Most people think hydration is simple:
Drink more water.
But if that were true, you wouldn’t feel tired, foggy, crampy, or flat — even though you drink water all day.
The truth is, hydration isn’t just about water.
Hydration is a cellular process, and it depends on minerals — not just fluid volume.
Hydration Is a Cellular Process, Not a Bottle Count
Water only hydrates you if it actually enters and stays inside your cells.
That process relies on electrolytes, primarily:
-Sodium
-Potassium
-Magnesium
These minerals regulate osmotic gradients and ion transport across cell membranes. Without them, water passes through your body instead of being retained where it’s needed.
This is why you can drink plenty of water and still feel dehydrated.
The Science Behind “Drinking Water but Still Dehydrated”
A foundational review published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition explains that electrolytes are required for effective fluid retention and distribution throughout the body (Shirreffs, 2000).
Sodium in particular:
-Maintains plasma volume
-Enables water absorption in the small intestine
-Reduces excessive urine output
When sodium intake is too low — especially in active or stressed individuals — hydration strategies often fail.
Even Mild Dehydration Has Real Effects
Research shows that losing as little as 1–2% of body water can impair:
-Cognitive performance
-Mood
-Energy levels
-Physical output
(Lieberman, Journal of Nutrition, 2007)
This level of dehydration can happen daily from:
-Sweating
-Caffeine intake
-Stress hormones
-Inadequate mineral intake
You don’t need to be severely dehydrated to feel bad — just chronically under-mineralized.
Why Modern Life Makes This Worse
Multiple studies show that modern diets are:
-Calorie dense
-Mineral poor
Highly processed foods contain far fewer essential minerals than whole, traditional diets, contributing to widespread electrolyte imbalance (Cordain et al., American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005).
Add in:
-Exercise
-Heat exposure
-Sauna use
-High mental stress
And your electrolyte needs increase significantly — often without you realizing it.
What Actually Fixes Hydration (According to Physiology)
Effective hydration requires:
1. Adequate water intake
2. Sufficient sodium to retain fluids
3. Potassium to balance intracellular hydration
4. Consistent daily intake — not just during workouts
This is why clinical rehydration solutions and high-performance protocols always include electrolytes, not water alone.
Where REDSALT Fits (The Practical Solution)
REDSALT exists to solve this exact problem.
It was built around the principles you just read:
-A mineral-rich sea salt source for sodium
-Balanced electrolytes to support fluid retention
-A clean formula designed for daily use, not just workouts
-A smooth, natural taste that makes consistency easy
REDSALT isn’t a sports drink, an energy drink, or a stimulant.
It’s a daily hydration foundation — designed to help your body actually use the water you’re already drinking.
