl / CO2, mmol/L. A result inside the lab's normal range can still sit outside the range where most people feel and function well.

Electrolytes

Measured in Na / K / Cl / CO2, mmol/L

Sodium, potassium and bicarbonate — the salts that govern fluid balance, blood pressure and heart rhythm.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

Low

Na <135 · K <3.5

Optimal

Na 138–142 · K 4.0–4.5

High

Na >145 · K >5.2

What moves Electrolytes

Moved by hydration, diuretics, blood pressure medications, kidney function, and adrenal hormones. Potassium is falsely elevated if the sample sits too long or the fist is clenched during the draw.
