- Product testing and documented specifications.
At MIM Limited, we recognize the importance of consistency, transparent product information and meeting agreed customer specifications throughout the supply process.
Himalayan Salt and a Balanced Approach to Health
Sodium is an essential nutrient involved in normal fluid balance, nerve signalling and muscle function. Himalayan Salt can provide sodium and chloride when used as a food ingredient.
- Himalayan Salt is primarily sodium chloride, like other culinary salts.
- Its trace minerals do not make it a proven treatment for diseases.
- Excessive sodium intake can increase blood pressure and cardiovascular health risks.
- Total sodium intake matters more for everyday nutrition than the colour or origin of salt.
