Electrolytes

Sodium

The first electrolyte a fast depletes

What it is

Sodium is the body's main extracellular electrolyte, and it is the first thing you lose when you stop eating and insulin falls. Replacing sodium makes the difference between truly hydrating your body and simply just drinking water. Trace delivers 1,000 mg per serving with zero calories, so it never breaks your fast. Our sodium is sourced from Redmond Real Salt®, an unrefined natural sea salt made in the USA rather than synthetic lab-blended sodium chloride.

Sourcing & potency

Trace sources its sodium from Redmond Real Salt®, an ancient sea salt mined from a protected deposit in Utah. Because it is unrefined, it keeps the trace minerals a processed salt strips away, and it is never lab-blended sodium chloride. That matters most in a fast: when insulin falls your kidneys flush sodium first, and what you put back should be the cleanest form of it. Every batch is third-party tested for purity.

How it works

As insulin drops during a fast, the kidneys excrete more sodium and water. Replenishing sodium keeps extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure steady, which is why electrolytes can relieve fasting fatigue and other symptoms of the keto flu.
