Company Summary

A simple, low-cost solution to hypertension, a $200B American problem with a global $47 trillion price-tag. Its design addresses several key health issues for the obese, pregnant, newborn, fetal, elderly and aging. It replaces table salt to produce real health benefits, not deficits. Hooked on its richer, better taste, users increase their potassium intake to lower blood pressure and hypertension. Our goal: totally replace table salt.
