Can we order pink rock salt for hyperkalemia (high in potassium)?

We suggest you avoid any salt or seasoning that may contain added potassium, including potassium chloride, which is sometimes used as a salt substitute in this condition. Himalayan pink salt contains trace amounts of potassium, which can contribute to higher potassium intake. While the potassium content in Himalayan pink salt is relatively low compared to other foods, it's still advisable for individuals with hyperkalemia to minimise their potassium intake as much as possible.

It's typically recommended to use salts that are pure sodium chloride (table salt) and do not contain added potassium chloride or potassium-based additives. These salts do not contribute to potassium intake and can help maintain potassium levels within safe limits.

Please note this is based on our limited knowledge and research; we suggest you consult a healthcare professional before deciding.
