Pan salt
Pan salt is an artificially produced salt , which is supposed to reduce the health disadvantages of the excessive consumption of table salt . This applies in particular to the suspected connection between the consumption of sodium chloride and the occurrence of high blood pressure . Therefore some of the sodium chloride has been replaced by potassium chloride and magnesium sulfate . Both substances are supposed to promote the blood flow to the heart and thus have a blood pressure lowering effect. In addition, the amino acid lysine was added, which is supposed to cover up the unpleasant taste of potassium.
Components:
- 57% sodium chloride
- 28% potassium chloride
- 12% magnesium sulfate
- 2% lysine hydrochloride
history
The starting point was the research work of the Finnish professor Heikki Karppanen, who examined the connection between the mineral content in soils and the cardiovascular system of the people in North Karelia . In 1977 he replaced some of the sodium chloride in table salt with magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride. In collaboration with Mildred Seelig (USA) the artificial salt was further developed and marketed first in Finland and then in Japan.
