The story behind our salt

Once upon a time, our founder, Bruce Neeld, had reason to look closely at the content of his local municipal water supply. What he found made him very uncomfortable, and laid the groundwork for Boulder Salt…

Our Happy Customers

Boulder Salt is by far the best sports product I’ve used over the years due to its simplicity. By adding a little to my water and recovery meals, I’ve been able to reduce or eliminate cramping before, during and after workouts! It allows me to customize dosing for my own culinary tastes, keeping my activity nutrition simple and healthy. This is a bare bones product that caters to the most basic of my bodies needs without compromising performance.

I like using Boulder Salt because I know I’m getting more than salt – I’m getting important minerals as well. I also like the taste. I’m a salt fan and the flavor of Boulder Salt is really nice , especially on my morning eggs!

After I started using Boulder Salt I noticed a significant improvements on my runs. I wasn’t feeling tired after my long runs and had more energy during my runs. I use a 1/4 tsp every morning in either my almond or coconut milk.

I’ve had the great fortune of meeting Sue, Jeff, and Bruce. I’ve been a runner for nearly 27 years, and 13 years of that as a professional marathoner. Boulder Salt has allowed me to recover faster, enrich my basic levels of nutrition – and helping me improve my general quality of training and every day energy levels. No joke. It actually works.

Learn More About Boulder Salt’s Potassium Magnesium Blended Salt

You will find the origin of Boulder Salt in Colorado, where it was invented by Bruce Neeld. The story of this ground-breaking salt begins in the ’90s when Bruce found contaminants in his municipal drinking water. This inspired him to make it cleaner and healthier. As a biochemist and scientist with extensive water knowledge he knew a great deal about what he was dealing with, so he developed a system that distilled it and then treated it with a post-carbon filter. This removed the contaminants he was concerned about, but it left him with water that was stripped of all minerals, giving it a flat taste and slightly acidic pH.

To solve the taste problem Bruce started blending electrolytes in search of a mixture that would make his clean water palatable, nutritious, and have an alkaline pH. Working with calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium, he came up with a balanced salt blend that not only improved the nutrition of the water but also made it taste great! With the help of friends and family he discovered that, outside of water this salt was tasty and flavorful on food and in cooking as well. At this point he realized he was onto something.

The salt got more and more enthusiastic approval from the people who tried it, especially athletes, who raved about how it helped them and their performance. Bruce’s salt did much more than perfect his clean water, it boosted athletic performance and also made a superior replacement for table salt that is tastier and healthier!

Today that salt mix is known as Boulder Salt, and enthusiasm about its performance, health, taste and hydration qualities is growing rapidly!
