Pansalt

PANSALT is a low-Sodium mineral salt containing Iodine that has the taste, look and texture of common salt. Its unique patented formula allows for the reduction of its Sodium content. PANSALT only has about half the Sodium found in common salt and is made nutritive by the essential minerals Potassium and Magnesium – two important minerals for a healthy heart, not contained in common salt.

PANSALT is a quality innovation in health foods spearheaded by Heikki Karppanen, M.D., a Professor at the University of Helsinki, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Finland.

Dr Karppanen became involved in the study of salt and its harmful effects after he learned about the high incidence of heart attacks leading to deaths among families in North Karelia, Finland where they lived. He later discovered that it was the high Sodium and low mineral content in the soil in their area affecting their food chain that brought about these heart problems and deaths.

This inspired Dr Karppanen towards the invention of PANSALT. Together with Dr Mildred Seelig, a Magnesium expert from the American College of Nutrition, studies towards the development of PANSALT were completed. The collaboration of the two experts may be found in the Journal of the College.

PANSALT is a unique, healthier salt. It is the result of many years of intensive scientific research and ideal for the consumers who want to follow a healthier diet without compromising on good taste.

The advantages of using PANSALT are many:

• Its primary benefit is the reduction of Sodium which also means a reduction in the risk of acquiring hypertension and its serious complications including strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems.
• A good dose of Magnesium found in PANSALT may be beneficial both in the excretion of excess or harmful Sodium as well as in the secretion and function of Insulin in the body. The lack of this essential mineral is strongly related to high blood pressure and diabetes.
• Potassium is another mineral component of PANSALT which is helpful in getting rid of harmful Sodium in the body, thus contributing to lowered blood pressure.
• PANSALT also contains Lysine, an essential limiting amino acid required for making proteins in the body. Lysine does not naturally occur in the human body and is consumed from daily foods like those containing PANSALT.
• Lastly, PANSALT offers Iodine which is a key to the proper brain cell development of children as well as to their cognitive development.

PANSALT – low-sodium mineral salt with Iodine

PANSALT is a healthier salt rich in the essential minerals Magnesium and Potassium, which are not present in common salt. PANSALT is ideal for use for all who want to follow healthier diet without compromising on good taste at home, in large industrial kitchens and in the food industry replacing common salt. PANSALT is a salt which gives food the same savoury flavour as common salt.

Since PANSALT mineral salt is lighter than common one, it is possible to add it by 1/3 more (dosing in grams). PANSALT contains as much iodine as common salt: 2.5 mg/ 100 g.

In Latvia it is available in two sizes: 250 g and 450 g.
