THE healthiest Salt

.... has a powerful blend of electrolytes
to keep you performing at your best

Calcium

Calcium is best known for its role in strengthening bones and teeth but it also plays a role alongside the other key electrolytes you'll find in Boulder Salt - like sodium, magnesium and potassium. Together, they support stronger, smoother muscle contractions, better endurance, and quicker recovery.

The uniquely balanced blend in Boulder Salt helps your muscles perform at their best - whether you’re working out, playing sports, or just staying active.

Sodium

Sodium is a key electrolyte that helps your body hold onto water, keeping you hydrated during exercise. It also helps nerves and muscles communicate, which is essential for smooth movement, quick reactions, and muscle contractions.

When you sweat, you lose sodium. Too little sodium in the blood can lead to fatigue, cramps, or dizziness. Getting the right amount of sodium, along with other key electrolytes in Boulder Salt, helps you stay hydrated, maintain endurance, and perform at your best.

Potassium

Potassium is an essential electrolyte that works alongside sodium to regulate fluid balance in your body. While sodium helps your body retain water, potassium moves that water into your cells, keeping muscles and organs properly hydrated.

It also supports muscle contractions and nerve signals, helping reduce the risk of cramps and supporting smooth, coordinated movement during activity.

Avocados, mangoes, bananas, baked potatoes and yams are great sources, as are raisins and coconut water.

Boulder Salt offers 154 mg of potassium in a single 1/4 teaspoon!

Magnesium

The magnesium in Boulder Salt supports healthy muscle function by helping muscles contract and relax properly. Adequate magnesium allows muscles to release tension instead of staying stuck — a common cause of cramps. It also helps regulate other electrolytes like calcium and potassium, which are essential for balanced muscle activity. Boulder Salt naturally contains magnesium alongside sodium, potassium, and calcium in a balance similar to what your body uses, helping maintain overall electrolyte balance and make cramps less likely.

Boulder Salt is an excellent source of magnesium,  providing 35% of the RDA in a single serving (heaping ¼ teaspoon).

Performance Questions
How is Boulder Salt different from other salt products meant for athletes?

Most performance related salt products on the market are close to 100% sodium. Our bodies need a variety of electrolytes to perform at optimal levels – not just sodium. Boulder Salt provides a robust, alkaline blend of electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. And in a combination that approximates what should naturally exist in the body. This ratio can help athletes optimize their performance. 

It varies depending on your activity level and sweat rate. In general 4 servings is common for everyday use, up to 6 servings for endurance athletes.

If you are under the care of a physician for a medical condition, consult your doctor first.

Boulder Salt is unique in that it can be taken alone, added to water, or mixed with other beverages to up their electrolyte value. It also gives you the option to make your own sports drink – adding flavors and/or sweeteners that work for you.

Yes. If you’re looking to enhance your electrolyte levels, Boulder Salt® is an ideal way to do so! It can be added to both water and sports drinks. You will likely be surprised at how mellow it tastes in water alone. And it will not significantly alter the taste of most beverages.

Boulder Salt® is a soft, mellow-tasting salt. The varying size and shapes of different salts provide a unique taste experience. The tiny calcium and magnesium salts, which are very mild tasting, cover the surface of the sodium and potassium crystals and provide for a mellowing of the familiar “bite” of those salts.

Alkalinizing the body means means shifting your body from an acidic state to a more neutral or alkaline state. Our normal state of being should ideally be slightly alkaline.
However, environmental factors, stress, a diet low in fruits and vegetables or high in meats and other processed foods, and especially carbonated drinks, can all push our systems into an acidic state. When your body is closer to an alkaline state, you’ll experience fewer illnesses, be better prepared to fight off disease, and simply feel better.

Boulder Salt nutrition facts label 

Boulder Salt® looks different from other salts due to the fact that it is made up of a variety of salts, rather than just one type. Both the chemical composition as well as the particle sizes of the various salts used in Boulder Salt® are different. If you looked under a microscope, you’d see that some of the salts look like “boulders”, while others are much smaller. 

Boulder Salt® is a blend of naturally occurring salts including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium , which are all critical on a biological level. 

Where does Boulder Salt come from?

The ingredients in Boulder Salt are chosen based on purity, not location. We take 4 different salts and blend them together in a particular ratio to make Boulder Salt. We only use pharmaceutical grade or USP grade salts. 

1/4 Teaspoon of “regular salt” weighs 1.5g while 1/4 Teaspoon of Boulder Salt weights 2.0g (more dense). Once this difference in density is taken into account, the 40% difference can be shown. For example: A typical brand of salt shows 585 mg. of sodium in 1/4 tsp. (1.5g).

The sodium in 2.0g is given by 585 x 4/3 = 780mg How much less sodium is in Boulder Salt is given by: 780-480=300 300/780 = .385 or 38.5% less (rounds to 40%) 

Boulder Salt has nearly half the sodium of traditional table salt and sea salt. It also has potassium, magnesium and calcium – salts that are all critical on a biological level. (Traditional table salt is 99% sodium). Boulder Salt looks a bit different too, It has a finer texture than most other salts on the market and a more mellow taste.

How much Boulder Salt should I put in my water, or other beverage of choice?

The precise amount of Boulder Salt® to add to your drink depends on your sweat rate. One quarter teaspoon in a 17-20 oz drink is the recommended starting point.

The material you see that doesn’t dissolve is related the larger particle size of magnesium and calcium. It’s around 4% of the total. These particles do readily dissolve when they are exposed to an acidic environment such as in the stomach. They will dissolve right away if you keep them agitated/stirred up and drink the water with them suspended in it.

Why doesn't Boulder Salt have iodine?

We do plan to offer our product in the future, with iodine. Our current formulation does not have iodine because it tends to have a metallic taste when added to water. If used simply on foods, it does not have that strong of an aftertaste. The current formula of Boulder Salt® is intended to be used in both water and on food.
