What we use: Salt and natural sodium from ingredients³⁶
What it does:
- Balances fluids in your body³⁶
- Makes nerves and muscles work (including your heart)³⁶
- Helps absorb other nutrients³⁶
- Maintains blood pressure³⁶
When you don't get enough:
- Muscle cramps³⁶
- Feel sick to your stomach³⁶
- Get confused and have headaches³⁶
- Really bad cases: seizures³⁶
- Very low blood sodium is actually dangerous!³⁶
Why our approach is different: Most "healthy" products brag about being low-sodium. But our Core flavors have about 33% of the sodium Daily Value in a full meal. Sodium IS an essential nutrient, something our bodies crave because it was so hard to get in the wild when we were still living in caves!
Everyone needs some sodium, and you lose it when you sweat. Too little can be dangerous; too much can raise blood pressure. Balance matters! Your needs depend on your day, so check the flavor's label to see how it fits.³⁶
(We also make "Flavor Unlocked" versions for people who don't need to watch sodium)
