Atacama Ancient Salt is a 100% natural sea salt, sourced from the mystical salt flats of the Atacama Desert in Chile - a place where an underground sea dried up thousands of years ago, leaving behind this pure mineral treasure. Its unique origin has preserved a remarkable mineral balance and natural composition through the centuries.

Why is it especially beneficial for people with high blood pressure?

- 35% less sodium compared to regular table salt - reduced sodium means less water retention and a lower risk of high blood pressure.

- 15% naturally occurring potassium - this key mineral helps flush out excess sodium, supports heart rhythm, and contributes to overall cardiovascular health.

How sodium and potassium affect blood pressure:
- Sodium: Increases blood volume and vascular tension, raising blood pressure.
- Potassium: Counters sodium’s effects, promotes its excretion, relaxes blood vessels, and stabilizes heart rhythm.

Thanks to this natural balance, Atacama Ancient Salt is an excellent choice for people with hypertension, offering both reduced sodium intake and increased potassium support.

Benefits for athletes and active lifestyles

During intense workouts, the body loses electrolytes - especially potassium - through sweat. Potassium deficiency can cause muscle cramps, fatigue, and slow recovery. With its higher potassium content, Atacama Ancient Salt helps:
- Maintain electrolyte balance
- Support muscle function and prevent cramps
- Promote faster recovery after exercise

Other health advantages

Heart health
Potassium is essential for proper heart rhythm and muscle function.
