Product Information

These types of salts are usually less refined (less processed) than table salt. But their amount of sodium and nutrients are similar to table salt. They can still put you at risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases. If you insist on adding salt to your food, then low sodium salt is a healthier alternative to the regular. The potassium from it will not be a danger if you are a healthy individual without diabetes or kidney disease. Because potassium deficiency is common, it can serve as a safe replacement for sodium, a mineral which is overconsumed worldwide.

Contrary to what some may claim, the scientific and medical consensus on high sodium intake is no different than it was last year, last decade, or beforehand. There are lots of things you can do to make sure your food is still exciting and easy to prepare. Try one of these top tips today: There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that consuming too little sodium can lead to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization or death ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22110105/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21540421/). From the first article, “a sodium excretion of less than 3 g per day was associated with increased risk of CV mortality and hospitalization for CHF”. And from the second, “Lower sodium excretion was associated with higher CVD mortality.” Even when adjusting for differences such as body fat percentage and sugar intake, dietary sodium intake was directly correlated with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), which is another reliable measure of inflammation in the body. ( 2) Therefore, the benefit low sodium salts offer for the lowering of blood pressure will be more minimal – probably only a drop of a few points for systolic (at best) and an even smaller improvement for diastolic. Since clinical trials have not been done to measure their efficacy, no one can say for sure. What are the side effects?

Welcome to LoSalt

In short, the Western diet forces all of us to be cognizant of our intake. The best way to do that may not be what you’re expecting. What is low sodium salt? Sodium malate is salty in taste and may be blended with other salt substitutes. Although it contains sodium, the mass fraction is lower. [14] Reducing how much salt you eat can make you feel less thirsty, less dehydrated and have less headaches. What foods are low in salt and sodium? A lot of the food we eat already has salt in it. In fact, around three quarters of the salt we eat on a daily basis has already been added to our food before we buy it. Even when you eat them without added salt, you’re already getting more than enough sodium just from what they naturally contain.

In short, what is meant by low sodium salt is simply regular salt that has been diluted with other ingredients. The actual salt component still has the same percentage of sodium in it.

They make statements like pink Himalayan sea salt doesn’t raise blood pressure. Or that the brand Real Salt actually lowers it. Himalania reduced sodium fine pink is similar to LoSalt. The composition is 220 mg of sodium and 210 mg of potassium. The rest is glutamic acid and the amino acid lysine, a hydrolyzed protein that makes the potassium chloride taste less bitter. Both have a trace amount of magnesium carbonate. The healthiest choice is to give up the shaker entirely. That includes forgoing the reduced sodium versions.Lubin, Gus (2 February 2017).

Medical evidence clearly shows that regularly eating too much salt puts us at increased risk of developing high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart failure, coronary artery disease and stroke, as well as increasing the risks of chronic kidney disease, peripheral arterial disease and vascular dementia. In a clinical study of 224 people with high blood pressure, the C-reactive protein (CRP) level – which is a time tested way to measure inflammation – was found to be “significantly higher” in the group consuming the most salt in their diet, relative to the low and medium salt-intake groups.
