Morton makes a 50% sodium reduced salt. The other half is potassium chloride. Americans probably eat 3x as much sodium as they need. Adding potassium seems like a good thing according to this study so switching to that is probably good for anyone looking to control blood pressure.
- ahazred8ta 2y agoIIRC the recommended Daily Value for sodium is strictly LESS than 2300 milligrams (mg) per day, while potassium should be over 4700, nearly 2:1. If anything, it sounds like there ought to be a >50% product. I see cream of tartar is 1 cent per gram in bulk, ~5 cents per 1000mg potassium.
- morjom 2y agoI get around 1600 mg of Salt from my medicine alone. ideal limit is 1500 mg while recommended limit is around 2300 mg (teaspoon of table salt) as you indicated.
