Yes. Products such as Lo-salt use more KCl in place of NaCl
This is a loose question. Since the most well known use for salt is in human diet, we could start an answer in this context. To replace dietary sodium chloride salt completely with potassium could well have fatal effects. Sodium chloride is essential for the function of the nervous system. However a high sodium (ion) intake can also be fatal. In the last few years, low sodium (ion) salts have been marketed. These might have as little 35% of the sodium of typical sodium chloride table salt, the substitute for the missing sodium is sometimes purely potassium chloride and sometimes potassium with some magnesium.
Potassium Chlorite formula is K(ClO2) and for more information about the chemical search for potassium chlorate instead.
Sodium chloride is the main constituent of common table salt. Excessive intake has long been known to generally raise blood pressure, especially in certain individuals.
the sensory division of pns will detect the change of high amount of sodium.and ADH antidiuretic hormone will be released for the reabsorption of sodium.and kidneys will filter sodium and make the urine appropriate to eliminate.
Black salt (kala namak or sanchal) is more tan than black, and has a very strong, sulfuric flavor. Black salt is available in Indian markets, either ground or in lumps. Rock salt (The mineral form of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) or Halite) is typically colorless to yellow. Halite is often used both residentially and municipally for managing ice. On a cooking related note, if you're making home-made ice cream, use rock salt :)
A table salt substitute such as potassium chloride may be effective.

The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride).
Sodium chloride is salt. Potassium is a soft metal.
Low sodium salt is a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, but the normal salt is only sodium chloride.
LoSalt is a brand of low sodium salt. It is 66% potassium chloride and 33% sodium chloride. People replace their regular sea and rock salts with LoSalt when they have high blood pressure, which can be caused by too much sodium in the diet. Also, due to its potassium content, it can be used to supplement your potassium intake
The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock, it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride). It is sometimes used in water as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations, as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water softener units. KCl is useful as a beta radiation source for calibration of radiation monitoring equipment
The recommended daily intake for sodium chloride is 2,5-5 g.
Use salt substitute (potassium chloride) instead of salt. Steam or boil to cook the vegetables, or use canola oil or olive oil which are more healthful than other oils.
Potassium and Sodium. Sodium is the main electrolyte involved in maintaining water balance within the body. When the sodium level becomes too high, an urge to drink water, (I.E. Thirst) develops increasing water intake. When the sodium level becomes low, the kidneys produce more urine to help maintain the balance.
The recommended daily intake for sodium chloride is approx. 5 g.
Sodium is a chemical element indispensable for life and the source is the sodium chloride intake; sodium is essential for the blood system.
