IMO, it's to take them together. I.e. taking fiber, drink lots of water accordingly. Calcium supplements are not effective if not taken with Magnesium. 2:1 ratio. Omega 3-6-9- is a good balance and UDO's oil supplies all 3. Potassium/Sodium is a little more tricky but Potassium removes Sodium from the body so if Sodium is high, Potassium may help in its reduction levels. When one or the other is higher or lower, it may cause an electrolyte imbalance - hyper(fill in the suffix for the different types of illnesses) and should be treated accordingly.

Please do not quote @Schizophoniahere as he might lead you to the chemist lab and cause an explosion in your right ear. Lol. 

@Michael569is a better choice and will not cause your heart to palpitate. Schizo knows I'm joking......not. hehe.

@Growly mostly not if you're healthy and provided you are getting them from food and not from multinutrient supplements. A balanced diet should sufficiently provide all of them and the body will eliminate what it doesn't need through kidneys and gut or store for later those that are storable. 

Caveats being: 

• pre-existing health conditions requiring increased or reduced dosage(e.g. kidney disease, osteopenia..) 
• pre-existing need for higher or lower intake due to change of circumstances, environment, preference, optimisation etc. 
• supplementation of other high dose that would disturb a long term homeostatic balance 

Omega 3 might be one exception where a supplementation of the elongated chain acids mainly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may be a cheap precaution policy. You don't have to focus on the 3:1 ratio which is unsupported by the evidence but going on an occasional cycle of clean fish / algal oil can be a good idea. Also good idea to keep an eye on your ALA sources (walnuts, chia etc)

@Michael569 So I don't need to follow ratios as long as I get all my nutrients & eat no processed food

[Michael569]

@Growly not unless doing it helps you feel more in control.

Nothing wrong with some processed food. Not all of it is equal.

@Michael569 You there there's any benefit in following recommended ratios? I don't have any health conditions
