Tokyo, April 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061064) titled 'Does a salt substitute seasoning reduce the urinary Na/K ratio in healthy young adults ?' on April 1.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Uncontrolled

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Aichi Gakuin University

Condition: Condition - Excess sodium intake and low potassium intake (risk factors for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases) Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To evaluate the feasibility and effect of a potassium-enriched salt substitute seasoning on urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio in healthy adults. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will consume a potassium-enriched salt substitute (NaCl/KCl) furikake seasoning (2.0 g per dose, twice daily, total 4 g/day) for 10 consecutive days. The salt substitute contains approximately 50% potassium chloride and 50% sodium chloride. Participants will be instructed to use the seasoning with meals (e.g., with rice or side dishes) . The second urine before and during the intervention were collected (3-5 times), and analyzed for urinary Na/K ratio.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Healthy students of Aichi Gakuin University aged from 18 to 25 years Key exclusion criteria - History of kidney disease Current treatment for heart failure or hypertension Allergy to any components of the seasoning (e.g., sesame, spices) Use of medications or supplements affecting sodium or potassium balance (e.g., diuretics, potassium supplements) Target Size - 35

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 03 Month 31 Day Date of IRB - 2026 Year 03 Month 14 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 04 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2029 Year 03 Month 01 Day
