Potassium salt, table salt substitute, Zdravnitza, 500 g

- Alternate table salt substitute
- Source of Potassium
- Suitable for people suffering from high blood pressure
- Suitable for diabetics

Potassium Salt "Zdravnitza" is a formula with a high content of potassium chloride and reduced sodium chloride content.

Potassium salt is obtained through purification and processing of potassium-rich minerals, most commonly carnallite or sylvinite, extracted from underground deposits. The product undergoes a strict refining process to ensure its purity and safety for consumption. Enriched with potassium iodate, it provides an essential source of iodine – a vital element for the proper function of the thyroid gland.

Health Benefits:

Potassium salt is designed as a healthier alternative to regular table salt, particularly recommended for:

High blood pressure (hypertension):
The reduced sodium content in potassium salt helps lower blood pressure. Excess sodium is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, while potassium has the opposite effect – it helps the body eliminate excess sodium and supports heart health.

Diabetes:
Potassium salt is safe for people with diabetes and does not affect blood sugar levels. Additionally, potassium supports metabolism and muscle function, which are often impacted in people with diabetes.

Low-sodium diets:
Suitable for individuals following prescribed diets for kidney disease, heart failure, or other conditions requiring sodium restriction.

Potassium deficiency leads to fatigue, weakness and constipation. Expressed potassium deficiency can even escalate to severe health conditions such as paralysis, respiratory failure, painful bowel obstruction, and more. For this reason, replacing table salt with potassium salt is extremely beneficial for human health.

Sufferers of high blood pressure should avoid excessive use of cooking salt. In cardiovascular and renal diseases a salt-free diet is recommended. The heart needs potassium for its activity. As a result, there is a tendency to partially replace sodium chloride in potassium salt with potassium chloride in different ratios.

Potassium Salt vs. Regular Salt:

The main component of potassium salt is potassium chloride, while regular salt is sodium chloride. Potassium salt supports heart health and regulates blood pressure, while regular salt raises blood pressure.

Potassium salt tastes very similar to regular salt. Most people notice little to no difference in flavor, and some even find it milder and more pleasant. In certain cases (e.g., under high-heat cooking), the taste may slightly differ, but it doesn’t significantly affect the final dish.
