auteniQ Product Check: Potassium Salt (Blood Pressure Salt)

❗️ Our most important tip: The ingenious trick against high blood pressure!
If you replace regular salt with potassium salt, you are utilizing an ingenious biological trick with a double effect. We automatically consume much less of the blood-pressure-increasing sodium. At the same time, potassium is its natural antagonist: it actively stimulates the kidneys to flush out excess sodium already in the body via urine. Thus, we actively lower our blood pressure. For those who want to naturally get their blood pressure under control, there is no way around reducing regular salt. So, if you salt, often use potassium salt!

The Fact Check: What's in it and what does science say?

Sodium vs. Potassium:

• The problem: We consume traditional table salt (sodium chloride) in excess, often hidden in processed foods like bread or sausages.
• Scientific studies: Science agrees: This excess of sodium is one of the main causes of high blood pressure and is considered the number one global risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. Clinical experience shows that years of elevated blood pressure can often only be definitively normalized by simply switching to potassium salt.
• In a Taiwanese study in a nursing home, researchers replaced regular sodium salt in the kitchens with potassium salt for two and a half years, after which residents suffered significantly fewer heart attacks and strokes and lived longer.
• In the renowned New England Journal of Medicine, researchers published a study where, in 600 Chinese villages, regular table salt in the daily lives of test subjects was replaced with potassium salt for five years, which reduced cardiac deaths by 13%.
  

The Taste:

• The insight: Pure potassium naturally has a slightly more bitter or metallic taste. If this is too intense at first, you can easily dilute potassium salt with a pinch of regular salt (sodium). This mellows the taste, and we hardly notice the difference, while the immense health benefits remain. (Our detailed blog post provides all further details on the significance of the topic of salt.)

Why do we look closely? We all want to know exactly what we are putting into our body and mind. It should be pure and genuine and support health – scientifically proven. At auteniQ, benefit and quality come before profit. That's why we consistently filter out what doesn't meet our strict criteria – even if it means foregoing sales. We select all supplements and products objectively and transparently.
