Is it true that human sweat contains sodium chloride and other salts lost from the body?
Unclear. Multiple peer-reviewed sources report that human sweat contains sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium, with sodium and chloride present in the highest concentrations. None of the retrieved items explicitly states that sweat contains sodium chloride and other salts lost from the body, so the evidence covers the constituent ions rather than the claim as worded.
