Product Information

Monosodium glutamate is often used as a substitute to salt in processed and restaurant food, due to its salty taste and low sodium content compared to table salt, and can also be used effectively in home cooking. A small amount of sodium is vital to our survival, but because salt is often hidden in the food we eat, it’s very easy to consume more sodium than our bodies actually need. Unless one has a disease which predisposes them, it’s highly unlikely you will develop a sodium deficiency from using low sodium salt.

Hydrolyzed protein [24] or 5'-nucleotides [25] are sometimes added to potassium chloride to improve the flavour of salt substitutes. If we can reduce our sodium intake, we will be taking a simple, small and yet very important step towards controlling our blood pressure. Potassium lactate may also be used to reduce sodium levels in food products and is commonly used in meat and poultry products.

Growing up, brothers Stephen and Michael Klinge had always been close, so when it came to earning a living, the siblings decided the next logical step was to start a business together. If you insist on adding salt to your food, then low sodium salt is a healthier alternative to the regular. It’s been proposed that our ancient ancestors consumed the equivalent of less than 1,000 mg of salt per day. They can help you reduce your sodium intake, but they won’t help you kick the habit of eating salty or ready-made foods. Some sodium in our diet is good because it helps our kidneys to control the amount of water in our blood.

The recommended daily intake of salt (or sodium) includes the amount already added it ready-made and processed foods, as well as the salt you add when you cook and eat. Reducing how much salt you eat can make you feel less thirsty, less dehydrated and have less headaches.

Flavor enhancers, although not true salt alternatives, help reduce the use of salt by enhancing the savory flavor ( umami). Even when you eat them without added salt, you’re already getting more than enough sodium just from what they naturally contain. A salt substitute, also known as low-sodium salt, is a low-sodium alternative to edible salt (table salt) marketed to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease associated with a high intake of sodium chloride [1] while maintaining a similar taste.

The study found no significant difference in hyperkalaemia between the two groups, though people with serious kidney disease were excluded from the trial. Today, Stephen and Michael are delighted that their daughter/niece Caroline has joined the business and is using her specialist knowledge to drive the business forward, campaigning for people globally to reduce their sodium intake, seasoning with sense. Having developed an idea to produce a reduced sodium salt alternative, they re-located from London to custom-made premises in East Kilbride and in 1984 they launched LoSalt in the UK.An iconic UK brand sold around the world – LoSalt is manufactured by a family-owned business in East Kilbride, Scotland.
