Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Good day.
Aldosterone is a hormone produced mainly in Adrenal gland and also in various other sites. It regulates the fluid status and blood pressure. The levels of aldosterone varies greatly with posture. Upright posture increase the levels.

Change in blood potassium and fluid volume status also alters the aldosterone levels. A high salt diet reduces aldosterone levels where as a low salt diet increases it.

Keen to know why would you want to increase the aldosterone levels?

Regards
Binu

Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:

There is no natural way to increase it, if the aldosterone production is low due to some genetic defects. In normal people, aldosterone increases with change of posture. Otherwise, you can not increase it any other way
