- Ninety-eight percent of Himalayan salt is sodium chloride, while the remaining percentage accounts for trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and vanadium
- There are 84 trace minerals in Himalayan salt that all offer various benefits. Here’s a rundown of five of the most important trace minerals in this salt
Himalayan salt has to offer versus sea salt:
| Sea Salt | Himalayan Salt |
|---|---|
| Source: Sea salt is obtained by collecting and evaporating water from seas, oceans or saltwater lakes using a man-made pool. After the water evaporates, salt residues develop. | Source: Himalayan salt is mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in the Punjab region of Pakistan |
| Texture and Taste: Sea salt is coarse, but with a grayish to white color. It also has a strong taste when taken directly, although it is different from that of Himalayan salt. | Texture and Taste: Himalayan salt is a coarse and red to pinkish salt that tastes quite strong if tasted directly. |
| Elements in the Salt: Sea salt also contains trace minerals, but there is a high risk that it has traces of heavy metals like lead. This is due to pollution that can negatively affect the quality of water in areas where the salt is mined. | Elements in the Salt: Trace minerals and other elements are found in Himalayan salt |

- Sodium: The body needs it for various functions, as it helps with contracting and relaxing muscles, preventing dehydration and low blood pressure levels and sending nervous system impulses.
- Calcium: It’s heralded for its capabilities in protecting heart muscles, building strong bones, gums and teeth, inhibiting the onset of kidney stones, premenstrual depression and obesity, regulating blood pressure levels and promoting a healthy alkaline pH level.
- Magnesium: This is a vital component of the body’s biochemical processes. Magnesium also plays a role in promoting proper formation of bones and teeth, relaxing blood vessels, enhancing muscle and nerve function, regulating blood sugar and insulin sensitivity and promoting creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or the body’s energy currency.
- Iron: It serves in promoting immune system strength and energy production. Iron’s main function, however, lies in hemoglobin production that is an important step in oxygen transportation throughout the body.
- Potassium: Himalayan salt contains higher amounts of potassium compared to other natural and unprocessed salts. This helps your body maintain a balanced potassium-to-salt ratio.
These trace minerals are responsible for Himalayan salt’s unique taste, which is different from table salt, albeit the two are chemically similar. Himalayan salt to sea salt, probably because of the unique flavor that these deliver to food. However, there are distinct characteristics that set these two types of salt apart from each other.
