of 75% sodium chloride (regular salt) and 25% potassium chloride.

After a follow-up period of about five years, the group using the salt substitute had a 14% lower incidence of another stroke compared to the group using regular salt. Even more strikingly, when looking specifically at hemorrhagic strokes—the type most strongly influenced by high blood pressure—the salt substitute group had a remarkable 33%
