Boulder Salt has 40% less Sodium than Regular Salt…

 

With the 5 proven benefits of a low sodium diet: (source)

  1. Reduced Blood Pressure: One of the most significant benefits of reducing sodium intake is its impact on blood pressure. Excessive sodium (without the four complementary electrolytes alongside) causes the body to retain water, increasing the volume of blood and, consequently, blood pressure. Lowering sodium intake (or ensuring the four complementary electrolytes are taken in along with it) can help reduce blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  2. Heart Health: A low sodium diet can help reduce the chances of heart disease. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions. By managing sodium intake, individuals can significantly reduce the risk.
  3. Kidney Health: The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating sodium levels in the body. Excessive sodium intake can overwork the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney disease. A low sodium diet helps preserve kidney function and prevent related diseases.
  4. Reduced Risk of Osteoporosis: High sodium intake can lead to calcium loss in the urine, potentially contributing to osteoporosis. A low sodium diet helps maintain calcium balance and bone health.
  5. General Well-being: Lower sodium intake (or combined in the right ratio with the four complementary electrolytes),  is associated with a healthier diet overall, as it often leads to increased consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which provide essential nutrients and antioxidants

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.

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.

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® 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. 

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. 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.

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.
