This is called an electrolyte. These are composed of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, hydrogen phosphate, and hydrogen carbonate. Electrolytes help with the fluid balance and blood pressure control in the human body. The electrolyte balance is regulated by antidiuretic hormones, aldosterone, and parathyroid hormones.
