Volcanic Pink Salt, Quantum Nutrition Labs (12oz)

• Raw, unprocessed sea salt from ancient unpolluted sea beds. Unlike commercial salts, which are highly heated, damaging its chemical properties
• No “flow” or “anti-clump” additives Unlike many salts with toxic additives
• Rich in trace minerals. Unlike refined salts which are missing trace minerals

Use Quantum Pink Salt daily in place of regular table salt to add robust flavor to foods and drinks for the whole family. Premier Pink Salt is a blend of two premium, untreated, solar-dried sea salts which deliver critical trace elements.

The first hearty sea salt comes from the cool, blue, unpolluted waters of the Mediterranean Sea using the oldest method of obtaining salt: solar evaporation. Sea water is transferred through a series of evaporation ponds, while the hot, dry climate and gentle breezes hasten the evaporation process leaving behind only sparkling white salt crystals, containing valuable trace elements (not found in regular table salt).

The second Quantum salt is pink Alaea Hawaiian sea salt. Over the centuries, this gourmet, solar-dried sea salt has been traditionally mixed with health-promoting, pink Alaea clay from the Hawaiian islands, giving the salt a slightly pink color, naturally dense in trace elements. It is known as a sacred health salt by the ancient Hawaiians.

Quantum Pink Salt is free of flow or anti clump additives. Many salts are highly heated, have chemicals added or are refined which can damage its chemical properties and reduce its content of trace minerals. Commercial salt is typically heated to extremely high temperatures, over 1,0000 F., to super-dry the salt so that it will pour easily and not clump (a dubious advantage). This super-heating deranges the molecular configurations of the minerals in the salt. Many researchers point out the toxic reaction of the body to commercial, highly heated salt. In contrast, natural unheated sea salt reacts favorably in the body, delivering many minerals.

Sodium from salt (unrefined) is the primary positive ion found in the blood and body fluids. In a healthy environment, sodium is found mostly in fluids outside cells and about 10 percent inside cells, with about 30 percent concentrated in bones. Sodium works closely with potassium as the primary intra-cellular mineral, which acts as an essential electrolyte and is closely tied with the movement of water. Along with potassium, sodium helps to regulate the fluid balance of the body, both within and outside cells.

Through function of the kidneys, by buffering the blood with a balance of positive or negative ions, sodium and potassium help to control acid/alkaline balance. The flow of sodium and potassium across the cell membranes helps to create an electrical charge that enables muscle contraction and nerve conduction.

Sodium is also important in the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is used in the transport of amino acids from the digestive tract into the blood. Simultaneous loss of water and sodium can initiate low blood pressure, whereas loss of sodium alone can contribute to water retention in cells. Balance of potassium to sodium levels is necessary for proper function of the sodium/potassium “cell pump” and proper cell fluid levels.

Processing
Quantum Pink Salt is not heated or refined and does not contain flow and anti clump additives, preservatives or other chemicals. In addition, Premier Pink Salt is ground using nickel free grinders, ensuring that no toxic tag-alongs will be present in each bottle.
