Let's Clear This Up

Myth vs. Fact

Tap any card to flip it and see the real story.

Myth
"Coffee dehydrates you."
Tap for the real story
The Real Story
Mostly a myth. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it signals your kidneys to release more water than they normally would. But the water in your cup more than makes up for it. It pairs great with a hydration ritual.
Myth
"8 glasses a day is the rule."
Tap for the real story
The Real Story
No single study backs this. Most adults need roughly 8 to 12 cups daily from all sources. A better starting point: half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces.
Myth
"Clear urine = peak hydration."
Tap for the real story
The Real Story
Consistently clear urine can mean you're flushing out minerals. Pale yellow is the sweet spot.
Myth
"All water is basically the same."
Tap for the real story
The Real Story
Mineral content varies widely between spring, filtered, and tap water. What's in your water matters.

Common Questions

Can I take electrolytes every day?
Yes. They're minerals your body uses daily. Consistent intake is more effective than occasional mega-doses.
Is it possible to overdo it?
Uncommon with reasonable supplementation, but overdoing sodium or potassium can cause issues. Stick to serving sizes.
Do electrolytes work faster than water alone?
They help your body absorb and retain water more efficiently. Minerals help your cells actually hold onto it.

Good hydration isn't about drinking more. It's about absorbing better.

The Science

The Numbers That Matter

0%

That's all it takes. Losing just 2% of your body weight in water can reduce both physical and mental performance. Focus, memory, and mood dip before you even feel thirsty.

~0%

of your brain is water. Even mild dehydration can reduce focus, memory, and mood before physical symptoms ever show up.

adults aren't getting enough magnesium daily, one of the most important electrolytes for recovery, relaxation, and quality sleep.

The Ingredient Story

The Ancient Salt

Minerals older than your problems.

Table Salt
"1"
  • Processed at 1,200+ degrees
  • Minerals stripped in refining
  • Anti-caking agents added
  • Bleached white
  • Lower bioavailability
Ancient Sea Salt
"60+"
  • Hundreds of millions of years old
  • Pre-industrial mineral deposits
  • Zinc, selenium, iodine, iron
  • Magnesium, potassium, calcium
  • Higher bioavailability

Not All Supplements Are Created Equal

Bioavailability is the percentage of a nutrient your body actually absorbs and uses. Two supplements can list the same amount on the label and deliver very different results.

Magnesium Oxide
Common in cheap supplements. Only ~4% absorbed. Most passes right through you.
Magnesium Glycinate
Chelated and highly absorbable. Gentle on the stomach. Better utilized by cells.

It's not about how much is on the label. It's about how much your body actually uses.

Format Matters

Your Body's Signal

Why You Cramp
(And What Actually Helps)

Nobody talks about cramps until they're in the middle of one. Here's what's actually going on.

Period Cramps
Your uterus is a muscle, and it contracts to shed its lining. Magnesium helps relax smooth muscle and may ease the intensity of those contractions.
Focus: Magnesium + sodium
Exercise Cramps
You lose sodium and potassium when you sweat. Without replacing them, muscles lose the electrical signals they need to contract and relax properly.
Focus: Sodium + potassium before and during activity
Nighttime Leg Cramps
The dreaded 2AM charley horse. Often linked to low magnesium or potassium levels, especially if you're active or not replenishing during the day.
Focus: Magnesium before bed. Consistent daily electrolytes.
Cramps are your body's signal, not a random punishment. When you give it the minerals it needs, the signal quiets down.

How Your Cycle Changes What You Need

Your hydration needs shift with your hormones. Here's what each phase looks like.

Menstruation
Days 1-5
Hormones drop. You lose water, iron, and electrolytes. Energy and hydration dip.
Focus: Magnesium + sodium
Follicular
Days 6-13
Estrogen rises. You may retain slightly more water, but still need consistent minerals.
Focus: Sodium + consistent hydration
Ovulation
Day 14
Estrogen peaks. Body temperature rises. You need more water and electrolytes.
Focus: Balanced electrolytes + extra water
Luteal
Days 15-28
Progesterone rises. Bloating, cravings, and water retention are common.
Focus: Potassium + magnesium
Your hydration needs change with your hormones. That's normal. Work with your cycle, not against it.
