A stable sodium-free aqueous seasoning solution of agreeable salty taste, adapted as a substitute for common salt in cooked and uncooked foodstuffs, containing purified water, an organic acid, a potassium salt, a calcium salt, and a magnesium salt. The mineral solution provides a dietary supplementation of magnesium, calcium, and potassium—indispensable minerals of a diet—to which colorants, natural essences and artificial essences (singly or in combination), and low concentrations of sodium chloride may be added.

A substance including the chemical structures of bicyclo[3.2.1]octan or the chemical structures of kaurene for the use in a dietary supplementation or as a constituent in a medicament for the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension and / or the metabolic syndrome. The unique chemical structures of bicyclo[3.2.1]octan alone or in a kaurene structure provides the substances, such as e.g. steviol, isosteviol and stevioside with the capability of enhancing or potentiating the secretion of insulin in a plasma glucose dependent manner. The substances including these unique chemical structures also have the capability of reducing the glucagon concentration in the blood and / or lowering the blood pressure thereby providing a self-regulatory treatment system for non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and / or hypertension. In a combination drug which also comprise a soy protein, and / or soy fiber and / or at least one isoflavone these substances act synergistically and such combination drugs are highly useful both prophylacticly or directly in the treatment of e.g. the metabolic syndrome and obesity and has due to the self-regulatory effect a widespread applicability as a dietary supplementation.
