In my country is very hard to find salt substitutes like No-Salt or NuSalt.
So I found this one that has 3 ingredients listed:
I’m wondering if someone knows if these ingredients are safe for water fasting.
Thanks in advance!
Regarding safety, while I’m no expert, if the product is food grade it’s designed to be consumed, so assuming you have no medical reason not to consume it and don’t take an excessive amount, why wouldn’t it be safe?
The product I use contains potassium chloride, calcium silicate, magnesium carbonate, and potassium iodide. I use it with a little baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and find it quite tolerable since there’s hardly any salty taste.
You got some funny responses here, so I’ll elaborate. You are correct to want to supplement a “salt substitute”. 🤓The neutralization reaction of a cation (sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, etc) with an anion (carbon, oxygen, chlorine, phosphorus, etc) produces a salt. Salts are good conductors of electricity (electrolytes), essential for body functions, thus why we need to supplement when not consuming food. We actually require approximately 2-3 times more potassium than sodium, thus the necessity of a “salt substitute” containing potassium, rather than just table salt.Good luck and happy fasting!
