Reddit reviews Nu Salt Substitute Salt, 3-Ounce Shaker

Sodium: broth/bouillon. Beef tastes better but chicken is more readily available. I'll put a TBSP into my 24oz coffee cup in the morning, drink it throughout the day, and that's about 2500mg of sodium. More if I counted the splash of Frank's Red Hot. Adding a TBSP of heavy cream really kicks it up a notch.

Potassium: No Salt (NOT Nu Salt or Lite Salt) as it provides 2600mg of potassium per TSP. Nu Salt contains more, if I'm not mistaken. I'll sneak 1/4 tsp of No Salt into that same coffee cup in the morning and usually split the remaining 3/4 tsp into two 28 oz bottles of water with a few squeezes of Mio water enhancer. Looks like Nu Salt might be easier for you to find, at least on amazon. Also, spinach.

Magnesium: two of these

I get my potassium from Nu-Salt and was able to completely avoid the keto flu-like symptoms. Best of luck with your latest attempt!

This is an experiment that you can perform yourself although the company does say to consult a physician before using their product. This is because some people should be on a potassium restricted diet such as for kidney disease source.

Many grocery stores sell a table salt substitute called Nu-Salt that is a potassium based salt (KCl) instead of sodium based salt (NaCl).

You may find that the potassium salt tastes a bit "acrid" compared to sodium "table" salt.

What's your DRA? 1500mg? Whenever I do a low sodium diet, I shoot for roughly 1500mg.

For this type of dietary restriction, I normally stuck to foods that don't need a lot of salt, like veggies, lean meats, and fruit. You'd be surprised how much salt is in bread, crackers, pastries and other baked goods. Pastas and rice also tend to need more salt to add flavor, so I avoid those too, however, rice is more forgiving with how many spices you can add to it.

How do you feel about potassium-free salts and low sodium salt substitutes? There's a pretty good half & half on amazon that has good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=sr_1_12_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511449360&sr=8-12&keywords=salt+substitute

Nu-Salt

These are critical to maintaining your electrolytes, along with sodium. You need more than just added table salt, think heavily salted food like pickles, or my favourite way is broth from these bullion cubes

Trace Minerals brand

When I make an electrolyte drink I use a teaspoon of this, but then I'll also add a few shakes of this potassium salt so that i get a good 10-15% of my recommended potassium in one drink.

congratulations! this is what i use for potassium. i think one can order it on amazon

nu salt (per /u/perritosupergordito, contains ingredients derived from honey) and lo salt are pretty good.

Hey everyone,

I think I came up with a good recipe for ketoade and I'd like to get your feedback on it! I have a 24oz bottle that I fill up once per day to sip on, but I make it in batches (120oz) that last me 5 days.

​

Recipe:

• 5 servings of Keto Chow Fasting Drops (1 serving = 1/2 tsp) - 1,100mg sodium, 180mg magnesium
  
• 6 servings of Nu-Salt (1 serving = 1/6tsp) - 3,180mg potassium
  
• 5 servings of Mio Sport w/Electrolytes Berry Bast(1 serving = 1/2 tsp) - 400mg sodium
  
  Makes 5 24oz servings.
  
  Totals per serving;
  
  
• Sodium: 300mg
  
• Potassium: 636mg
  
• Magnesium: 35mg
  
  The only thing I can think of to improve this would be to add more magnesium. What do you think? Any recommendations?

Hard boiled eggs w/ Nu-Salt, and pop tarts.

Nu-Salt is potassium chloride, and it seriously helps me with cramping. I love the stuff.

I find I get more than enough sodium from food and that it is easy to add more if needed. If adding sodium is making your headaches worse, then you need a lot more potassium. That's why I use electromix, because it does not have any sodium, and will help increase potassium ratios. Another (cheaper) way to get potassium only (no other electrolytes) is to dump some "salt substitute" (available in every grocery store) in with whatever you're drinking/eating. It is potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride and does taste salty, but odd.

With electrolytes you need to hit all of those macros, not just salt and magnesium. The ratio is the most important part.

Potassium - Nu Salt

Just sprinkle it on some stuff throughout the day.

https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC Is this the right stuff? So you take this every morning on an 18/6 fast or only on 24+ hour fast?

I ordered 16 of these just in case.

It should last a while.

Looking for a NoSalt substitute, I found these two options:

Look at the back panel for potassium content and compare with no salt

Himalayan is good stuff but it has trace amounts of potassium at best. I have used [this](NoSalt Sodium-Free Salt Alternative, 11 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H185N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8ZWwCb8H2HWVG), and [this](Nu-Salt Substitute Shaker, 3 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_B0WwCbZSF5540) in the past. Its usually on the very bottom shelf in the salt section.

These are the recomended amounts of each per day

5000 mg of sodium

1000-4700mg of potassium

300 mg of magnesium

Your Himalayan is perfect for sodium, which is the big one. Same thing with the magnesium. Potassium needs really vary per person, but if you notice that you're feeling wonky, achy, or cramping up its a sign you're not getting enough and might want to try and track down the no/nu salt.

With regards to your recipe, you can use myfitnesspal (or whatever) to track them and make sure youre getting your recommended amounts. Beyond that it's really personal preference. The only caution about that is to make sure you're spreading it throughout the day, because too much, too.quick has have a really unfortunate diuretic effect.

You can purchase a potassium based salt substitute to add to foods. The taste does not compare to salt, but I could see substituting some salt from a recipe for this, especially in something that has a lot of other spices.

I use this in combination with a liquid magnesium supplement, to make a calorie-free electrolyte drink that I use when outdoors on hot days. I find that this combination decreases my feelings of dehydration and fatigue.

By reading the nutrient facts on the back of this NuSalt (potassium chloride), it seems1 tsp contains the RDA of potassium. For comparison, when I make a drink with this, I usually am adding 1/4 tsp to 1L of water.

My understanding is that it takes a significant consumption of potassium to cause elevated levels, unless one has underlying kidney issues or medication. Of course, I would not take far in excess of the RDA without good reasons.
