potassium chloride
Sodium chloride alternative
Potassium chloride is a salt compound used in fertilizers, food processing, and medicine.
It serves as a sodium-free salt substitute for people restricting sodium intake.
In hospitals, it's administered intravenously to treat potassium deficiency.
In high doses, potassium chloride stops the heart and is used in lethal injections.
