Pansalt is probably the world’s most researched salt alternative. The formulation of Pansalt involved hypertension and health specialists and have been tested for safety by a multi-disciplinary group in Finland comprising representatives from the National Public Health Institute, Department of Community Health and Research Institute of Public Health and multi-varsities staff . The study also noted a correlation between Pansalt use and diabetes, with an improvement in oral glucose tolerance.

Pansalt was formulated to replace regular salt. Pansalt cuts down to about half (56%) the sodium chloride that is considered harmful when consumed in excess of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of almost 6g per day per person. (Salt is 99% sodium chloride or 40% sodium and 60% chloride). More important, Pansalt has added mineral nutrients including magnesium, potassium, lysine and iodine.

Regular salt is 99% sodium chloride. Our body needs less than 5g (the recommended MAXIMUM daily intake) per day, yet we consume almost twice this amount everyday. This leads to higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, stomach cancer, osteoporosis and kidney disease, amongst others. You may wish to refer to The Salt Solution , Salt, Diet & Health , Salt Matters – a consumer guide for further information on the harms of regular salt.

It is made under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) conditions which has the high quality equivalent to that of pharmaceutical products, better than most food manufacturing processes.

The useful thing about switching from regular salt to Pansalt is that you IMMEDIATELY reduce your sodium intake by another 44%! The human body needs about 500mg of sodium or 1.2g of sodium chloride for physiology reasons; athletes and highly active work increase that requirement. The target of 2.3g sodium or 5g sodium chloride is set to account for such differences in intake requirement, but is really a MAXIMUM. Of course, you also benefit from the mineral nutrients that are present in Pansalt.

Pansalt as a sodium reduced mineral salt has been approved as an ingredient in organic food products by the National Food Agency of Finland and the European Commission since 2001.

The advantages are many: the most important is that sodium and sodium chloride is cut by almost half (to 56%). This helps to bring the daily salt intake nearer the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) and therefore reduces the risk of related disease and ailment. Pansalt contains a good dose of magnesium – which is found in green veggies, bran cereals and nuts and seeds.

The first modern research on natural eyesight improvement was published in Scientific American back in 1918.

There is nothing wrong with you. Salt is a food enhancer – it brings out the taste of foods. However, a craving for salt is not inborn; it is acquired throughout life.

Pansalt has only about half the sodium of regular salt. Regular salt desensitizes the salt palate; hence increased use of salt with age is a result of the ‘desensitization’ of the salt palate by the continued high use of salt. The older one gets, the more salt is required to get the same ‘kick’ – creating a craving for increased salt intake. Pansalt does not do that.
