Dysautonomia, sodium, and fluids
If you are looking for the best electrolytes for dysautonomia, you have probably already been told to drink more water and get more salt. Many clinicians recommend higher fluid and sodium intake for people with certain forms of dysautonomia, and your own target should come from your care team. The practical problem is that most electrolyte drinks are flavored sugar water with only a token amount of sodium, so hitting a higher daily number with them is a grind. Saltivate provides 800mg of sodium per serving so you can reach a doctor-set target without measuring salt by the spoonful. Confirm your personal target with your doctor before you change how much salt you take in.
Signs you are running low
- You have been advised to increase sodium and fluids
- Standing up leaves you lightheaded or foggy
- Plain water alone does not seem to be enough
- You find yourself craving salty foods
- You feel worse on hot days or after sweating
- You are tired of measuring table salt to hit a number
What actually helps you keep up with sodium
Sodium is the main electrolyte your body uses to hold on to fluid. Where sodium goes, water tends to follow, which is why plans that aim to support blood volume usually pair more sodium with more fluid rather than water alone. Drinking only water can actually dilute the sodium you already have, so the two are managed together, and your targets for both should come from your doctor.
Here is where most electrolyte drinks fall short: they are built to taste like a light beverage, not to deliver a meaningful dose. Many carry only 50 to 300mg of sodium per serving, so reaching a higher daily number means drinking serving after serving or topping up with table salt. The amount in the glass is what matters, not the flavor.
Saltivate takes the opposite approach. Each serving provides 800mg of sodium from sodium chloride, plus 240mg potassium and 60mg magnesium, with zero sugar. Raw Unflavored adds the sodium with no sweetener at all, roughly 2g of salt per serving that lightly seasons water, juice, or whatever you already sip through the day. None of this replaces medical advice, and a high-sodium routine is not right for everyone. How much is appropriate for you is a decision for you and your care team.
Why Saltivate fits a high-sodium routine
Saltivate was built around a simple idea: most electrolyte drinks underdose sodium, the mineral you lose the most of in sweat. For anyone working with a clinician on a higher-sodium plan, that high dose per serving is the whole point. Raw Unflavored is the cleanest way to add it, with no sweetener at all, and its roughly 2g of salt lightly seasons water, juice, or whatever you already drink through the day.

Common questions
What makes Saltivate a good electrolyte choice for dysautonomia?
Many people managing dysautonomia are advised to raise their sodium and fluid intake. Saltivate provides 800mg of sodium per serving, much more than most electrolyte drinks, which makes it easier to reach a higher sodium target once your doctor has set one. Your specific target should always be set with your care team.
How much sodium should I be getting?
There is no single right number, and it varies a lot from person to person, so this is a question for your doctor or care team. Once you have a target, Saltivate's 800mg of sodium per serving makes it simpler to reach without measuring out table salt.
How much water should I drink with it?
Sodium works together with fluids, so people raising their sodium are usually told to increase water too. There is no universal amount, so ask your doctor for your target. Saltivate stirs into whatever you are already drinking, which makes pairing salt with fluids easier across the day.
What about oral rehydration solutions (ORS)?
Oral rehydration solutions use a specific sugar-to-sodium ratio to speed fluid absorption, and are often used for illness or acute dehydration. Saltivate is a daily high-sodium electrolyte mix rather than an ORS, so it leaves out the sugar. If your clinician has recommended an ORS for a specific situation, follow their guidance.
Can I use Saltivate every day?
Yes. It is built for daily use, and many people keep Raw Unflavored on hand to sip throughout the day. If you are following a long-term high-sodium routine, keep your doctor in the loop on the amount that is right for you.
How is this different from salt tablets or capsules?
Salt capsules ask you to swallow a fixed dose. Saltivate is a drink mix you stir into water or juice, so you control how much goes into each glass and you hydrate at the same time. Many people find a sipped drink gentler on the stomach than capsules.
Does it have potassium and magnesium too?
Yes. Each serving has 240mg potassium and 60mg magnesium alongside the 800mg sodium, since a hydration routine is usually about more than sodium alone. Your doctor can advise what balance is right for you.
Is Saltivate HSA or FSA eligible?
Yes. Saltivate is HSA and FSA eligible at checkout, and no Letter of Medical Necessity is needed.
Make hitting your sodium target the easy part
If you and your doctor have set a higher sodium goal, Saltivate Raw Unflavored gives you 800mg per serving with no sugar and no sweetener, a plain mix that stirs into any drink. Talk to your doctor before changing your sodium routine, then let Saltivate handle the rest.
