Rarely does any ground rock in the world contain as many minerals and microelements as the crystal salt of the Himalayan Mountains, whose importance in medicine and health is already widely known throughout the world.

For example, Mg (magnesium) - regulates the metabolic process in the body, which in turn helps absorb vitamins C, D, and calcium. I (iodine) is a basic component of thyroid hormones and participates in the synthesis of hormones that are very important for metabolism, - maintaining normal skin moisture.
Fe (iron), and Zn (zinc) participate in the process of cell regeneration, as well as improve the health of hair, nails, and skin. Along with Se (selenium), - they are powerful antioxidants that play a vital role in strengthening the immune system and thyroid function.

Salt crystals are colored by by-products that distort their authenticity.
The pollution of sea waters also has a negative impact. Recent studies show the presence of large amounts of microplastic particles. It would not be recommended to use such a product in the diet.
