What People Say About Boulder Salt

  • “I have a daughter who was diagnosed with POTS at the beginning of last year, so salt became very important to her health and well-being. While trying a lot of hydration drinks (99% of them have sulphites in them), and 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 using Boulder 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 is put some of your salt under her tongue and then drink a cup of water and the headache is at bay and 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 product popped up!"

  • 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.

  • 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 healthy salt product that caters to the most basic of my bodies needs without compromising performance.

  • “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.”

  • I like using Boulder Salt because I know I’m getting more than salt – I’m getting more than healthy 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!

    Sheridan WolfeShared with Boulder Salt, 2015

  • I use Boulder Salt® in my cooking but most importantly to increase the electrolytes in my diet which I feel helps my hydration. As an athlete - with the increasing spring to summer heat, I enjoy the blend of Boulder Salt® electrolyte content - rather than just pure salt or sodium. I think this is simply a healthier salt alternative for anyone.

    Jim HallbergShared with Boulder Salt, 2015

  • 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 tsp every morning in either my almond or coconut milk.

  • I recently ordered from Boulder Salt Company because I was trying to find a salt that would help me with my condition. I was officially diagnosed with POTS and the symptoms I had been dealing with since my hospital stay were hindering me from my day to day life. After a little over a week of drinking my specialized salt water I noticed changes in my symptoms and this salt has literally changed my circumstances!! I feel almost normal again!! My headaches are at a minimum, dizziness and nausea no longer controlled by prescription medicine, heart palpitations are minimal now!! I can drive again!! I’m still recovering from my other issues, but not having to worry about this one area of my recovery has been a game changer for me!! So if you are looking for something to help you, give Boulder Salt Company a try. Their customer service (Julie) is amazing and the owner (Bruce) is very personable and friendly!! Shipping was fast and reasonable. Thank you so much for making this product!! I hope your business continues to bloom!!

    Now that I’m in my mid 60’s and the summers are hotter and more humid than ever before, I’ve come to rely on Boulder Salt as a crucial part of my daily hydration. It’s been years since I’ve had heat cramps from running in hot weather and my recovery times from exercising are much shorter thanks to Boulder Salt. And it’s cheaper and much better for you than the expensive sports drinks with their sugar and toxic coloring agents. I highly recommend Boulder Salt.

  3. Kathy Motycka (verified buyer) –

    Being all Boulder salt products are made to have the same mineral ratio as our own blood plasma it is in harmony with our bodies so our bodies utilize it more efficiently than other electrolytes promoted by the Carnivore Community. People who are on a salt restrictive diet can use Boulder Salt easier because it has less sodium than table salt. It also does not have unnecessary additives so diabetics and people sensitive to additives can use Boulder Salt also. All sized products come in handy throughout a person’s life journey.

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.
