About us

Better Health Has Always Been Our Mission

From our founder’s earliest at-home formulations over a decade ago to the thousands of people who now use it every day, Boulder Salt has always been about supporting whole-body wellness.
It didn’t start with a corporate board or a commercial laboratory; it began in our founder’s kitchen with a simple, personal mission to improve home water quality for long-term health. He was looking for a way to support the body at a cellular level, starting with the water his own family drank every day.

What he ultimately created was a low sodium alkaline salt rooted in functional wellness. By precisely balancing magnesium, potassium, and calcium, he developed a healthy salt alternative that mirrors the body’s natural electrolyte needs. Boulder Salt isn’t just a better salt; it redefined what salt can do for your body – one pinch at a time.

How boulder salt became the "healthy" salt

The Story Behind Our Salt

Bruce Neeld didn’t set out to create a new salt – he set out to solve a problem.   

What started as a chemist’s deep dive into water quality evolved into something much bigger: an electrolyte-rich blend of salts that supports balance, wellness, and better health overall. It elevated the very definition of what salt should be – to an entirely new level!

I love the taste of this salt on scrambled eggs! The fact that it is a low sodium salt is not obvious from the taste, which is far better than any other low sodium salts. It also makes for a nice electrolyte drink...I added a pinch of lemon and a tsp of sugar and made my own sports drink.

Best salt for those who need a salt restricted diet. This boulder salt replaces nutrients, potassium, magnesium, electrolytes in my filtered water. . I purchased it for those reasons and put it in my filtered water to replace the nutrients, etc., that are filtered out. I am actually getting more electrolytes, potassium, magnesium all of the nutrients in my water using just a pinch of this salt. I will never buy any other kind of salt. I have not used salt in my diet in about 20 years because my blood pressure went up about then. I restricted myself to everything low sodium or no sodium. This is such a treat for me to put salt and pepper on my food again, I highly recommend it…

The mineral content of this is very similar to electrolyte hydration sports drink mixes. I add 1/4 teaspoon or so to a glass of water with Stur. This makes the flavored water taste thicker and fuller. Actually it doesn't taste very salty at all. I like that I can independently adjust my water's flavor and electrolytes depending on my current needs or tastes.

My daughter was diagnosed with POTS so salt became very important to her health and well-being. (We were) trying a lot of hydration drinks - however 99% of them have sulphites in them. Then I typed in to Google "salt for people with POTS" and you came up, so I have ordered and I cannot thank you enough! The salt works absolutely perfectly - no more horrible drinks - just the salt makes life so much easier and it has helped her so much, especially with the migraines that go along with POTS. All she does it put some of your salt under her tongue and then drink a cup of water and the headache is at bay. The constant sitting down from low blood pressure seems to have eased a lot. So, I just wanted to say thank you and how pleased I am that I have done my research and your (salt) popped up!

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.

Can I mix Boulder Salt with my sports drink? Or add it to just plain water?

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. However, Boulder Salt is alkaline, so if you add it to an acidic sports drink (which many are), you can expect to see the drink temporarily “bubble” or foam-up.

Athletes have used Boulder Salt® during all phases of a competitive event – whenever they are accustomed to drinking water or another sports drink. It’s balanced level of electrolytes make it an ideal addition to your electrolyte replacement regime. It can help you shore up electrolytes, hydrate quickly and help prevent or eliminate cramping.


If you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition, consult your physician.

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.

Health Related Questions
Is Boulder Salt a good way to reduce sodium in my diet?

Yes. Boulder Salt® has nearly ½ the sodium per serving than traditional table salt. And it has a ratio of potassium to sodium, that helps the body maintain a healthy blood pressure.

YES! Boulder Salt® is much lower in sodium chloride than traditional table salt , sea salt, and Himalayan pink salt – which are all over 95% sodium, making Boulder Salt a much healthier alternative!

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. Unlike traditional table sale and sea salt, Boulder Salt® is alkaline.

General Questions
Can Boulder Salt be used in place of other salts in cooking and baking?

Absolutely! Boulder Salt® can be used as a 1:1 replacement for any other salt in food preparation, baking and cooking.

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.

In this video Dr. Ahmed Stowers explains the role that Boulder Salt® plays in his treatment of dehydrated patients.

Boulder Salt® is available here on our website, on Amazon, and in several states including California, Colorado, Hawaii – Kona,  Massachusetts.
