Did you know that adding Celtic fine sea salt to your water can give you extra health benefits? We’re excited to announce our reformulated Energise Elixir that gives you exactly this! Celtic fine sea salt is packed with electrolytes including sodium, magnesium and potassium. These trace minerals are crucial for maintaining electrolyte balance, hydration and many more essential bodily functions.

Let’s take a deeper look at the benefits of Celtic sea salt.

1. Enhanced hydration
   
   We all know how essential water is to our health. However, plain water sometimes just doesn’t cut it especially for those partaking in long and intense physical exercise. Research has shown that beverages with added electrolytes can be more effective in rehydrating the body than plain water alone, particularly after exercise-induced dehydration. Adding a pinch of Celtic fine sea salt to your water ensures a more balanced intake of these vital minerals. The trace minerals found in this salt help the body retain water, preventing dehydration and promoting optimal cell function.
2. Electrolyte balance
   
   Electrolytes regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure & help rebuild damaged tissue. Sodium, one of the primary electrolytes found in Celtic fine sea salt, is essential for maintaining fluid balance, transmitting nerve impulses and supporting muscle function. A well-balanced intake of electrolytes is critical, especially during periods of heavy sweating or physical exertion. Maintaining proper electrolyte levels can prevent muscle cramps, dizziness, and fatigue associated with electrolyte imbalances. Celtic fine sea salt ensures that your body receives these essential minerals in a natural and balanced form.
3. Reduced sugar cravings
   
   One lesser known benefit of Celtic fine sea salt is the potential to reduce sugar cravings. Cravings for sugary foods can often be a sign of mineral deficiencies, particularly magnesium. Celtic fine sea salt provides a natural source of magnesium along with other trace minerals that can help satisfy the body’s nutritional needs.
4. Improved digestion
   
   Celtic fine sea salt can also play a role in digestive health. It stimulates the production of digestive enzymes and saliva, which are essential for the initial breakdown of food. Additionally, it promotes the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, aiding in the efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. Chloride, a component of sea salt, is vital for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This acid is necessary for the digestion of proteins and the absorption of minerals like magnesium, calcium and zinc.
5. Alkalising effect
   
   While sea salt itself is not inherently alkaline, it can help balance the body's pH. Many of the trace minerals in Celtic fine sea salt, such as magnesium have alkalising properties. This is particularly beneficial for those eating a “standard” modern diet high in processed foods and sugars. Maintaining an optimal pH balance is crucial for overall health, as chronic acidity is linked to inflammation and various chronic diseases. Studies indicate that maintaining a slightly alkaline environment in the body can enhance metabolic functions and reduce disease risk.
6. Support for adrenal function
   
   The adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing stress hormones like cortisol, require adequate levels of sodium to function properly. Chronic stress can deplete our sodium levels leading to adrenal fatigue. By adding Celtic fine sea salt into your daily hydration routine, you provide the necessary sodium to support adrenal health.
