The Salty Truth About Electrolyte Supplements

Have you ever wondered why table salt seems to be the star of so many electrolyte supplements? It’s cheap, widely available, and effective at delivering sodium. But is it the best option for your body?

Take a closer look at some popular electrolyte powders. Many of them list table salt as a top ingredient, with one brand packing a staggering 580mg of sodium into a single serving. That’s nearly a quarter of the recommended daily sodium intake—for just one scoop!

Why is too much salt a problem?

We’ve all been there: crushing a bag of salty chips during a Netflix binge. The inevitable result? That bloated, puffy feeling that screams, “Too much salt!”

Excessive sodium doesn’t just leave you feeling uncomfortable. Over time, it can lead to:

• Brain fog

• High blood pressure

• Kidney strain

• Bloating and water retention

While your body does need sodium to function, the type and amount matter more than you might think.

The Vital Spring Difference

Unlike other electrolyte powders, Vital Spring skips the cheap table salt. Instead, we use sodium citrate, a form of sodium that’s not only gentler on your body but also helps improve magnesium absorption. This thoughtful ingredient switch ensures you get the benefits of sodium without the puffiness and bloating. It’s formed from the chemical reaction that occurs when Vital Spring is mixed with a liquid.

But that’s not all. Vital Spring is also packed with calcium, Vitamin C (sourced from real Italian lemons), and a carefully balanced blend of minerals. Every ingredient is chosen to maximize nutrient absorption without relying on fillers, artificial flavors, or chemicals.

Feel the Balance

Electrolytes shouldn’t weigh you down. With Vital Spring, you can hydrate naturally and restore your body’s mineral balance without the salty side effects.

Stay hydrated, stay healthy,
