Let’s Clear This Up Once and for All
You’re browsing hydration hacks, and someone says, “Just add a pinch of salt to your water — it’s full of electrolytes!”
Cue the follow-up: Wait… does salt actually have electrolytes?
Short answer: Yes.
Slightly longer answer: But not all salt is the same — and not all hydration is created equal.
What Makes Salt an Electrolyte?
Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge and help your body:
-
Balance fluids
-
Contract muscles
-
Send nerve signals
-
Avoid feeling like a human raisin after leg day
Table salt = sodium chloride. Sodium = an essential electrolyte.
So yes — salt contains electrolytes, primarily sodium, which helps your body maintain fluid balance. But here's where it gets interesting…
Table Salt vs. Sea Salt: Not the Same Vibe
That plain white table salt? It’s often highly processed, stripped of trace minerals, and usually loaded with additives like anti-caking agents.
Sea salt, on the other hand?
-
Less refined
-
Contains natural trace minerals (small amounts, but still)
-
Tastes cleaner
-
Makes your hydration a little more… grown-up
Mizu Lab Electrolytes: Powered by Sea Salt, Not Sugar
At Mizu Lab, we don’t just toss in any old salt. We chose sea salt because:
-
It gives your body the sodium it needs to support hydration
-
It plays well with our zero sugar formula
-
It lets our bold, Asian-inspired flavors shine without tasting like a salt lick
Think of it as hydration that’s actually smart — and delicious. Whether you're sipping Yuzu & Mango or Lychee & Mangosteen, you're getting electrolytes without added nonsense.
Should You Just Add Salt to Water?
You can — and some people do — but here’s the thing:
-
Getting the balance right is tricky
-
It can taste... rough
-
And it won't include other key electrolytes like potassium
-
Also, let’s be honest — nobody's sipping salt water for fun
That’s where a balanced electrolyte mix like Mizu Lab comes in:
-
Pre-measured
-
Easy to mix
-
Actually enjoyable to drink
-
Ready to go when you are
Final Sip
Does salt have electrolytes? Yes — sodium is a core player in hydration.
But if you're looking for a smarter, tastier way to get it, Mizu Lab brings the balance, the sea salt, and the flavor — no shaker or measuring spoon required.
