Infusion solutions composed from mineral salts (as Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium and Potassium Chloride) and glucose, administered intravenously, are the best and the quickest way how to deliver fluids and medication throughout a patient‘s body. An increasing number of people suffers from kidney failure. The dialysis treatment is required to remove waste products from the blood. Thanks to a semi-permeable membrane (specially produced filters or peritonea) the waste products are transfered from the blood to the dialysis solution (prepared from Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium and Potassium Chlorides, Sodium Bicarbonate and Glucose). Once the blood is cleaned from the waste products it flows back to the blood flow.

Besides breast milk, infant formula is the only other milk product nutritionally acceptable for infants under the age of one year. The most commonly used infant formulas contain purified cow's milk whey and casein as a protein source, a blend of vegetable oils as a fat source, lactose as a carbohydrate source, vitamins and mineral salts.

Liquid and solid drugs along with nutritional supplements are used every day in human and veterinarian applications. Mineral salts in such products aid to positively influence the biochemical process in the organism.

Drugs produced by living cells and utilized to treat disease or provide immunity have become increasingly popular due their greater effect than that provided by classic synthetic drugs. During the production process of cultivating, purifying and concentrating the cells to produce a target biological molecule, mineral salts such as Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Ammonium Sulphate, Sodium Carbonate and several others are used (during the Upstream process).

To separate pure water from sea and/or contaminated waters, bottling companies use reverse osmosis for purification. Mineral salts are introduced into the deionized water to provide functionality such as taste profile as well as health and wellness benefits. As the existence of bromates in bottled water is under the control of mineral salts such as Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium Chloride, Sodium and Potassium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Sulphate) with a low bromide content needed to be used.

Mold contamination is a serious problem amongst bakers and as such they use Calcium Propionate in bakery products as a mold inhibitor. To reduce the Sodium content in bakery products, some Sodium Chloride is often replaced by Potassium Chloride.
