All of our gourmet salts are traditionally harvested to preserve their natural balance of minerals – a balance that fits ideally with the natural composition of the "natural salt water" that makes up as much as 60% of the human body.
According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water (May 2, 2016).
The composition of the minerals in the water of the body are, not only sodium, but a natural balance of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a host of other essential minerals. In fact, it is the ionic charge across the cell wall between sodium and potassium, often referred to as the sodium pump, that creates the electric charge that accounts for life itself.
