Real Salt

Just about everyone knows that, if you have high blood pressure, you shouldn't use too much salt - that is, the salt you buy in the grocery store that costs about 99 cents.

Redmond RealSalt is different. It is pure, natural salt–without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. RealSalt is extracted from deep within the earth, crushed, screened, and packaged without any bleaching or refining. RealSalt’s unique “pinkish” appearance and flecks of color come from more than 50 natural trace minerals, including iodine. It sort of reminds me of sand and has a gritty texture that some people don't like. I didn't like the texture at first but I don't mind it now and usually hardly notice it.

I've been using RealSalt for maybe 5 years now and don't like to use anything else. I have a family history of high blood pressure so I try to be careful about sodium intake, but I'm a salt lover. People with weak adrenals, which I think I probably have, usually crave salt. My doctor told me to use RealSalt liberally and my blood pressure is always good. Last week at my doctor's appointment, the top number was only 98 - probably too low.

RealSalt contains 50 naturally occurring trace minerals like calcium, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, copper, iodine and zinc.
