You’ve Been Lied to About Salt: The Truth About Mitochondria, Minerals, and Chronic Fatigue
🧂 The Salty Truth: Why Table Salt Is Damaging Your Health
Salt’s Ancient Power—and Modern Corruption
Salt was once so valuable, it became currency. The word “salary” comes from salarium—Roman pay in salt. Ancient cultures revered salt for preservation, healing, and survival.
But the white salt in your shaker today? It’s a chemically altered industrial product—not a real food.
⚠️ The Problem with Table Salt (Sodium Chloride)
What It Is:
-97–99% sodium chloride
-Bleached, refined, and chemically treated
-Contains aluminum-based anti-caking agents
-Stripped of all minerals—leaving only sodium
What It Causes:
1. Hypertension:
A 2020 meta-analysis confirmed a dose-response relationship between sodium chloride intake and elevated blood pressure.
Source: BMJ, 2020 (PMID: 32238393)
2. Mitochondrial dysfunction:
Processed salt disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and reduces ATP energy production.

3. Calcium loss and mineral depletion:
Without mineral balance, sodium robs the body of magnesium and calcium, leading to long-term mineral starvation.
✅ The Power of Unrefined Sea Salt
Natural sea salts are harvested through solar evaporation and retain their original trace mineral content. These minerals help support:
-Hydration and fluid balance
-Electrolyte stability
-Energy metabolism
-Hormone and adrenal function
-Mitochondrial power production
Popular Natural Salt Comparison
Redmond Real Salt
Source: Utah Ancient Seabed
60+ minerals. Mild flavor. Good for general use.
Celtic Sea Salt
Source: Coastal France
70+ minerals. Moist texture. High in magnesium.
Himalayan Salt
Source: Pakistani salt mines
80+ minerals. Pink from iron content. Great for mineral support.
Baja Gold Sea Salt
Source: Sea of Cortez
91+ minerals. Highest density and diversity of trace elements. Solar-evaporated and ultra-pure.
🌊 Why Baja Gold Is in a Class of Its Own
Baja Gold is harvested naturally from the Sea of Cortez and contains over 91 biologically active trace minerals. These include:
-Magnesium (ATP production)
-Potassium (cell membrane potential)
-Calcium (nerve signaling)
-Zinc (immunity)
-Boron (bone health)
-Lithium (mood regulation)
-Selenium (thyroid and antioxidant activity)
-Vanadium (blood sugar control)
-Strontium, Chromium, Molybdenum, and many more
These minerals exist in microscopic yet vital amounts. Research shows that even minor deficiencies can impair cellular communication, energy, detoxification, and hormonal balance.
“You only need trace amounts—but if they’re missing, your cellular machinery malfunctions.”
— Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Laureate
🚨 Salt Deficiency and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Contrary to mainstream belief, salt restriction is often harmful. Emerging studies show:
Increased insulin resistance in low-salt diets
Diabetes Care, 2010 (PMID: 20133474)
-Lowered energy production due to electrolyte imbalance
-Adrenal fatigue, dizziness, and chronic fatigue linked to sodium loss and mineral depletion
Salt is vital to structured water and membrane voltage in your mitochondria. Without salt, your cells can’t generate energy efficiently.
🧠 Not All Salts Are Created Equal
If you're still using table salt, you're flooding your system with pure sodium chloride and nothing else. This creates a dangerous mineral imbalance that contributes to fatigue, hormone disruption, and chronic inflammation.
Unrefined salts like Baja Gold contain the full periodic table in trace mineral form—everything your mitochondria, adrenals, and immune system need to function.
✅ Try Baja Gold Sea Salt — nature’s original electrolyte.
Perfect for adrenal cocktails, mineral water, cooking, or fasting.
