Cardia Salt

Nutrition 21’s CARDIA SALT is a great tasting all-natural salt formulation. CARDIA SALT is recommended by leading physicians and is consistent with national health guidelines for people who should reduce their sodium intake.

CardiaSalt PhotoLooks, cooks, and tastes like regular salt.
CARDIA SALT has been shown in taste tests to taste like regular salt. CARDIA SALT can be used -- measure-for-measure -- in place of salt in all of your favorite recipes. CARDIA SALT is available in a convenient shaker allowing you to use it whenever you would normally use regular salt in cooking, baking, and at the table.

All natural.
CARDIA SALT is an all natural product made from no artificial ingredients. CARDIA SALT’s formulation contains 54 percent less sodium than regular salt (269mg versus 590mg per 1/4 teaspoon serving), as well as added levels of important minerals potassium (176mg or [5 mEq]) and magnesium (13mg or [0.4 mEq]). CARDIA SALT also contains L-lysine monohydrochloride, a naturally-occurring amino-acid, which helps to mask the bitter taste normally associated with potassium and to enhance the product's real salt flavor.

Recommended by leading physicians
CARDIA SALT provides an opportunity for people who should reduce their sodium intake to enjoy the taste of real salt while still complying with the recommendations of their physicians, pharmacists, and dietitians to reduce sodium and maintain the essential minerals potassium and magnesium in their daily diets.

Consistent with lifestyle guidelines for people who should reduce their sodium intake
Using CARDIA SALT instead of regular salt is consistent with guidelines released by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the National Institutes of Health (the Sixth Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure ). Both reducing sodium intake and maintaining adequate supplies of potassium and magnesium are recommended by these organizations.

Does not interfere with high blood pressure medications
In addition to its ability to promote healthy blood pressure, clinical data show that CARDIA SALT does not interfere with the leading blood pressure-lowering medications including many ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and diuretics. Studies have shown that regular salt does interfere with the blood pressure-lowering effects of these medications. When medications do not work properly, this can lead to additional physician visits, as well as to adjustments in medication selection and dosing, which can result in increased health care costs and lower quality of life for people with high blood pressure.
