Anyone react to Morton's Lite Salt?? (1/2 potassium chloride, 1/2 salt)

I'm in the home stretch of narrowing down headache/eye-hurting reaction, and I don't think it likely caused by the Morton's Lite Salt, but just figured I'd ask.

Thanks

Mike

Have you tried Redmond's Real Salt? Since table salt of the Morton's variety is stripped of all the trace minerals that usually come with salt - perhaps your body would respond more gracefully if the source of sodium you used came along with them.

I don't know how much of this he was using so I don't know if this applies but I supplement with potassium chloride becasue I don't seem to get enough potassium from diet. Sometimes I find that I simply get a little dehydrated from the intake of so much mineral so fast and get a bit of a headache. Maybe just more water when using the lite salt?

Potassium could be dangerous in too high a quantity if your electrolytes are off but I don't know if a symptom of that is headache.

Morton salt.. bad, go for himalayan crystal salt, imo better than sea salt (you know how clean our seas are...) Regular table salt is 98% NaCl the other 2% bad for your body, nasty fillers and anti caking agents, ohh and there is some NaIO3 (sodium iodate) or NaI (iodine) I forget

Potassium supplementation can be tricky because typical potassium salts (which THESE Albion-based tablets are NOT) can be caustic to stomach and intestinal linings as they dissolve. This is the reason why the government sets a 99mg limit on the amount of potassium a tablet may contain. You must also be sure that your kidneys are functioning normally and are able to regulate your blood's potassium level since excessive serum potassium (hyperkalemia) is not something you want to induce. This Albion Potassium Glycinate complex (which is not a full chelate, since Potassium cannot be fully chelated) offers the safest and most absorbable solution for supplementing a diet's existing Potassium. Eating Potassium-rich food (and avoiding Sodium) is the best solution, but if additional Potassium is required, this is the best solution.

Hmmm...I will have to research after reading others responses but I want to add that I use Morton's Lite FOR headaches in some broth. It takes it away immediately.
