Clinical Research on Crystal Salt

A double-blind placebo clinical study tested the body’s reaction to the ingestion of common sea salt versus the ingestion of Himalayan salt. The purpose of this study, conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, was to evaluate Himalayan salt as a safe and effective all-natural mineral supplement.

Fenestra Labs Study, Overview

This study was performed by FENESTRA RESEARCH LABS clinical study personnel on sight in Las Vegas, Nevada. The OPTIMAL WELLNESS TEST portion of this research was done using proprietary devices and methodologies developed by FENESTRA RESEARCH LABS.

This was a 30-day, 70-subject study drawn from a large population of subjects in good general health. The patients were randomized into two groups, 50-subjects on live Himalayan Salt and 20-subjects taking a generic sea salt respectively. The group of 20 subjects was the Placebo control. The group of 50 subjects was the Test group.

The Test Group consumed a solution prepared for them by Fenestra Research Labs staff of healthcare professionals in advance, of brine (sole) made with Himalayan Salt. Each subject in the Test Group consumed every morning one (1) teaspoon of the prepared sole solution stirred well into to an eight (8) ounce glass of purified water upon rising, on an empty stomach. The Test Subjects did not consume any other drink, vitamin, supplements, or food for the next one half hour minimum time.

The Control Group consumed a solution prepared for them in advance by Fenestra Research Labs staff of healthcare professionals, a brine made with generic sea salt. Each subject in the Control Group consumed every morning one (1) teaspoon of the prepared brine solution stirred well into to an eight (8) ounce glass of purified water upon rising on an empty stomach. The Control subjects did not consume any other drink, vitamin, supplements, or food for the next one half hour minimum time.

Baseline data was collected from each client having a clean body before they were provided the product. Healthcare professionals with Optimal Wellness Test research experience collected this data. Staff consists of experienced hospital, doctor, and private healthcare professionals.

Baseline Test #1 consists of:

Optimal Wellness Test
(urine and saliva samples)
• Blood pressure
• Pulse
• Temperature
• Respiration
• Signed consent for testing and products

The above Baseline tests were re-run at the 14-day and 30-day of this study for analysis, comparison, and evaluation.

Optimal Wellness Test: The Optimal Wellness Analyzer is an analytical system that applies cutting edge science to evaluate health at the cellular level. Objective testing procedures are the basis for this analysis, so there is no subjective input from the tester. A computer-based software program provides printouts with the cellular imbalances brought to light. The Optimal Wellness Test runs a combination of 39 tests run on non-fasting urine and non-fasting saliva.

CONCLUSION: At the baseline testing for this study, all 70 subjects Optimal Wellness Test numbers presented in the red zone, indicating at least 35% away from normal Wellness numbers in Mineralization, Oxidative Stress Indicators, and Hydration.

Original Himalayan Salt Study Group Numbers: Mineralization - 58% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), Remaining 56% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range).

Oxidative Stress - 44% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), Remaining 56% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range).

Hydration - 49% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), Remaining 51% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range).

Generic Sea Salt Study Group Numbers: Mineralization - 0% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), 16% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range), and the remaining 84% still in the Red Zone (at least 35% out of Wellness range).Oxidative Stress - 4% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), 19% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range), and the remaining 77% still in the Red Zone (at least 35% out of Wellness range).

Hydration - 6% in the Green zone of Wellness (within 5% of normal range), 13% in the Yellow Zone of Wellness (within 15% of normal range) and the remaining 81% still in the Red Zone (at least 35% out of Wellness range).

CONCLUSION: Himalayan Salt, was shown to be a highly effective product for the normalizing of mineralization in the human body. It has also shown to be effective in helping to stabilize pH and Oxidative Stress numbers in the human body. Hydration indicators showed an average of ten percent increase over the course of this study.

Himalayan Salt, nor its ingredients, have shown any known adverse side effects or organ system involvement, contraindications, or interactions with any food or drug, allowing the product to be used for extended periods of time. The time course and strength of its effects make it a viable alternative to common sea salt.
