Salt substitutes present a healthy alternative for reducing salt intake, decreasing the risk of hypertension without increasing low blood pressure episodes, according to a new study. Switching out regular salt for a salt substitute can lower the incidence of high blood pressure in the elderly wit

This study sought to assess the effects of a salt substitute (62.5% NaCl, 25% KCl, and 12.5% flavorings) on incidence of hypertension and hypotension among older adults with normal blood pressure.

It sounds like this is specifically for people with hypertension that require low sodium diets. In the case of someone who’s already in a high risk category the calculus is probably a bit different.
