How to Make Sole Water
Drinking a solution of concentrated salt water may sound intimidating, but just wait until you hear the why behind such an endeavor. People who practice fasting and/or live a ketogenic lifestyle are quickly adopting the Sole practice and reaping the benefits. Just a spoonful of the brine a day will replenish the body with electrolytes and essential minerals.
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 supports 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.
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 - Choose Your Salt: You can use coarse salt, kosher salt, or fine salt. Larger grains are slightly better because they dissolve more slowly, helping the water stay consistently saturated over time.
- Step 2 - Combine Salt and Water: Fill a pint-sized jar with 3-4 tablespoons of salt. Cover the salt with water. (We suggest purified or spring water.)
-
Step 3 - Seal It Up: Put the lid on (preferably NOT a metal lid since metal will oxidize with water and salt).
- Step 4 - Wait for Saturation: Let it 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 it 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 (~480 mg sodium)) of sole water into your first morning glass of water and stay salty all day long!

Hello. Once the sole water is ready to drink should it be refrigerated or just left out at room temperature?

Thanks for your question. Once your sole water is ready, it can be kept at room temperature. Because the water is fully saturated with salt, it naturally resists bacterial growth and doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Just keep a lid on the jar and store it in a clean place on your counter.
I am thoroughly confused on sole water. I read through many of the comments and still don’t know the measurements. I plan on using a pint jar with plastic lid. Currently I have your fine sea salt. How much do I put into the jar to start and if I add more water (as it’s being used) how much do I add? Please respond via email.

Hi, Nance. For a pint jar, start with about 3 to 4 tablespoons of Real Salt, then fill the rest with filtered water and let it sit overnight. The goal is to fully saturate the water, so you want to see a little undissolved salt sitting at the bottom. As you use the sole, just add more water. As long as a small amount of salt remains at the bottom, the solution stays properly saturated. If the salt ever fully dissolves, just add another tablespoon of salt.
I have been using the large salt crystal for years. I am sad that you no longer make them. Will you ever make again? They were great for intermittent fasting as well.

We totally understand, a lot of people loved those crystals for fasting. I’ll absolutely share your feedback with our team. It really does help us know what products people miss most. Thanks for being such a longtime supporter.
If I need to try to make this right away before I’m able to get crystals, how much fine Real salt should I use? Or I also have kosher Real salt I could use.

Hi Alyson, thanks for your question! You can substitute either fine or kosher salt. Fill a pint-sized jar with 3-4 tablespoons of salt, shake, and let sit for 24 hours. If there’s a little undissolved salt remaining, then your solution is fully saturated and ready to use.
