Frequently asked questions

Every serving has 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium.

No. Zero sugar and no artificial sweeteners. Raw Unflavored has zero calories; the flavored mixes have 10 calories per serving from the natural flavoring.

Saltivate tastes balanced, never too sweet, sour, or salty. You get a clean, refreshing drink, not a mouthful of salt water.

No. Sugar-free only means under half a gram of sugar per serving, and it can still contain a sweetener. Unsweetened means none at all. Raw Unflavored is truly unsweetened, and the flavored mixes are sugar-free with Reb M as the only sweetener.

No. Raw Unflavored tastes somewhat salty and enhances other flavors, because each serving carries 800mg sodium, about 2g of salt. Unflavored means no flavoring system is added, so no flavoring, no sweetener, and no acidulant.

Sodium is the electrolyte you lose the most of in sweat, and sweat can carry anywhere from about 200 to over 1,800mg per liter, so it adds up fast on a hot or hard day. Most mixes go light on it. We built Saltivate for people who actually sweat: athletes, heavy sweaters, sauna and hot-weather use, fasting, and keto. Our sweat calculator can estimate your own loss. Estimate your sweat loss →

The unflavored mix is just sodium chloride, potassium citrate, and dimagnesium malate. Flavored versions add natural flavor, citric and malic acid, Reb M, and 90mg of vitamin C (100% DV), still with no sugar.

Yes, our v2 formula made a few improvements. Potassium went from 200mg to 240mg and switched to potassium citrate for a better taste. Magnesium went from 50mg to 60mg in a finer powder that dissolves more easily. On the unflavored mix we removed vitamin C for better shelf stability. Sodium stays at 800mg as sodium chloride. We also refreshed the packaging.

Our unflavored mix is completely maltodextrin-free, just the three mineral compounds. Our flavored mixes contain only trace amounts that come along with the natural flavor. We never add maltodextrin as a filler or bulking agent.

No. Saltivate does not contain vitamin B6 or any other B vitamin. The mix is electrolytes only (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride), with vitamin C added to the flavored options. Raw Unflavored has no added vitamins at all. You can see the full ingredient list on every product page, and if you are managing a medical condition we recommend reviewing it with your doctor.

Our flavored mixes are sweetened with Reb M from fermented rice (OnoSweet), a zero-sugar sweetener with no stevia aftertaste. The unflavored mix has no sweetener at all.

No. OnoSweet is Reb M, made by fermenting rice rather than extracting it from the stevia plant. The bitter, licorice aftertaste people blame on stevia comes from crude leaf extract and older compounds like Reb A.

No. OnoSweet builds a clean, sugar-like sweetness and finishes without the lingering aftertaste of stevia leaf extract.

OnoSweet is Reb M, a zero-calorie sweetener made by fermenting rice, similar in concept to how yogurt and many vitamins are made. We use it instead of extracting sweetness from the stevia leaf.

No. OnoSweet does not spike blood sugar, and it is keto-friendly. It has zero calories and is not used by the body for energy.

OnoSweet is made by fermentation, a natural process, not chemically synthesized like sucralose or aspartame.

No. OnoSweet is not a sugar alcohol, so it will not cause the sugar-alcohol bloating you can get from erythritol, xylitol, or maltitol.

Yes. High-purity Reb M is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. We also publish a Certificate of Analysis so you can see exactly what is in every batch. See the Certificate of Analysis →

Raw Unflavored is for people who want straight electrolytes with nothing added, so we leave it unsweetened. The flavored mixes use OnoSweet to carry the fruit flavor without sugar, calories, or a bitter aftertaste.

Mix one scoop or stick of Saltivate into 16 to 32 oz of cold water. Stir or shake until it dissolves. Drink before, during, or after activity, or anytime you need hydration.

Yes. Saltivate is keto and fasting friendly, with zero sugar and no insulin spike. Raw Unflavored has zero calories; flavored mixes have 10 calories per serving, which most fasting approaches treat as negligible.

Orange, Mango Pineapple, and Watermelon, plus a clean unflavored base. New flavors are coming soon.
