Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
LYTES uses Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to replace fluids and minerals lost from sweat. Harvested from ancient sea salt deposits found deep in the Himalayan Mountains, the trace minerals found in this salt, such as iron, magnesium, potassium & calcium result in its range of colors.
All of our Himalayan salt is carefully sourced from FDA-registered suppliers. Once it arrives at our suppliers' state-of-the-art facilities, it undergoes a gamut of quality assurance processes to remove any impurities. Our salt is never heated or refined, and contains no additives of any kind. Just the highest quality & most unadultered Himalayan pink salt possible.
Potassium
Important for optimal body functioning, Potassium plays an important role in the nervous system by relaying messages between your brain and body.
Potassium also regulates your muscle contractions, reflexes, heartbeat, and other important bodily functions.
Important for a healthy heart and strong muscles, Potassium must be consumed as the human body cannot produce it.
Magnesium Glycinate
We formulated LYTES with the chelated form of magnesium for maximum absorption, better absorbed than cheaper forms of Magnesium. Magnesium is an essential electrolyte works by transporting blood sugars into the muscles to create fuel and energy, while simultaneously disposing of lactate that causes fatigue.
Why Glycinate? Glycine benefits go a lot further than benefiting sleep (you won't feel drowsy, just get better sleep). Glycine is an important amino acid that places a role in the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, and the production of creatine. And we all know the benefits of creatine. Plus we already have malic acid within our formulation so any benefit of using Magnesium Malate is already covered there.
Chloride
One of the major minerals in your body, Chloride is one of the most important electrolytes found in your blood.
Chloride is responsible for normal cell functioning, fluid balance, and maintaining proper blood volume and body fluids.
Flavoring
Our flavors are derived from spray dried fruit oils. We start with Lemon or Orange Oil, then spray dry the oil into a powder and put it onto a carrier. In our case we use Acacia Gum as the carrier.
All flavors need a carrier to turn them from liquid extracts into dry powders. Other cheaper carriers include maltodextrin, modified food starch, and dextrose. We use acacia gum because it uses the least amount of manufacturing steps and doesn't require any additives. It is the cleanest, most natural option available.
Acacia gum is derived from the stems and branches of Acacia Senegal or Acacia Seyal trees. There are no chemicals used to manufacture acacia gum. Its manufacturing cycle starts as a tree gum from the branches and stem that are then dried and used as an ingredient.
Organic Monk Fruit
Lightly sweetened with 100% Organic Monk Fruit. Unlike store-bought Organic Monk Fruit, our monk fruit contains zero Erythritol and zero Stevia.
FAQ
Short answer: It's free of additives and contains trace minerals - which makes it a superior choice to table salt.
Pink Himalayan salt, mined from ancient sea salt deposits in the Himalayan mountains, is minimally processed to retain its natural state.
Unlike heavily refined table salt, it contains no additives, anti-caking agents, or harsh chemicals.
On top of that, it's rich in over 80 trace minerals including iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Though these quantities are small, they help to support hydration and electrolyte balance.
Pink Himalayan salt and sodium chloride are not the same, read the next faq for an in-depth breakdown.
Although they both consist of sodium chloride, they aren't the same.
The terms table salt and sodium chloride are often used interchangeably.
However, sodium chloride and pink Himalayan salt are not.
Here's why:
Table salt is manufactured by extracting sodium chloride from underground salt mines or seawater, followed by a refining process to remove impurities and trace minerals. Chemicals like sulfuric acid or chlorine may be used for bleaching and sterilization, and anti-caking agents such as sodium ferrocyanide, calcium silicate, or magnesium carbonate are added to prevent clumping. This extensive processing strips most natural minerals present in unprocessed salts like pink Himalayan salt.
Pink Himalayan salt is mined from ancient salt deposits formed millions of years ago from evaporated prehistoric oceans. The process is minimal and largely manual, without chemical treatments or bleaching agents, preserving its natural state and trace mineral content. The salt's pink hue comes from iron oxide.
Takeaways: Table salt (sodium chloride) is heavily treated. Pink Himalayan salt is minimally processed and in its most natural state, which is why we use it.
Our Pink Himalayan salt is sourced from the Salt Range, stretching from Jalalpur to Mianwali within the Himalayan Mountain Range, and is mined using the traditional Pillar and Dome method, a standard for all commercially exported Himalayan salt.
