It is imperative to understand the difference between organic and inorganic sodium. Organic sodium comes from the plant kingdom and is a free sodium, unattached to a chloride. Inorganic sodium (table salt) comes from rock and is extremely harmful to metabolic function. Sodium chloride (table salt), whether it be rock salt or sea salt, cannot be used by the body! It is extremely harmful and actually requires the use of organic sodium to protect the body from its effects.
