Notes

Mineral Salt
The only mineral salt or sodium substitute that I have been able to find in Canada is called Salt Free and is made by Windsor. It is made up of potassium chloride, calcium silicate, magnesium carbonate, sugar, and potassium iodide. The potassium content  is 530 milligrams per 1/6 tsp. or 1 g serving. That  is approximately the same as the amount of potassium in one medium banana.
I haven't been able to find out how many milligrams of  calcium or magnesium this mineral salt contains, so I'm thinking it's quite minimal.  Calcium silicate helps with bone, hair, and tooth growth. Magnesium carbonate is helpful in treating muscle cramping  and twitching.
If you are on a sodium-restricted or potassium-restricted diet, please check with your doctor before using any kind of mineral salt.
Collagen
There is a lot of information on the internet that is both for and against the use of collagen powder and tablets.  One thing that most can agree on is that collagen is a good source of protein.
Some of the most popular claims are that it MAY help with joint health, aging skin,  muscle building and fat loss, and digestive health. It is up to you to decide if it is right for you and if it is something you want to spend your money on.
