Celtic Sea Salt Shortage Continues

We finally got our next shipment of the Celtic Sea Salt in today. I should have realized that it would take this long when they warned me that there would be a 4 month wait, lol. It looks like they haven’t resolved their shortage issues quite yet.
I got a whopping 1200 bags this time around, and we are offering them at only $14.75 each. As soon as I put them up on our website, they started to sell like hot cakes.
I have 15 bags in my pantry, because I use it endlessly. One of the reasons why it is so popular is because this particular Celtic Sea Salt is void of Microplastics.
If you remember last time, I came across this study at the link here, where they tested for Microplastics in 39 different sea salt brands. 90% of the Sea Salt brands tested, had crazy amounts of these Nano-Microplastic particles within them.
I know that many of you keep up on this type of thing, but many of us just buy regular Sea Salt from Walmart thinking it’s ok, because it’s Sea Salt, which is way better than Table Salt, as Table Salt is known to be horrendous for the human body.
The problem with Microplastics, is that it gets into our system and it creates inflammation and other problems, because they can act as endocrine disruptors. Microplastics take about 500 years or so to break down, and we want to limit our exposure to them.
I understand that Microplastics are everywhere, including in the air that we breathe. However, if I have the ability to reduce the amount of Microplastics that I consume, I am going to do it. For example, in this study, the MP’s for one brand of Sea Salt was 13,629 MP’s in 1 KG of salt. That is absolutely insane. The next highest one was almost 1700 MP’s in 1KG, then 718, 402, 366, 354, and so on. A good portion of these brands have well over 100 MP’s in 1KG of Sea Salt.
I do not recommend consuming the typical sea salt from the Grocery store, unless they have this Celtic Sea Salt available. Regular Sea Salt can come from polluted areas of the ocean, and chances are it will have a lot of these Microplastics within it.
In this study, only three brands of investigated salts, Taiwan (refined sea salt), China mainland (refined rock salt), and France (unrefined sea salt produced by solar evaporation), did not contain any microplastic particles in both replicate samples. All other salt samples contained microplastic particles.
As many of you probably know, Cetic Sea Salt comes from France, and I am pretty certain that it was the Celtic Sea Salt that didn’t contain any microplastics in the study. From being in this industry for so long, I know the owner at the Celtic Sea Salt company, who I have met at various trade shows on the circuit now and again. So, I contacted her.
Keep in mind that they are a very natural and conscious company. They have 8 different kinds of sea and cave salts from all around the world that they sell. Only two of them contain zero Microplastics. I just wanted their Celtic Sea Salt from France, and it just so happens that their fine ground Celtic Sea Salt was one of the two that tested to have zero Microplastics, just like the study conveyed. The coarse one only had a number of 6 in a KG, which is nothing compared to all these other Sea Salts in this study that were in the hundreds and thousands. This small number of 6 MP’s, may have even been from the air, that number is so low.
So, we’ve finally got them back in stock, and what we are offering to you today is the Fine Ground Celtic Sea salt, which has zero Microplastics, for only $14.75 each.
