What a travel day does to your water
Airline cabins usually run between 10 and 20% relative humidity, pressurized to the equivalent of 6,000 to 8,000 feet. You breathe out more water than you notice, and the drink cart comes by a couple of times with small cups. Add the airport coffee, a glass of wine at the gate, and a connection where you run instead of refill, and most people land behind on water.
Holiday travel stacks it further: an early alarm, a long security line, a full flight, then a dry, heated house at the other end. A bottle you refill after security and a few sticks in a pocket cover all of it. Every portable format is in electrolytes for travel.
Signs you are running low
- Dry mouth and a scratchy throat a few hours in
- Dry eyes and cracked lips by the time you land
- A dull headache on arrival that a big glass of water eases
- Dark urine at the first stop after landing
- Feeling foggy at baggage claim
When to drink on a flying day
Start before you board. Fill a bottle after security and mix a stick into it at the gate, so you take off ahead instead of catching up. On flights longer than about three hours, have a second serving midway with a full cup of water, and a third after landing if the day ran long.
Sodium is what lets the body hold the water you drink. Plain water in big amounts passes through quickly, and on a plane that means climbing over your row. Alcohol increases how much water you lose, so match each drink with a glass of water.
What to pack
One Orange stick is 6 grams of powder: 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, 60mg magnesium, 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin C, 0g sugar, and 10 calories. Powders are allowed in carry-on bags, and a handful of sticks takes less room than a phone. Tear one into the bottle you fill after security or the cup from the cart.
The 30-count box covers a round trip for a family, or a season of work travel for one. Prefer it plain? Raw Unflavored sticks have no sweetener and taste lightly salty.
- 800mg sodium in a 6g stick, no scoop to pack
- 100% DV vitamin C in every flavored serving
- 0g sugar, 10 calories, sweetened with Reb M, not from stevia
- 30 sealed sticks a box, sized for a carry-on
- Pay with your HSA/FSA card

I love this stuff! The macros are way better than the other popular electrolyte brands out there. It also tastes great!

Recently, I purchased this product through Amazon. Due to poor handling practices at Amazon my jar came with the powder all over it and the seal broken. Amazon sent me to the Saltivate website and I started to chat with what I found out was...

Common questions
Can I bring electrolyte powder through airport security?
Yes. TSA allows powders in carry-on bags. A container holding more than 12 ounces of powder can be pulled for extra screening, and a box of single sticks weighs about half that.
When should I drink electrolytes on a flight?
One serving at the gate before you board, a second midway on flights over about three hours, and one after landing if the day ran long. Drink water alongside each.
Do electrolytes help with jet lag?
Jet lag comes from crossing time zones, and light and sleep timing are what shift it. Electrolytes help with the dehydration that often comes along with it: the dry mouth and the dull head on arrival.
Is it fine with airplane coffee or wine?
Yes. Alcohol increases how much water you lose, so match each drink with a glass of water and put a stick in one of them.
Which flavor travels best?
Orange, for the vitamin C on long travel days. Raw Unflavored if you want no sweetener; it tastes lightly salty in plain water.
Can I pay with my HSA or FSA card?
Yes, at checkout, with no Letter of Medical Necessity.
