Why POTS and sodium often come up together
Many clinicians advise people with POTS to raise their sodium and fluid intake, and your own target should come from your doctor. Most electrolyte drinks are flavored sugar water with only a token amount of sodium, so hitting a higher daily number with them is hard. Saltivate gives you 800mg of sodium per serving.
POTS is one of several forms of dysautonomia, the umbrella term for conditions where the autonomic nervous system does not regulate the body the way it should.
Signs a higher-sodium mix could help
- You have been advised to add more sodium and fluids
- Plain water alone leaves you wanting something with salt in it
- You find yourself craving salty foods
- You feel run down 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. That is the practical reason a clinician focused on hydration often talks about salt and fluids in the same breath.
Most electrolyte drinks are built to taste like a light beverage. Many carry only 50 to 300mg of sodium per serving, so reaching a higher daily number with them means drinking serving after serving or topping up with table salt.
Each serving of Saltivate provides 800mg of sodium from sodium chloride, the same salt your body recognizes, plus 240mg potassium and 60mg magnesium, with zero sugar. Potassium and magnesium are included because a daily hydration routine is usually about balance, not sodium in isolation.
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. How much sodium and fluid is right 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.
Its roughly 2g of salt lightly seasons water, juice, or whatever you already drink throughout the day.
- 800mg sodium per serving, well above the token amount in most electrolyte drinks, to help you reach a higher sodium target
- Zero sugar, with zero calories in Raw Unflavored and 10 in the flavored mixes, so daily sips do not stack up sugar
- Raw Unflavored is plain with no sweetener at all, easy to mix into any drink throughout the day

Common questions
What makes Saltivate a good electrolyte choice for POTS?
Many people with POTS 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 doctor.
How much sodium should I get for POTS?
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. For an everyday higher-sodium routine, a sugar-free mix like Saltivate is a simple way to pair sodium with fluids.
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 the unflavored option better for daily use?
Many people prefer Raw Unflavored for an all-day routine because it is plain, with no sweetener at all. Its roughly 2g of salt lightly seasons water, juice, or any drink you stir it into. The flavored options in Orange, Mango Pineapple, and Watermelon are sweetened with OnoSweet, a Reb M made by fermenting rice rather than from the stevia leaf, so there is no bitter aftertaste.
Is Saltivate HSA or FSA eligible?
Yes. Saltivate is HSA and FSA eligible at checkout, and no Letter of Medical Necessity is needed.
Are electrolytes good for dysautonomia?
POTS is one of the most common forms of dysautonomia, and the same sodium-forward approach often applies: raising sodium and fluids to support blood volume. Saltivate's 800mg of sodium per serving makes a higher target easier to reach. Talk to your doctor about what is right for your situation.
