The Science Behind SALTE

SALTE isn’t your average sports drink – it’s a carefully crafted electrolyte sachet formula designed with science in mind. Each sachet contains a potent blend of essential minerals that your body craves for optimal hydration and performance. Here’s what’s inside SALTE’s formula and how it works in the body:

• Sodium (800 mg per sachet): The primary electrolyte lost in sweat, sodium is crucial for maintaining fluid balance and blood volume. It helps your body retain the water you drink, so it actually stays in your system to hydrate your cells. Sodium is also key for nerve impulses – in fact, salt (sodium chloride) is vital for nerves to transmit electrical signals and for your body to absorb nutrients into cells.SALTE provides a generous dose of sodium to quickly replace what you lose through exercise or daily activities.
  
  

• Potassium (400 mg per sachet): Potassium works hand-in-hand with sodium. This mineral resides mostly inside your cells and helps regulate your heartbeat, nerve function, and muscle contractions. The sodium-potassium ratiois especially important: getting enough potassium can counterbalance high sodium intake and support healthy blood pressure. In terms of hydration, potassium helps ensure water and nutrients flow into cells properly. SALTE’s hydration formula includes a 2:1 ratio of sodium to potassium (800 mg Na / 400 mg K) – a balance that mirrors the ratios used in effective rehydration solutions. By including ample potassium, SALTE helps maintain electrolyte equilibrium during rehydration.

• Magnesium (60 mg per sachet): Often called the “miracle mineral,” magnesium is involved in energy production and muscle function. It supports over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including nerve transmission and muscle contraction. In SALTE we use magnesium malate, a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that’s easily absorbed. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance (even the EU recognises this in health claims) and helps prevent muscle cramps. It also plays a role in combating fatigue, proper magnesium levels can aid steady energy release, helping you feel more energised during the day.

• Chloride: Present as part of sodium chloride, chloride is another essential electrolyte that helps maintain osmotic pressure and pH balance. It often flies under the radar, but chloride partners with sodium and potassium to support digestion and keep fluid levels in check.

• No Sugar or Fillers: Here’s a key difference – SALTE contains zero sugar and zero artificial ingredients. t’s a clean electrolyte blend without the junk found in many conventional sports drinks. Why no sugar? Sugar can certainly aid fast absorption in medical rehydration solutions, but for everyday wellness and performance, you don’t need the extra calories or glucose spikes. Many sports drinks and electrolyte powders on the market are loaded with excessive sugar or cheap fillers that can do more harm than good (think blood sugar crashes or unnecessary additives). Instead, SALTE is naturally sweetened with a touch of stevia and flavoured with real fruit flavours – nothing more. You get effective hydration in its purest form, with a light, refreshing taste and nothing that doesn’t serve a purpose.

How do these ingredients work in your body? In short, they synergistically promote optimal hydration and physiological function. Sodium and potassium maintain the balance of fluids inside and outside your cells, acting like gatekeepers for water distribution. When you dissolve a SALTE sachet in water, you create a hydration formula that rapidly replaces lost electrolytes and encourages your body to hold onto the fluid. This helps prevent the dreaded cycle of chugging water only to run to the bathroom minutes later. As one scientific review notes, electrolyte content makes one of the largest contributions to a beverage’s hydration power. In other words, water + electrolytes hydrates you better than water alone – the minerals basically turn your drink into a sponge that your body’s tissues can absorb and utilise.

Moreover, maintaining electrolyte balance is crucial for nearly every system in your body. It maximises the performance of your muscles, organs and joints.

For example, if you’re an athlete or just working up a sweat, having adequate electrolytes (especially sodium) on board helps you avoid cramps, sustain endurance, and keep your muscles firing properly. If you’re on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, supplemental electrolytes are a lifesaver for combatting “keto flu” symptoms like dizziness or fatigue (which are often due to mineral imbalances). 

One SALTE user, Christoffer, even called it a “gamechanger” for maintaining energy and balance while on a keto diet.

To sum up the science behind SALTE: we’ve combined the best electrolyte ingredients (in forms your body can absorb) in an ideal ratio to keep you optimally hydrated. Every ingredient in SALTE’s formula has a purpose:

• Replenish essential electrolytes lost through sweat or daily activity

• Boost water absorption and retention for true hydration, not just chugging fluids

• Support electrical signaling in nerves and muscles (for sharp focus and strong performance)

• Aid recovery by rebalancing your system, reducing the risk of dehydration headaches or muscle cramps

And we’ve done it without any unnecessary extras. Just clean, science-backed hydration.
