Losalt Original Reduced Sodium Salt 350g

Product Information

The recommended daily intake of salt (or sodium) includes the amount already added it ready-made and processed foods, as well as the salt you add when you cook and eat. Age An iconic UK brand sold around the world – LoSalt is manufactured by a family-owned business in East Kilbride, Scotland. Growing up, brothers Stephen and Michael Klinge had always been close, so when it came to earning a living, the siblings decided the next logical step was to start a business together. Having developed an idea to produce a reduced sodium salt alternative, they re-located from London to custom-made premises in East Kilbride and in 1984 they launched LoSalt in the UK. The best replacement for salt is to use sumac, which is a gluten free Middle Eastern spice. Not only is it the highest antioxidant spice, but it also has an uncanny flavor reminiscent of lemon salt. Your tongue won’t believe that it’s nearly sodium free.

Morton Lite Salt, Saxa So-Low, and Tata are similar to these. The brand NoSalt is a sodium-free alternative which is made with 100% potassium. Does it taste different? Due to the cardiac effects it has, potassium chloride is actually one of the drugs used in lethal injections. Drake, S. L.; Drake, M. A. (2011).

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: Developing a sodium deficiency is the least common side effect. Americans and Europeans eat 600% to 1,000% more per day than they need to. In India, the average intake is 10,980 mg per day of salt. Unless one has a disease which predisposes them, it’s highly unlikely you will develop a sodium deficiency from using low sodium salt. Not even with long term use.

Potassium closely resembles the saltiness of sodium. In practice, potassium chloride (also known as potassium salt) is the most commonly used salt substitute. Its toxicity for a healthy person is approximately equal to that of table salt (the LD 50 is about 2.5g/kg, or approximately 190g for a person weighing 75kg). Potassium lactate may also be used to reduce sodium levels in food products and is commonly used in meat and poultry products. [9] The recommended daily allowance of potassium is higher than that for sodium, [10] yet a typical person consumes less potassium than sodium in a given day. [11] Potassium chloride has a bitter aftertaste when used in higher proportions, which consumers may find unpalatable. As a result, some formulations only replace half the sodium chloride with potassium. [12]

Monosodium glutamate is often used as a substitute to salt in processed and restaurant food, due to its salty taste and low sodium content compared to table salt, and can also be used effectively in home cooking. [15] [16] 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.” Our vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases.
