MANILA, Philippines - Valentine’s Day kicked off at Harbor Square, CCP Complex on Roxas Boulevard with more than 200 men and women of all ages joining the fitness and wellness activities organized by Pansalt. Participants grooved with aerobic steps choreographed by fitness instructors.
Pansalt is exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Accord International, Inc. According to product manager Ria Mateo, they entered into an exclusive distributorship agreement with Finland-based Oriola-KD for a breakthrough product for Filipino consumers. Pansalt only has 56 to 57-percent sodium chloride compared to common salt which is 98 to100-percent sodium chloride. It has the same good taste and technological properties as common salt and has no bitter aftertaste, characteristic of other low-sodium salts.
According to “Doktor ng Bayan” Rey Salinel, most Filipinos consume up to 10g of salt or sodium chloride in its various forms, an excessive amount compared to the recommended daily dose of 1,000-2,500 mg. High-dose intake of common salt leads to higher risks of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, stomach cancer, osteoporosis, and kidney disease, among others.
Pansalt is made nutritive by essential minerals potassium and magnesium — two important minerals for a healthy heart, not contained in common salt. More than reducing sodium chloride intake, it also markedly enhances the positive effect of blood pressure-lowering medications.
Pansalt is available at selected Mercury Drug and Watsons outlets and in the following establishments: Cash & Carry, Cherry Foodarama, Eunilaine Foodmart, Health Express, Landmark Supermarket, Makati Supermart (Alabang), NCCC Supermarket (Davao), Oro Rama Supermarket (CDO), Palms Country Club (Alabang), Pioneer Centre Supermart, Robinsons Supermarket, Royal Subic Duty Free, Rustan’s Supermarket, Shoppersville (Katipunan), Shopwise, Tropical Hut Foodmart, and Unimart.
