The wait for the healthier salt is over. PANSALT®, the good-tasting, low-sodium salt imported from Finland, is now available locally. This is good news for the health-conscious and for individuals on special dietary regimens because PANSALT® is a unique, patented mineral salt with iodine that gives food the same savory flavor as common salt, without its harmful effects.
According to the National Nutrition and Health Survey (2003-2004), 22 out of 100 Filipinos have high blood pressure. Common salt, which is almost 100% sodium chloride, has been noted as a major cause of high blood pressure and its complications, such as strokes, heart attacks, and kidney damage. PANSALT®, which cuts sodium chloride to 56-57%, is rich in the essential minerals magnesium and potassium, which are not present in common salt. It also has the best taste profile among low-sodium salts because it does not have any bitter or metallic aftertaste. PANSALT® has also been shown to remarkably improve the therapeutic effects of drugs used for the treatment of high blood pressure.
PANSALT® has found great consumer acceptance across Europe including the UK and inAsia and the Pacific, such as in Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia, making it a favored flavoring agent in thousands of food products from hundreds of manufacturers. PANSALT®is used in processed meat and fish products, snacks, dairy and bakery products, seasonings and flour mixtures, etc.
