Better Salt = Better Hydration. Here’s Why.

A few years ago, we made a simple switch in our kitchen that ended up changing the way we think about health: we ditched iodized table salt and started using Redmond Real Salt.

Like most people, we grew up thinking all salt was the same. But after doing some digging (and feeling increasingly frustrated with mood swings, fatigue, and inflammation), we learned that not all salt is created equal.

Most conventional table salt is highly processed—it’s stripped of its natural minerals and then “fortified” with synthetic iodine. Sounds healthy, right? Except it turns out that this kind of salt can do more harm than good, especially when it comes to hormone balance, hydration, and overall wellness. When your body takes in sodium without the trace minerals it’s meant to come with, it can actually throw off your electrolyte balance, cause water retention, and contribute to adrenal and thyroid dysfunction over time. And while iodine is important, the synthetic kind added to salt isn’t always well absorbed—and can even interfere with natural iodine pathways in the body.

That’s when we discovered Redmond Real Salt—a pure, unrefined sea salt harvested right here in the U.S. from an ancient seabed in Utah. It's loaded with over 60 naturally occurring trace minerals that your body actually recognizes and can use. No additives. No bleaching. Just real salt, the way nature made it.

We started using it in all our cooking, and honestly? We haven’t looked back.

So when we started creating our own drink mixes, it only made sense to include the same salt we trusted in our kitchen. Redmond Real Salt is a foundational ingredient in all of our hydration blends—because electrolytes matter, but so does quality.

You might even notice little specks or “rocks” at the bottom of your cup after you mix up your drink—that’s totally normal. Those tiny mineral deposits are what make this salt so special. They’re real, and your body loves them.

This isn’t just salt. It’s one of the ways we’re helping you hydrate better, feel better, and live better—naturally.
