The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a campaign to reduce salt consumption, recommending no more than five grams per adult per day. However, most people consume twice that amount.

WHO advises adults not to exceed two grams of sodium per day (equivalent to five grams of salt), yet the average intake ranges from 9 to 12 grams daily. "It is estimated that 2.5 million deaths could be prevented each year if global salt consumption were reduced to the recommended level," states the health organization, which has set a goal to decrease worldwide salt intake by 30% by 2025.

Experimental models and human studies have demonstrated that consuming plant-based Salicornia salt helps lower blood pressure.

Research on incorporating Salicornia salt into different food matrices has shown that replacing 1% of NaCl with an equal amount of Salicornia perennis can achieve a 70% reduction in sodium content, significantly contributing to the overall reduction of dietary salt intake [Clavel-Coibrié E et al. Foods] [Sood S et al. Food Chem].

A pilot clinical trial conducted in Portugal on young, healthy individuals found that substituting table salt with plant-based Salicornia salt was associated with a reduction in sodium excretion in the intervention group, followed by a significant decrease in brachial and aortic systolic and diastolic blood pressure [Pereira T et al. Foods].
