Salt of Life High Mineral Sea-Salt - Lab Tested and Pure
Sodium is what makes water stay. In a randomized trial of 72 men, drinks carrying sodium and other electrolytes left more fluid on board after four hours than plain water did. This is the salt for that glass: hand-harvested, unrefined, nothing added.
Hand-harvested geothermal sea salt from the coastal flats of Colima, Mexico. Nothing added, nothing removed. Fine or coarse grain, 4 oz through 8 lb, plus 50-unit wholesale cases.
- Hand-Harvested
- Unrefined
- Lab Tested
- Fine or Coarse Grain
- No Anti-Caking Agents
- No Bleaching
- No Additives
Why people use it
- Sodium and chloride, unstripped. The two electrolytes you lose in sweat, in a salt that still has the rest of the brine's minerals with them.
- Trace minerals ride along. Magnesium, calcium, and potassium show up in the lab summary at small but real amounts. Trace is the honest word: this is a seasoning that carries more than sodium, not a mineral supplement.
- Hand-harvested, crystal by crystal. Geothermal brine rises through volcanic strata, meets the sun in the coastal flats, and is gathered by hand rather than scraped by machine.
- It tastes like salt should. Less harsh than refined table salt, which is why people find they can season more freely before food reads as salty.
- One ingredient. No dextrose, no ferrocyanide, no bleaching step. If it clumps, that is the moisture it was harvested with.
What you're getting (approximate)
Typical mineral content per 1.5 g, about a quarter teaspoon, from the lab summary on the current product page. Batch lab results are shown in the product images.
| Nutrient | Per 1.5 g (~1/4 tsp) |
|---|---|
| Sodium | ~330 mg |
| Chloride | ~842 mg |
| Magnesium | ~21.6 mg |
| Calcium | ~11.2 mg |
| Potassium | ~9.8 mg |
Approximate and typical, not a lot-specific assay; mineral content in an unrefined salt varies by harvest. Ask us for the current certificate of analysis.
How to use
- Use it anywhere you use salt: cooking, seasoning, finishing, baking.
- Add a pinch to your water, or put a pinch on your tongue and drink a glass behind it.
- Fine dissolves faster and distributes more evenly; coarse is easier to pinch and finish with. Pick the grain at checkout.
- Baths and self-care routines work the same way. So does the animal water bucket.
- Skip the shaker and the grinder. Natural moisture and crystal size clog both. Handle it as a chef's salt, with your fingers or a small spoon.
- Store it in a glass jar and let it dry out on its own, lid off for a while, or spread on a glass pan overnight with a few stirs before you jar it.
Sourcing & making
Harvested in the southwest of Mexico, in the coastal flats of Colima just south of Puerto Vallarta. Geothermal pressure draws the brine up through ancient volcanic strata before it ever reaches the sun, and it is gathered by hand rather than machine-scraped. Nothing is added and nothing is removed. Every batch is lab tested and those results are published in the product images.

- Lab-Tested, Organic-Qualified High Mineral Sea Salt
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Home cooks and chefs who want an unrefined salt with no anti-caking agents in it
- Practitioners and clients building an adrenal-cocktail or homemade electrolyte routine that needs a real sea salt base
- Anyone buying salt by the pound, for the kitchen, the barn, or a wholesale shelf
Probably not for you if:
- You want a magnesium or potassium supplement. Use a dedicated form for those.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround. Batch results are also published in the product images so you can read them yourself.

Sodium (as sodium chloride)
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition · 2016 · RCT · n=72
In a randomized trial in 72 healthy men, beverages containing sodium and other electrolytes (oral rehydration solution and milk) produced smaller urine output and greater fluid retention over 4 hours than plain water.
Sodium and chloride
Sports Medicine · 2017 · narrative review
A methodological review reporting that sweat is a saline fluid with sodium concentrations that rise with sweating rate, and that sweat sodium losses vary widely between individuals and within the same individual.
Sodium, potassium and chloride
Applied Sciences · 2024 · narrative review
A narrative review concluding that electrolyte losses during exercise in the heat can impair hydration status and plasma volume, and that measuring and replacing sweat electrolytes supports performance and safety.
Evidence note: Strong for sodium and chloride as electrolytes in hydration, with a good human trial and two reviews. Comparisons between unrefined high-mineral sea salt and refined salt are still to be run; what we can state is the mineral content and what those minerals do.
FAQ
How much magnesium am I actually getting?
That is a real trace contribution and not a magnesium supplement. If magnesium is the goal, pair it with malate or bis-glycinate.
Fine or coarse, what's the difference?
Grain size only. Same hand-harvested source, same lab tests. Fine dissolves faster in water and spreads evenly in baking; coarse is easier to pinch and better as a finishing salt. They ship as separate variants, so choose at checkout.
Is it iodized?
No. Nothing is added, so it carries only what the source brine held. If iodized salt is your main iodine source,
Why does it clump?
Because there is no anti-caking agent in it. Residual harvest moisture keeps the crystals sticking. Move it to a glass jar and let it air-dry, or spread it on a pan overnight and stir it a few times. That handles most of it.
Can I resell it?
Not without an agreement. Wholesale 50-unit cases at 4 oz, 8 oz, and 1 lb are available at a 20% saving, but resale needs a wholesale agreement with Modern Roots Life LLC first. Email us and we'll set it up.
Pairs well with
- Adrenal Cocktail — the potassium and vitamin C half of the mineral drink
- Electrolyte Powder — when you want the whole blend already mixed
- Magnesium Malate — the magnesium this salt only trace-supplies
Cautions
- Salt tolerance varies. Watch your intake and stay properly hydrated.
- Store cool and dry, ideally in a glass jar. Best within 48 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
