Himalaya Pink Rock Salt

Himalayan pink salt is minimally processed and lacks the additives (like anti-caking agents) found in most table salts. 

• Minerals: It contains trace amounts of minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. However, these quantities are too small to provide significant nutritional benefits; you would need to consume an unsafe amount of salt to reach daily mineral requirements from this source alone.
• Sodium: Nutritionally, it contains a similar amount of sodium chloride to regular table salt (around 98%). Claims that it is lower in sodium or does not raise blood pressure are not scientifically supported; overall sodium intake, regardless of the salt type, is what matters for health conditions like high blood pressure.
• Iodine: Unlike most commercial table salts, Himalayan pink salt is not typically a source of added iodine, an essential mineral for thyroid health. Those using pink salt as their primary salt should ensure they get sufficient iodine from other dietary sources.
• Other claims: Assertions that it can detoxify the body, balance pH levels, or purify the air (in lamps) are not supported by scientific evidence.
