Showing Chloride in the nutrient table
Give the amount of Chloride per daily dose, in mg, and the %NRV. A daily dose of 120 mg works out as 120 ÷ 800 × 100 = 15% NRV. Check other doses with our %NRV calculator.
The nutrient table names the nutrient. The ingredients list names the form used, such as potassium chloride.
Is there a maximum dose?
The UK has no legal maximum for chloride in food supplements, and the NHS doesn’t publish a specific upper amount for it.
Authorised health claims
These are examples of authorised claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register. Use them word for word or with wording that means exactly the same, and only when the daily dose provides at least 15% of the NRV (120 mg).
- “Chloride contributes to normal digestion by production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach”
Check the full register entry before you print: some claims have extra conditions. See our health claims guide and how to check a claim on the register.
Labelling notes
Chloride claims can’t be based on chloride from sodium chloride (salt). The NHS advises that sodium chloride shouldn’t be used in supplements.
Check before you print. Claims and dose advice are summarised from the GB nutrition and health claims register and the NHS vitamins and minerals pages, as of October 2026. Confirm your final wording against the register.
