How much salt is in the human body?

Answer:
"The human body contains many salts, of which sodium chloride (AKA common table salt) is the major one, making up around 0.4 per cent of the body's weight at a concentration pretty well equivalent to that in seawater. So a 50kg person would contain around 200g of sodium chloride - around 40 teaspoons. Since we lose salt whenever we sweat, it has to be continually replaced."

Answer 2
All salts present in human or any other animal are in ionic form as salts dissociate in water . Our body contain 1% salts in ionic form . This includes only inorganic salts .
