Salt substitute

A salt substitute is an alternative seasoning used in place of regular table salt to reduce sodium intake, which can help lower blood pressure and promote heart health. It often contains potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride, providing a salty flavor without the same health risks associated with high salt consumption. Some substitutes may include other mineral-based flavors or herbs for variety. While generally safe, individuals with kidney problems or those on certain medications should consult a healthcare professional before using salt substitutes, as excessive potassium intake can have adverse effects.
