Why we use Himalayan pink salt
The sodium you lose in sweat, from a clean, natural source.
Himalayan pink salt
What PSN uses
Sodium chloride, the same sodium you lose in sweat, and it fits our clean, natural label.
Trace minerals
Too small to matter, so we don’t make claims about them.
Why 750 mg per serving
Sized for real sweat losses, not a typical sports drink.
- ~1 g
Lost per liter of sweat
The average for athletes, with big differences from person to person.
- 750 mg
Per PSN serving
Covers a real share of a hard session’s losses and helps the body hold on to the water you drink.
- 100–200 mg
Typical sports drink
Why we chose more.
What to know
Made for training, heat and heavy sweating
Use it around hard sessions and on hot or sweaty days.
Not a replacement for plain water
It isn’t meant as an all-day replacement for drinking water.
No cramp or detox claims
Research on sodium and cramps is mixed, so we don’t claim it prevents cramps, and salt doesn’t “flush toxins”.
Who should check first
Check with your healthcare provider before using it if any of these apply.
Daily value
750 mg is about a third of the 2,300 mg daily value.
Low-sodium diet
Talk to your healthcare provider first.
High blood pressure
Talk to your healthcare provider first.
Heart or kidney condition
Talk to your healthcare provider first.
Quick answers about sodium
How much sodium do you lose in sweat?
On average roughly 1 g per liter of sweat, with big differences from person to person.
Why does PSN Electrolytes have more sodium than sports drinks?
Typical sports drinks have 100–200 mg. 750 mg covers a real share of a hard session’s losses and helps your body hold on to the water you drink.
Is Himalayan pink salt healthier than regular salt?
It’s sodium chloride like regular salt. Its trace minerals are too small to matter; we use it because it fits our clean label.
Can I drink electrolytes all day instead of water?
No. It’s made for training, heat and heavy sweating, not as an all-day replacement for plain water.
