Nu-Salt Sodium-Free Salt Substitute, 3oz Shaker Bottle (Pack of 1)

Tastes like salt to me!

Nu-Salt is a great sodium-free alternative that tastes similar to regular salt. It’s perfect for low-sodium diets, though the flavor can be slightly bitter to some. Overall, it’s effective and affordable. Got it for my grandma

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.

It’s good, the taste is ok but I really have nothing else to compare it to since this was the first salt substitute I’ve ever tried. I woke up one morning & had really bad gallbladder pains whenever I ate anything with salt on it, so I bought this to help with that problem & it has! But From what I could research? It’s really, really high in potassium chloride sitting at 1.5g per every 1/4 teaspoon. Adult males should only take in 3,500 grams a day & this suggests you can substitute it for salt per instructions of recipe. One of my dishes calls for 1/2 teaspoon which puts it at 2,500 grams of potassium chloride right there, with one dish. Yeah we can argue that I didn’t eat the whole dish in one sitting, but that’s still a lot especially if you’re taking another substitute like I do which is a Glucosamine Sulfate with Potassium Chloride that’s 1,000 grams a pill with the instructions of having 2 per day. My lips are tingling at the moment because I didn’t do the math before I used this. But that’s ok, I’ll adjust tomorrow, & not make anymore meals tonight with this. Also, this is a 3oz Shaker bottle just incase you missed it in the description or on the pictures. But besides that? It’s pretty good & has a very salty taste. I did order the Morton’s version and No-Salt to try as an alternative to this, so once I try it? I’ll be sure to update this review in comparison. Hope this helps.

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. :-)

Product itself and delivery were okay, but the product is caked and difficult to shake out. Not sure I'll want to use this brand again.

My husband believes he HAS to have salt. I bought nu-salt for the 1st time over a year ago and put it in our salt shakers. My husband has yet to notice a difference. I have used it for anything I would use salt for and haven't seen an issue.

GREAT !! Taste Like Real Salt but 100% Better For You !!!!! Good Price - Will Buy Again - Thank You !!!!!

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.
