The safety of bamboo salt on human body was evaluated by a clinical study intended for 13 volunteers, who took 10 or 15 grams of bamboo salt daily for 8 weeks in addition to the regular dietary salt intake. Blood pressure and serum electrolytes(Na, K, Cl, Ca, Pi) were investigated.
No significant changes of blood pressure were observed in 5 volunteers who took 10 grams of bamboo salt. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures measured before and after taking bamboo salt were at range of 115~140 mmHg and 75~101 mmHg, 118~144 mmHg and 75~104mmHg respectively. Blood pressures observed in 8 volunteers, who took 15 grams of bamboo salt, were also not significantly changed. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of them were at range of 106~132 mmHg and 65~88 mmHg, 114~124 mmHg and 73~81mmHg respectively.
The changes of Na, K, Cl, and Pi in blood serum were not also observed.
