All salts get broken down and recombined to be eliminated by your basic water and waste elimination. Pooping and peeing.

Most of the salt is excreted through urine. Non-absorbed salt from food, just like other unneeded waste will go out with feces. Some salt will be lost through sweat/tear gland normal function.
