Most salts are very high in sodium. Too much sodium makes your body hold onto extra water. That extra fluid in your bloodstream puts more pressure on your blood vessels, which can raise blood pressure.
Boulder Salt is the superior salt because it has 40% less sodium than traditional salts. It also provides over 1/3 of your daily magnesium – an essential mineral that helps relax blood vessels and support a healthy blood pressure.
Calcium is best known for its role in strengthening bones and teeth but it brings a whole lot more to the table than most people realize. It helps carry messages between the brain and body, works alongside magnesium for muscle contraction, and is key in both nerve transmission and the release of hormones and enzymes into the bloodstream.
Milk and other dairy products like yogurt and cheese are excellent “go-to” sources of calcium. For non-dairy sources consider kale or collard greens, tofu & molasses.
Boulder Salt has 75 mg of calcium per 1/4 teaspoon.
Sodium is critical to our survival, It plays a role in nutrient absorption and transport, proper nerve conduction, muscle contractions, and maintenance of blood volume and blood pressure. Sodium also works in tandem with potassium to maintain proper balance of fluids in the body.
The first truly healthy salt, Boulder Salt has 40% less sodium than traditional table salt and sea salt. And a balanced ratio of sodium to potassium, which along with magnesium, helps to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
Potassium like sodium, is critical to maintaining good health and proper metabolic function in the human body. It plays a key role in proper hydration, muscle contractions, regulating heart rate and stabilizing blood pressure.
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 plays a crucial role in over 300 metabolic reactions within the human body. It is required for energy production, contributes to the formation of our bones and is needed for our bodies to produce DNA, RNA, and many other important molecules. Like sodium and potassium, magnesium is also involved in nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and heart functioning. Magnesium as also been shown to have a calming effect on the brain and may help in preventing migraines.
Where can you find the best sources of magnesium? Nuts, green leafy vegetables and whole grains are top go-to choices. Boulder Salt® is also an excellent source, providing 35% of the RDA in a single serving (heaping ¼ teaspoon).
Alkaline is the term given to the pH in our body when it is above 7. Our bodies are self-regulating our pH levels every second, but processed foods, pollution and stress increase the acidity (and toxicity).
If you put the focus on eating and drinking more alkaline foods, your body will see fewer health issues, and you’ll just feel better.
Most fruits and vegetables are alkaline, as is green tea. Boulder Salt, unlike traditional table salt and sea salt, is alkaline.
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. 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.
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.
Absolutely! Boulder Salt® can be used as a 1:1 replacement for any other salt in food preparation, baking and cooking.
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.
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. Our levels of lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic are incredibly small compared to pink, grey, or other colored 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.
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.

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.
Boulder Salt® is available here on our website, on Amazon, and in several states including California, Colorado, Hawaii – Kona, Massachusetts.
We currently ship to Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
