Boulder Salt Performance

Although many people think sodium is unhealthy, the truth is that the body needs sodium to function properly. Sodium is vital to regulate fluid balance in the body, and this is especially important for athletes because without it, leg or muscle cramps can occur. Salt can indeed stop cramps. Maintaining sodium levels is important for athletes and endurance workers to function at their highest level.

When you sweat you lose water, sodium, and other electrolytes. The water is drawn from blood plasma, which then reduces blood volume. This forces the cardiovascular system to work harder to pump blood to the areas that need it, which causes fatigue and muscle cramping. This strain can significantly impact athletic performance.

To balance electrolytes and prevent muscle cramps, it is vital to replace the fluid you lose when you sweat. If the needed electrolytes are not also replaced, the body can’t effectively regulate fluid balance. Without enough sodium in the body, that added water dilutes the blood, but the body is not able to deliver it to the cells that need it, and it can’t prevent muscle cramps. Athletes who rehydrate with water plus the right ratio of balanced electrolytes (salts), can experience faster times and more endurance than those who use water alone.

Boulder Salt is a blend of six balanced electrolytes, including calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These important minerals in Boulder Salt work together to enhance performance by supporting healthy hydration. This precise mix also comes together to make a healthy salt that will help your performance and prevent leg or muscle cramps.  It also tastes great on food!  In fact, 4 out of 5 people in a blind taste test chose Boulder Salt over both sea salt and traditional salt.

The mix of minerals in Boulder Salt has a mild, well-rounded salt flavor that tastes terrific on food.  It doesn’t, however, change the taste of water at all when you add it to make a rehydration solution.  Boulder Salt adds a combination of balanced electrolytes to your water for a clean, refreshing drink.

If you are looking to boost your performance through optimal hydration, help prevent leg and muscle cramps, without a salty taste, Boulder Salt with its balanced electrolytes is the perfect product for you!
