Potassium chloride. Its salty and lowers blood pressure. Potassium helps the body excrete sodium and it can also relax blood vessels directly recent trial replaced people´s salt to be lower in sodium and higher in potassium. the salt lower in sodium reduced strokes and mortality and the salt only reduced sodium 25%If salt had even less sodium, effect could be even stronger. only swapping salt (still salty) reduced total death. in the US, people eating the most sodium have higher risk of dying; higher potassium associated with lower mortality.
