Nutrition 21 Cardia Salt — 

My significant other suffers from high blood pressure.  He also loves salt.  The result:  something had to give.

He loves salty foods, and I swear he could live on pepperoni, hot dogs, sausage and other high sodium foods. He salts his fresh tomatoes and slices of watermelon.   Short of going on a very restrictive diet, there is not much you can do about processed foods.  You can, however, take a step in lowering your sodium intake as far as the "salt" you add to your meals.

That's where Cardia Salt comes in.  It has real salt taste and contains 54% less sodium than regular table salt.  It comes in 4 ounce shakers and is very convenient to place on the table.  I don't even buy regular table salt anymore.  The product also contains potassium and magnesium, which are essential minerals.  Because it contains potassium, it should not be used by persons on potassium restricted diets unless approved by a physician.

Cutting hubby's sodium intake by 54% on the "extra" salt added to cooking and fresh foods has made a difference in his high blood pressure.  He has fewer spikes in his blood pressure and he really likes the taste and results of this product.

The product is inexpensive at about $2.99 for a 4 ounce shaker.  The only con is that it is not sold locally.  I order it online and order four or five at a time to save on shipping costs.  Since this is not something that will spoil, that works just fine.  He just lets me know when the cardia salt is almost gone and I order some more.

I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to restrict their sodium intake to assist in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

I too thought sea salt was supposed to be healthier. I like salt, yet, worry about developing blood pressure problems. My husband adds salt to most of his food. So I worry about him. So I want to try this Cardia Salt.
In case you are still interested in trying it and cannot find it, as I could not,
here is the purchasing info I received (from the makers of Cardia Salt) to purchase it:
Call 1-888-422-7342. Three (3) shakers cost $18.99; six (6) shakers cost $31.00; and twelve (12) shakers cost $52.00. Shipping & handling are supposed to be included in these prices.

I went to the Nutrition 21 website (the makers of Cardia Salt). Looked up "where to buy". Looked in the area stores that the website said sell it and could not find it. So I became desperate and just called the phone number on the website and gleened the following information:
To purchase Cardia Salt, call 1-888-422-7342.
Three (3) shakers of Cardia Salt costs $18.99.
Six shakers cost $31.00. Twelve (12) shakers cost $52.00.
Shipping & handling are supposed to be included in these prices.

Okay, I became desperate. I called the phone number on the Nutrition 21 website and simply asked the dear woman who answerd, how I can purchase Cardia Salt. I told her I've been looking in area stores and online. She said that as far as she knows, Cardia Salt can only be purchased through them (Nutrition 21).
Here is the information I was given:
To purchase Cardia Salt, call 1-888-422-7342.
Three (3) shakers of Cardia Salt cost $18.99
Six (6) shakers costs $31.00
Twelve (12) shakers costs $52.00
I was told that the shipping & handling is included in these prices.
I hope this is helpful to you. Now I need to try to inform the others who were looking for it also.
Take care and God bless.

OMG. I just went to the two website where I have purchased the Cardia Salt previously and the product is no longer carried!!! I cannot believe this. Luckily for me, I purchased about 8 jars of this stuff last time. I guess they no longer sell it. Too bad, we really liked it.

FlaJeepGirl wrote on May 3, 2009 at 12:26PM

Yes, it would be very nice to know where to purchase it from. If I am able to locate it, I will let those of you who are also searching for it know where to get it.

chigirl68 wrote on Mar 18, 2009 at 12:42PM

I just read about this product and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know ehre to purchase this from??

Tnvols76 wrote on Mar 6, 2009 at 8:48PM

My husband is a big fan of Cardia also but we have not been able to find it for many years. Where do you order it from?

Great review!

Wow, I've never heard of this but I am going to find it. Thanks for this healthy tip! I don't have high blood pressure but I do like salt on my tomatoes and watermelon too! :)

kid-kansas wrote on Jun 1, 2008 at 10:11PM

This must be different from Sea Salt which I thought was supposed to be better but the sodium in it is the same as regular salt. I too like salt but do without not because of blood problems now but just trying to play it smart. I will have to check this out...Thanks! ;)
