SaltHead Review: Why This Electrolyte Drink Actually Works

You wake up exhausted. You drink coffee. You still feel like garbage until 11am. You assume that's just how mornings work.

Here's what's actually happening: You're dehydrated. Not thirsty-dehydrated. Cellular-level dehydrated. Your body spent 7-8 hours without water, you probably didn't drink enough yesterday, and now your cells are running on empty.

Coffee doesn't fix that. It actually makes it worse because caffeine is a diuretic - it makes you pee out more water.

This is where SaltHead comes in. And before you think "oh great, another overpriced electrolyte drink," let me explain why this one's different.

What's Actually In SaltHead

1,000mg of Pink Himalayan Salt

Not table salt. Not sea salt. Pink Himalayan salt with trace minerals your body actually uses. This is the base of the whole formula - it's what rehydrates you at a cellular level.

When you're dehydrated, your cells can't absorb plain water efficiently. You need sodium to pull water into your cells. That's why athletes drink Gatorade and not just water. But most electrolyte drinks use cheap sodium and call it a day.

Magnesium and Potassium

These two work with sodium to maintain proper fluid balance. You've probably heard you need electrolytes, but most people don't know electrolytes are literally just sodium, potassium, and magnesium in the right ratios.

Get the ratio wrong and you're just drinking expensive Kool-Aid. SaltHead has the ratios right.

1.5g of Choline Bitartrate

This is the ingredient most electrolyte drinks don't have. Choline supports brain function - memory, focus, mental clarity. So you're not just hydrating your body, you're supporting your brain too.

Ever notice how it's hard to think clearly when you're dehydrated? That's why.

72 Ionic Mineral Trace Blend

All the little minerals your body needs in tiny amounts. Zinc, selenium, copper - stuff that sounds boring but matters for how your body functions. You're not going to feel these immediately, but over time, having these trace minerals consistently makes a difference.

Who Actually Needs This

You need this if:

• You wake up tired even after sleeping 7-8 hours
• You drink coffee first thing but still feel foggy
• You work out and feel wiped the rest of the day
• You crave salty snacks (chips, crackers, pretzels) constantly
• You live in Omaha and deal with hot summers or cold, dry winters
• You drink alcohol regularly (it dehydrates you more than you think)

You probably don't need this if:

• You already drink 100+ ounces of water daily and feel great
• You eat a ton of whole foods and never feel sluggish
• You're already taking electrolyte supplements that work for you

What It Actually Does

Here's what people notice when they start taking SaltHead in the morning:

Week 1: You don't need coffee immediately. You still drink it because you like it, but you're not desperately crawling toward the coffee maker.

Week 2: That afternoon crash around 2-3pm isn't as brutal. You're not reaching for energy drinks or more coffee just to function.

Week 3: You stop craving salty snacks as much. Turns out your body was just looking for sodium and minerals, not specifically Doritos.

Ongoing: Your workouts feel better. Recovery is faster. You're not as sore. Mental clarity is noticeably better throughout the day.

How to Actually Use It

First thing in the morning - Before coffee, before breakfast, first thing. Mix it with 12-16oz of water and drink it. This rehydrates you from the night and sets you up for the day.

Some people mix it with their morning protein shake or smoothie. That works too.

After workouts - If you train hard or do cardio, take another serving after your workout. You're losing electrolytes through sweat. Replace them.

Hot days - Summer in Omaha gets brutal. If you're outside sweating, you need this. Plain water isn't enough when you're losing that much fluid.

After drinking alcohol - Had a few drinks last night? Take SaltHead before bed and again in the morning. Won't cure a hangover completely, but it helps a lot. Alcohol dehydrates you massively - this rehydrates you.

The Mistakes People Make

Taking it with coffee immediately - Give it 20-30 minutes before you drink coffee. Let it rehydrate you first. Then have your coffee.

Not drinking enough water with it - It's concentrated electrolytes. You need to drink it with 12-16oz of water minimum. If you take it with 4oz and wonder why you feel worse, that's why.

Expecting it to feel like caffeine - It's not a stimulant. You won't feel a "buzz." You'll just notice you don't feel like garbage anymore. That's the point.

Only taking it when you remember - Consistency matters. Take it every morning for two weeks before deciding if it works. Your body needs time to rehydrate properly.

Why Not Just Drink Gatorade?

Gatorade has sodium and potassium, sure. It also has 36 grams of sugar per bottle and artificial colors. You're basically drinking sugar water with a tiny bit of electrolytes.

SaltHead has zero sugar. No artificial anything. Just the minerals and electrolytes your body actually needs, in doses that actually work.

Plus, Gatorade doesn't have choline or trace minerals. It's designed to rehydrate athletes during games, not optimize your daily function.

The Real Talk About Hydration

Most people think they drink enough water. They don't.

Even if you drink water throughout the day, if you're not absorbing it properly at a cellular level, you're still functionally dehydrated. That's why you can drink a gallon of water and still pee clear every hour - it's going right through you without actually hydrating your cells.

Electrolytes help your body absorb and use the water you drink. Without them, you're just flushing water through your system.

This is especially true if you:

• Drink a lot of coffee (diuretic)
• Work out regularly (lose electrolytes through sweat)
• Live in a dry climate (Omaha winters)
• Eat a low-sodium diet (sounds healthy but can cause issues)
• Take certain medications (some are diuretics)

What People Actually Say About It

"I stopped reaching for chips and crackers after lunch. Didn't even realize I was doing it until I stopped." - Customer at our store

"My 2pm crash disappeared. I used to need another coffee or I was useless. Now I'm fine." - Regular who's been taking it for months

"I mix it with my pre-workout water and my workouts feel way better. Recovery is noticeably faster too." - Guy who trains at 5am before work

The Flavors Don't Suck

It comes in multiple flavors. Watermelon is popular. It actually tastes good, which matters because if it tastes like seawater you won't take it consistently.

Some people mix it with EVO9 (our recovery supplement) and take them together in the morning. That's a solid combo if you train regularly.

Common Questions We Get

"Will this make me bloated?"

No. The opposite actually. When you're properly hydrated at a cellular level, you retain less water. Bloating often happens when you're dehydrated and your body is holding onto water.

"Can I take this if I have high blood pressure?"

Talk to your doctor first. It does contain sodium. Most people are fine, but check with your doctor if you're on blood pressure medication.

"Is this just expensive salt water?"

If you think Pink Himalayan salt, magnesium, potassium, choline, and 72 trace minerals in the right ratios is "just salt water," sure. But you could say the same thing about most supplements if you oversimplify them.

"Can kids take this?"

Yeah, it's just minerals and electrolytes. Nothing dangerous. Good for kids who play sports and sweat a lot.

"Why not just eat more salt?"

You could. But you won't get the magnesium, potassium, choline, and trace minerals. And you won't get them in the ratios that actually work for hydration.
