Salt (Sea)

Sea salt sensitivity may stem from trace minerals, environmental residues, or high sodium levels. Avoid for 8 weeks, try supplements like probiotics or electrolyte balancers, and use alternatives like table salt, Himalayan pink salt, or kosher salt.

🌿 What is Sea Salt?
Sea salt is a type of salt harvested through the evaporation of seawater. It retains trace minerals like magnesium and calcium, giving it a slightly different taste and texture compared to table salt.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Sea Salt?
Sensitivity to sea salt may result from:

• Trace Minerals: Magnesium, calcium, or other minerals in sea salt may cause reactions.
• Environmental Residues: Impurities or contaminants from seawater can irritate sensitive systems.
• Sodium Levels: High sodium content may contribute to intolerance.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

• Avoid sea salt for 8 weeks and monitor symptoms.
• Substitute with other salts like table salt or Himalayan salt, if tolerated.
• Retest after 8 weeks to reassess your sensitivity.

💊 Supplements for Sea Salt Sensitivity

• Magnesium Chelate: Balances mineral levels if magnesium is a trigger.
  
• Probiotics: Support gut health to manage sensitivity.
  
• Electrolyte Balancers: Help regulate sodium and trace mineral levels.
