Sodium is the most important electrolyte for hydration as it helps your body retain water. Sodium is lost during physical activity and replacing it is vital for optimal performance. Much of the research coming out lately shows that we need more sodium in our diets (but not from processed or junk foods). We do realize that, on the advice of their doctor, some people have to monitor their sodium intake, which is why we loudly and proudly put our sodium content on the front of each package.

We use glycine (amino acid) as the primary sweetener and a touch of Rebaudioside M. Glycine is an amino acid that not only provides sweetness on the tongue but also helps with mineral absorption in the small intestine without spiking blood sugar or causing an insulin response. Reb M is a sweet molecule (200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar) and can be derived from sugarcane, stevia leaf or rice. Although it is often associated with stevia, it is only one of the 72 glycosides found in stevia. Unlike stevia leaf extract, it has no aftertaste and has none of the allergenic properties. 

Actually, there are 3 things that make us different.

1. High-Potency Electrolyte Blend: 900mg Sodium, 300mg Potassium, 100mg Magnesium and 18mg of Calcium to dramatically enhance fluid absorption and nervous system function
2. Robust Natural Flavors that pair well with salts to make it deliciously easy to drink more electrolyte-rich water.
3. Glycine: Amino Acid-based Sweetener that helps with nutrient absorption and blood sugar management for better hydration than is possible from sugar, stevia or artificial sweeteners.

Our ingredients are very clean with no known allergens. Insaltd has zero-gluten, zero-sugar and zero-artificial sweeteners.

Below is a complete list of our ingredients so you can check for yourself if there is anything you need to stay away from.

Insaltd Ingredients: Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride). Citric Acid, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, Glycine, Natural Flavors, Rebaudioside M, Calcium Citrate, Chromium Polynicotinate.

Insaltd was developed in Canada and is made and packaged in the USA. 

Generally speaking, we tend to dilute servings given to kids with up to twice as much water (32oz vs 16oz). We feel Insaltd is much better than the popular sports drinks but because we don’t add any color to our formula, your kids may think differently.

Please take a close look at our ingredient list to see if there is anything your family doctor or healthcare professional would advise against for your child.

Insaltd Ingredients:
Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride). Citric Acid, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, Glycine, Natural Flavors, Rebaudioside M, Calcium Citrate, Chromium Polynicotinate.

It really depends on your activity level, how much you sweat, diet and your overall health. We have found that starting the day with a glass of Insaltd electrolytes helps replenish the fluids lost during the night. You can do the same with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon in a glass of water. If you’re an athlete, work in the hot sun or even if you just get thirsty a lot, taking an electrolyte rich beverage can be really helpful.
