Sodium-Free Salt Substitute, 3oz Shaker Bottle (Pack of 2)

I am borderline high blood pressure. I started using this and it surprisingly tastes like salt and you don’t need much at all. Great alternative for people who are watching sodium intake.

I'm really surprised this is available without a prescription. The amount of potassium in just one serving - 1/6 tsp - is over 5 times the legal limit of potassium allowed in an over-the-counter potassium supplement tablet. Although potassium is safer in food than it is in pill form, moderate amounts of this stuff could be lethal to someone with a kidney problem! Please check with your doctor first before trying this, and don't use it on food you plan to share with others. That said, for those with a green light from their doctor, this is a great salt alternative. It provides a LOT of potassium to fill some gaps in a diet that's deficient in potassium and excessive in sodium. I first tried Morton Lite Salt (mix of sodium and potassium salts) and liked it, so I took the plunge to try this pure potassium salt product. It tastes a little different from regular salt - sort of a vaguely tangy kind of flavor - but it's similar enough to work really, really well. When mixed into food, I can't tell the difference at all. It's a little finer than standard table salt, but not nearly as fine as the special "fine" varieties. I use slightly less of it than I would regular table salt to achieve the same level of saltiness. I will definitely buy again.

Nu-Salt is my go-to salt substitute. It has zero sodium and is 100% pure potassium chloride, making its strength excellent for everyday use at every meal. I found that it actually takes less Nu-Salt than regular table salt to achieve the desired level of 'taste-saltiness' making it a very good buy. In humid conditions the potassium chloride tends to clump a bit, but a quick shake of the container breaks it up and it flows freely again. The 3-oz size is perfect for use at the table as well as in the kitchen. I love getting them in a six pack like this which makes running out much less likely. If you're on doctor's orders to reduce your sodium this is the ticket! Not only does Nu-Salt help you reduce your sodium intake, it also provides the necessary mineral potassium chloride which helps prevent muscle cramping and other health benefits. I've been using Nu-Salt for years, it's been a real benefit for me, and help keep my doctor happy too! 😊

I bought it for table salt substitute to help increasing potassium intake. Taste is slightly different and it's a bit more intense; however, the taste is like "mineral water" if I add a teaspoon into 8oz/240ml water and there's no salty taste. It takes time to get used it but it's worth.

I apologize to anyone who does not have this taste problem with "Nu-Salt". First let me say, I am trying to reach the US RDA for adults of 4.7g of Potassium per day to combat severe edema. I was rarely salting my foods, but I was hopeful that low potassium (about 2g/day) with above recommended sodium intake (>=1.5g/day, not good) were to blame. Upon finally getting near 4g/day of Potassium including from supplementation, not only did I finally get control over my edema, but I started to experience many positive medical effects that I was ailing from and didn't realize getting the right amount of potassium was such a necessity. (not only do we need 4.7g/day of potassium, but it is necessary to keep the potassium to sodium ratio a little less than 5:1). Now, I salt my foods with Potassium Chloride when needed (I buy no salt or low salt products now, which I never did before) and put "better" salt back in using Potassium Chloride (a potassium salt) further lowering my sodium intake while increasing my potassium intake. A win-win deal. :-) Just a tip about using Potassium Chloride to replace Sodium Chloride (common table salt): some brands of Potassium Chloride, or potassium based salt... however you want to remember it, have a very thin line for taste tolerance from being just right to overwhelming the taste of the food you are trying to salt it on with an unpleasant metal taste. I found one product on Amazon that has a much greater margin of error when salting with it, which is so helpful, especially when new to using Potassium Chloride to substitute for table salt. "Nu-Salt", unfortunately, has that narrow margin of error when salting my foods. If it's low sodium broth or hard boiled eggs, I just add more broth or eggs, but commonly, you can't always correct over salting so easily. I've wasted too much food, even when salting a little, then tasting a little and repeating as needed. That's why I say it is a narrow margin of error, because I so try to not over do it, and then suddenly, with just a little more added, the food taste like metal and I ruined it. Oh, want to know the Potassium Chloride based salt product I am now using with the wider margin for error when salting my foods? It's "No Salt". I won't touch "Nu-Salt" anymore. I bought both potassium products from Amazon. I do realize that everyone's tastes are different, so you may actually have a different experience and prefer "Nu-Salt". For me, I'm sticking with "No Salt"... and yes, there is less potassium/gram in "No Salt" than in "NuSalt", which may be the sole difference in taste for me. Want to know one of the many unexpected improvements I got when focusing on my Potassium intake and reducing my sodium intake to the ratio of about 5:1, respectively? Potassium lowers blood pressure; sodium raises it. Yes, I had a nearly instant observation of lower (average) blood pressure when I started to get near the 4.7g/day of Potassium goal (and, respectively, near the almost 5:1 ration of potassium intake to sodium intake. Don't forget, I have mild hypertension and even I noticed a difference. It was only a few digits down on both blood pressure numbers, but I will take it! I will post pretty much this same review for the "Alta" Potassium Chloride pills and the 2 brands of Potassium Chloride salts, "No Salt" and "Nu-Salt", so if you see my posts repeat itself, please don't get upset with me. I let you know ahead of time. :-)

Nu-Salt is a great product compared to most salt substitutes. However, it is pricey. I bought a 12-pack of 3oz containers for a really low price, $0.56/oz as opposed to $1.00+/oz. They arrived on time and the Amazon shipping box was undamaged. The Nu-Salt box inside was also undamaged. However, there was maybe a tablespoon of loose Nu-Salt in the Amazon box, and more loose inside the manufacturer's box. So I removed the 12 containers one at a time over the sink. 11 were OK, but the bottom had fallen off the 12th one, and all the salt went into the sink. After checking with Amazon, I found that the item is "not eligible for return or replacement". I was aware of that when I ordered it, but thought there might be *some* recompense available if one was damaged. NOPE. So, be aware that if it arrives with one or more containers leaking, that is your problem, not theirs. Other than that, I highly recommend Nu-Salt as a product!

Even though the shaker arrived dented, it doesn't stop the shaker from working as it should.

Tastes decent and gets me to eat less salt

Great salt

Rien à signaler

Good salt, all magnesium and no salt. Magnesium is very beneficial essential mineral for our body. So you're getting a good dose of magnesium in less than a quarter of a teaspoon mixed with water. Does not contain much in the small tube so need to buy 3 or more to last longer if you're using it everyday. Good stuff, doesn't taste like salt.

This is the best product to boost your potassium levels. I buy it frequently.

je suis mitigée et j'explique, je voulais un substitut au sel, niveau goût, cela sale vraiment et même bien mais en fin de bouche il y a un arrière goût que je n'aime pas.
