Re-Lyte Boost Lemon Lime 254 grams Redmond Re-Lyte Boost is a clean energy drink that leaves you feeling focused and invigorated without giving you the jitters or causing you to crash. It gives you an amazing lift through an optimal blend of electrolytes, B-vitamins, green tea extract, beetroot extract, ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, and ashwagandha.
The idea behind adding salt and other trace minerals to your diet comes from the biological breakdown of essential vitamin and mineral minimum requirements that you need. Sodium is “one of the body's electrolytes, which are minerals that the body needs in relatively large amounts. Electrolytes carry an electric charge when dissolved in body fluids such as blood.
Most of the body’s sodium is located in blood and in the fluid around cells. Sodium helps the body keep fluids in a normal balance…[and] plays a key role in normal nerve and muscle function.”
Your body, and more specifically your kidneys, are particularly evolved to maintain a proper level of salt (homeostasis), and can filter out any excess sodium intake as needed.
Salt can also be particularly advantageous for those transitioning onto a carnivore diet to help reduce common negative side effects, with the most prominent one being known as “Keto Flu” or “Carnivore Flu.” This happens when your body transitions from carbohydrates as the main source of fuel and has to learn to transition to fat as the main source of fuel and energy. During this time, your body experiences three primary changes; water and sodium flushing, increased cortisol levels, and a potential decrease in T3 thyroid hormones. Common symptoms during this “flu” include headaches, cramping, brain fog, fatigue, and insomnia for up to 30 days during the energy source transition. Supplementing with high quality electrolytes and salt (options linked further below) can help during this transition time onto a carnivore or carnivore-adjacent diet.
The positive effects of over consuming salt may include:

Meeting the minimum daily sodium and electrolyte biological needs
Easing the transition onto a carnivore diet
Adding salt to taste to enhance the palatability of meat
