Notice the warning on the label of NuSalt:

Quote:
For normal healthy people. Persons having diabetes, heart or kidney disease, or receiving medical treatment should consult a physician before using a salt alternative or substitute.
If you look closely at the label it states ONE GRAM contains 530mg of potassium. That means rest of the one gram contains other stuff, including the chloride. One gram is a tiny amount.


Here is another warning, this on Amazon reviews:

Basically salt substitutes can be risky. When you shake it out of the container you are not really measuring anything...so therefore you may get more than you think you are. So it is always best to consult your doctor about the safety for your situation in using a product like this.
