Real Salt-26 oz. Pouch
Is Your Salt Real? ®
Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea
covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of
this sea, and over millions of years, the water evaporated, leaving the salt in
undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth's Jurassic era, a range of
volcanos erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with layers of
thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution
that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of
Redmond, in central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, we
extract this hand-selected salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you
in its pure, natural state-without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing.
This is RealSalt, full of flavor and natural goodness-the way salt was meant to
be savored!
The RealSalt® Difference
Compared to RealSalt brand salt, many sea salts appear stark white because
they have undergone a harsh refining process. Unlike RealSalt, these salts are
filled with silicates, dextrose, and other additives. By contrast, RealSalt is
an all-natural, kosher-certified sea salt extracted from deep within the earth,
crushed, screened, and packaged. RealSalt's unique flecks of color are the
result of more than 50 natural trace minerals essential to human health
(including natural iodine!). Experience the goodness of RealSalt!
What are the Colored Specks in
RealSalt?
RealSalt’s unique “pinkish” appearance and flecks of color come from more
than 50 natural trace minerals, including iodine. By contrast, other so-called
“table salts” are white because of bleaching and refining.
What are the Health Benefits of Salt
“[S]odium is crucial for maintaining the health of every cell in the human
system. It permeates the fluid between cells (often called the ‘extracellular
fluid’) and potassium exists mainly on the inside of the cells (in the
‘intracellular fluid’)…If either of these minerals is deficient or in excess,
cell permeability becomes compromised and the health of all the cells suffers.
Besides being a component of extracellular fluid that bathes every
living cell, sodium is important in two other ‘salty oceans’ in the body–our
blood and our lymphatic fluid. It is also necessary for the production of
hydrochloric acid, the digestive enzyme secreted by the stomach in order to
digest protein. Along with potassium, sodium is required for the proper
functioning of our nerves and the contraction of our muscles…
With the
many crucial roles sodium plays, it’s clear that if we had no sodium, we would
cease to exist.” ²
Gittleman also notes that “[R]educing sodium too much
can be just as harmful as consuming large amounts of it. Too little can cause
spasms, poor heart rhythms, sudden death and even increase the risk of heart
attack in hypertensive patients.” ³
