    Good product for when you’re on furosemide, bad product for spironolactone.

      As someone who naturally craves lots of salt spiro was rough. About 5 years of constant cravings for a level of salt most people around me couldn’t handle

        The fun part of that one is it’s potassium sparing. So you start using this stuff while taking that medication you’ll get hyperkalemia. Lasix, on the other hand, makes you piss out all your potassium.

    It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

      True, but doctors will still recommend it because of you tell people they can’t have any seasoning they might just ignore you.
      If you tell them they can have the other stuff, they’ll find it much easier to comply and it’s still much better.

      Stay hydrated and have good working kidneys and you should be fine. But that can be said for sodium chloride as well.

    They can’t call it a salt substitute because it still has salt. Some people are told to cut down on salt, so would be attracted to something that tastes salty but has less salt in it. I get why it’s funny, but it seems reasonable to me.

      It’s also great for those on keto diets since potassium can be difficult to get from that diet.

    As stated right there on the label, some of the NaCl has been replaced with taster’s choice KCl. So it was never pure sodium to begin with, due to all that pesky chlorine and now about half of the Na has been replaced with Potassium.

      Imagine making pasta and salting the water with pure sodium. There’s a reason they don’t sell that in the supermarket.

    Would be cool to find out it’s 50% sodium chloride and 50% chloride.

      My wife bought that from a local distillery, she kept telling me “but it’s low calories”. It was such garbage.