This method involves creating cross-cut openings perpendicular to mining rooms, leaving salt pillars to support the overlying structure.
Like all Himalayan salt harvesting, the process begins with an initial explosive blast to open the mine, followed by manual extraction using axes, with the salt then carried out, crushed, rinsed, and screened.
At our supplier's Washington State facility, the salt undergoes rigorous quality control, including third-party laboratory testing for minerals and microbes, confirming no residual explosive materials.
Yes, our Pink Himalayan salt is 3rd party tested for Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Chromium, Lead, and Mercury.
At our supplier's facility in Washington State, the salt is subject to stringent quality control, with third-party lab testing for minerals and microbial content, ensuring no traces of explosive residues remain.
Our flavors begin with fruit oils that undergo a spray-drying process.
Spray-dried fruit flavors are created by atomizing fruit oils into a fine mist and drying it with hot air to produce a concentrated powder that retains the fruit's natural essence.
To ensure stability, shelf-life, and usability, a carrier is added during the spray-drying process. In manufacturing, converting liquids into powders will always require a carrier ingredient, however they're not all the same.
Our carrier of choice is acacia gum as it requires minimal processing and no additives, making it the cleanest and most natural choice. Other common and cheaper alternatives include maltodextrin, modified food starch, and dextrose, which are known to be highly processed with additives involved.
No, LYTES does not have maltodextrin in its formula.
Maltodextrin is typically used as a flavor carrier due to its low cost, however maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that can spike blood sugar and cause digestive issues in certain individuals which makes it less than ideal.
In reality, all flavors need a carrier to turn them from liquid extracts to dry powders. Examples of these carriers include maltodextrin, modified food starch, dextrose, or acacia gum.
We use acacia gum because it's minimally processed with zero additives and the cleanest, most natural option available. Acacia gum is derived from acacia trees, specifically the stems and branches of Acacia Senegal or Acacia Seyal trees. There are no chemicals used to manufacture acacia gum.
We've selected Magnesium Glycinate for its fully chelated Magnesium, enhanced by the amino acid Glycine.
Glycine's advantages extend beyond just improving sleep (without causing drowsiness, it promotes better rest). As a key amino acid, Glycine supports glutathione production, a potent antioxidant, and aids in the production of creatine whose benefits are well-known.
Additionally, our formula includes malic acid, covering any advantages Magnesium Malate might offer.
Our citric acid comes from cassava root, a superior alternative to conventional citric acid.
Unlike typical citric acid sourced from corn or sugar beets, which are often GMO and processed with synthetic chemicals, cassava-derived citric acid is non-GMO and gluten free.
Mix one stick pack with 8-12 ounces of water for best flavor.
Use LYTES to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes lost through training and everyday functions.
We recommend a maximum of 3-4 sticks per day.

I've tried most of the highly promoted electrolyte powders and none of them come close to Lytes quality, flavor, variety and service. Most of all, they're clean.
- MLMelanie L.Verified Buyer5 days agoReviewingLYTES ZERO-SUGAR ELECTROLYTESRated 5 out of 5 starsBest I've tried
I've tried 3 different brands of electrolytes and this is the best. I love the lemon-lime flavor.
I take it 2-3 times/day.
One concern is that I take it every day, I add Celtic salt to my jug in between, yet I am still dehydrated. I live in Florida, but normally I don't spend a lot of time in the sun. I don't take many prescriptions, I try to eat some fruit every day and since I'm allergic to many foods, including gluten, casein and some healthy fruits. I just don't know what to do.

First time trying athsport and I’ll definitely continue using it. It’s very hydrating and has been really helpful during these hot summer days. Highly recommend especially if you’re looking for a product with clean ingredients. Not artificial sweeteners was a must for me and this product doesn’t have them!! 5 stars for sure!
- MSMariana S.Verified Buyer1 week agoReviewingLYTES ZERO-SUGAR ELECTROLYTESRated 5 out of 5 starsClean ingredients, clean taste!
I’m enjoying the berry flavor and appreciate that there isn’t any weird monk fruit aftertaste. I take boxing classes and have an autoimmune disorder so having clean ingredients to stay hydrated is essential.
I did lots of comparisons to other brands I’ve tried. A couple of weeks using LTYES and already feeling more hydrated day to day. I’m looking forward to improved hydration and recovery using these electrolytes.
Thank you!
