Teenagers require the same amount of sodium as adults. From the age of 9 years old and throughout adulthood, you need 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. That means total sodium, not added sodium. You'll usually get more than that anyway.
The Food Standards Agency in the UK recommends consuming a maximum of 6g per day (2.4g sodium)
2400mg of sodium is needed for a 2000 calorie diet. If your calorie diet is higher, you may need more sodium.
Aim to eat less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day.
The recommended amount of sodium is no more than 2,300-2,400mg per day.
