Benefits
Maintaining a proper level of electrolytes has many benefits for overall health. Here are just a few of the benefits people all over the world are enjoying with Sole Water.
- Hydration: Electrolytes help to make the most of the water in your body and keep you properly hydrated.
- Battles fatigue and boosts energy: For people fasting, a daily salt solution is essential. Without replenishing electrolytes fasting can cause quick fatigue. Sole Water is a wonderful solution for optimal function and energy when fasting.
- Remedy for muscle cramping: Salt has been a remedy for muscle cramping for centuries. Adding Sole water to your daily workout routine can help you avoid them altogether.
- Improved digestion: Unrefined salt can help the intestinal tract and liver with secretion improving digestive health and function.
Why Sole Water?
You may be wondering why not just add a teaspoon of unrefined salt to a glass for some quick electrolytes? Simply adding a bit of salt to water could be an easy quick fix and we definitely recommend it if that is your only option. However, Sole Water is a solution that gives you the perfect amount of sodium with no guesswork involved, and our Ancient Sea Salt Crystals make that even more simple.
Fasting and keto are practices that will significantly decrease electrolytes. It is absolutely essential that vital minerals and electrolytes be replenished. Sole Water makes it easy. Water can only absorb 26% of sodium chloride in a solution. A fully saturated container of water makes each spoonful of the magic elixir the perfect amount to help replenish the body with electrolytes, resulting in optimal function.
The Easiest DIY You’ll Ever Try
Ok so let’s stop talking about it and do it already.
To make Sole Water:
- Step 1 - Put a handful of Ancient Sea Salt crystals into a container with a lid.
- Step 2 - Cover the sea salt crystals with water. (We suggest purified or spring water.)
- Step 3 - Put the lid on. (Preferably NOT a metal lid since metal will oxidize with water and salt.)
- Step 4 - Let sit for 24 hours. (To be fully saturated you want to see some salt remaining on the bottom of the jar. If all the salt has fully dissolved, add more salt. Let sit for another hour. Leftover salt indicates that the solution is fully saturated and at 26% sodium capacity.)
To take Sole Water:
- Add 1 spoonful (approximately 1 tsp) of sole water into your first morning glass of water and stay salty all day long!

I need to use the fine salt directly in a cup of water because of my busy routine outside home. Can you please suggest what is the amount of fine salt to be used in 500mL of water without waiting the 24h of resting? thank you

Hi Aline, thanks for your question. To make sole water from 500ml of water, you’d typically use about 2 ½ Tbsp. of fine Real Salt. However, true sole water requires a fully saturated solution, which requires 24 hours to let the salt fully dissolve. For a quick electrolyte boost on the go, try adding 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of salt to your water for a convenient alternative. Hope this helps!
Only 1 teaspoon a day? Is it harmful to drink more?

Redmond Life replied:
Hi Lisa, a teaspoon of sole water contains around 480mg of sodium. Depending on your age and body size, that’s around 20% of the FDA’s recommended daily limit. So, how much sole water you need will depend on your body, exercise level, health, climate, and how much sodium you are taking in from other sources. I hope this info helps you figure out what’s right for you!
Do you have a Sole water recipe using the fine ancient sea salt?

Redmond Life replied:
Yes, we do! Here’s a simple recipe for making sole water using our fine ancient sea salt: 1. Place about 2 ½ tablespoons of fine Real Salt in the bottom of a jar. 2. Fill the jar with water, leaving a small space at the top. 3. Put the lid on the jar (preferably not a metal lid as it can oxidize). 4. Let it sit for 24 hours. If all the salt dissolves, add more salt and let it sit for another hour. The solution is fully saturated when there is some undissolved salt at the bottom of the jar. It’s ready to use!

Redmond Life replied:
Hi Terri, thanks for the question. Add about a ¼ cup of coarse salt to a quart of water and shake. Let it sit for 24 hours to create a saturated solution. There will be some undissolved salt at the bottom of the jar when your water is fully saturated. To use: add 1 tea of the water to a glass of water to drink. I hope this helps!
