    Use True Lemon to Season Foods instead of Salt

    We love the taste of salt, but did you know most adults today consume around twice the recommended daily limit* of salt and sodium?

    When salt intake is too high, the kidneys cannot keep up and the salt goes into the bloodstream, where it draws more water into the blood. That increases the volume of blood and raises blood pressure.

    High blood pressure, or hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard and contributes to hardening of the arteries. It increases the risk of heart disease and stroke and can cause congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and blindness.

    Lower-sodium diets can keep blood pressure from rising and can help blood pressure medicines work better.

    True Lemon, True Lime and True Orange are the only all-natural lemon, lime and orange products on the market today that have no salt.

    Adding True products to water is a great alternative to soda and artificially sweetened drinks that often contain sodium. In fact, experts say that 77% of the salt eaten by Americans comes from such processed foods.

    Try a sprinkle of great tasting, 100% natural True Lemon to wake up food flavors instead of salt. It's great on meat, vegetables , even popcorn!

    Of course, preventing high blood pressure is not just about salt. Maintaining a healthy weight, being active, eating healthy fresh foods and alcohol in moderation are also key. But next time, try going for the pepper or the True Lemon and leave excess salt behind.

    *According to the National Institute of Health, the current recommendation is to consume less than 2.4 grams (2,400 milligrams[mg] ) of sodium a day. That equals 6 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of table salt a day.


    "I enjoy True Lemon  and use it on just about everything I eat - including replacing salt in my diet. I have congestive heart failure (CHF) and am not supposed to use it. CHF refers to a serious condition in which the heart becomes an ineffective pump. When this happens, the amount of blood pumped by the heart isn't enough to meet the body's needs for oxygen and other nutrients. Doctors immediately take the patients off of all salt so they won't retain so much fluid in their system. Of course, that makes all food taste bland. I was so very pleased to find True Lemon  . My meals are finally appetizing again!"

    Fan Quotes »

    I just started eating healthier and I thank True Lemon for contributing to my weight loss. I can tell a difference already. I tell everyone about it. I am a fan for life." Maria H., Whitsett NC
    I just have to tell you how much I love your product! I hate the taste of plain water, and it was just too time consuming and expensive for me to be buying lemons all the time. A friend from work told me about True Lemon, and now I drink 5-6 bottles of water a day, all sprinkled with a packet of it. Thank you for helping me to drink less diet soda, and more water!" Kira F.
    Ever since my fiancé had gastric bypass surgery and I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Kidney Disease, we both have excellent reasons to increase our water consumption. True Lemon & Lime are like manna from heaven! We love them and we love to share it with others. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Alysa H.
