Re-Lyte® Kids – Pink Lemonade kids' hydration • sugar-free • no artificial colours • microplastic-free • paediatric formula
Re-Lyte Kids Hydration (pink lemonade) is a clean alternative to sweetened drinks for kids aged 4+, developed in consultation with paediatricians. It is based on unrefined Redmond Real Salt® from an underground ancient deposit, combined with potassium, calcium, magnesium and coconut water powder.
One serving contains 340 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium, 50 mg calcium and 25 mg magnesium in a gentler mineral profile than standard adult electrolytes. Natural colour comes from blackcurrant and carrot extract, while the flavour comes from organic natural lemon, strawberry and lime flavours. No added sugar, GMO ingredients or synthetic colours; the pack contains 45 servings and, at one serving per day, lasts for approximately 45 days, or around 6 weeks.
Why we added Redmond Re-Lyte™ to the PraveBio.cz range
Redmond is a family-owned American company making functional products from two raw materials mined from its own underground deposit in Utah: unrefined Real Salt sea salt and Redmond Clay bentonite clay. Mining takes place without chemical processing; the salt is not bleached and retains its natural trace minerals and typical sweet-salty taste. The clay is finely milled bentonite from the same deposit, traditionally used in skin care and around the home (for example wraps and other forms of topical use); it is unusual in that it is also suitable for internal use. Neither the salt nor the clay contains microplastics or modern heavy metals.
Re-Lyte™ is an electrolyte range using Real Salt, a natural source of sodium and more than 60 trace minerals. Thanks to the taste of this salt, the electrolytes have a gentler, naturally mineral salty profile than most comparable products. The formula contains no added sugar, artificial sweeteners or fillers. The range includes powder blends for everyday hydration (Hydration), sport and training (Pre-Workout), energy and performance (Energy) and immune support (Immunity), as well as capsules and kids’ electrolytes.
Re-Lyte Kids Hydration – a clean electrolyte blend for active kids
Re-Lyte Kids Hydration is a hydrating electrolyte drink for kids, teenagers and anyone who prefers a gentler mineral profile than standard adult electrolytes. The formula was developed in consultation with paediatricians and uses a lower amount of electrolytes per serving. It is based on ancient sea salt Redmond Real Salt®, combined with potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride and coconut water powder.
- For: kids aged 4+, teenagers and active sportspeople who need a gentler electrolyte drink with no added sugar.
- Flavour: mild and fruity, without an aggressively salty taste, with a lightly sweet profile. It leaves a refreshing impression that can help kids keep up their fluid intake.
- Principle: replenishes sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium in a lighter concentration than the standard Re-Lyte Hydration range.
- Free from: added sugar, synthetic colours, caffeine, GMO ingredients and excess fillers.
- Use: mix one level scoop (4.8 g) with 450–530 ml of cold water and shake well.
Compared with standard sweet drinks for kids, Re-Lyte Kids is based on minerals, not sugar. The Pink Lemonade flavour uses organic natural lemon, strawberry and lime flavours; its pink colour comes from blackcurrant and carrot extract. Sweetness comes from stevia leaf extract, with no added sugar.
The lower salt content and slightly sweeter flavour profile are better aligned with kids’ preferences, without the need to add sugar. It can be diluted with more water if the child prefers an even milder taste.

Did you know?
- Kids and sweetened drinks – sweet fizzy drinks are an easily overlooked source of free sugar in a child’s diet. A standard can of sweetened drink can contain around 10 teaspoons of sugar.
- The school day and fluid intake – even mild fluid shortfall in kids can be linked with tiredness, less willingness to drink and lower comfort during a longer day. A gently flavoured drink with no added sugar can be a practical way to make drinking water more appealing.
- Underground origin of the salt – Unlike modern sea salt, which according to studies published in Scientific Reports (2018) often contains microplastics, Redmond salt comes from the protected Arapien Shale deposit. This deposit was formed by seawater evaporation during the Jurassic period and, because it lies deep underground, has remained isolated from present-day ocean pollution for millions of years.

Why choose Redmond
Redmond began in the US state of Utah in the late 1950s, when the Bosshardt family came across a large salt deposit while farming their own land. It was not an industrial discovery, but a natural find in land the family had worked for many years.
The deposit formed as the prehistoric Sundance Sea dried out and was covered for millions of years by sediment and bentonite clay formed from volcanic ash. This natural cover isolated the salt from the surrounding environment and helped keep it stable without the need for chemical processing. Redmond later used bentonite from the same layer separately too – as a raw material for products based on bentonite clay.
From the beginning, Redmond has worked with one long-term controlled deposit. The salt is not refined, but processed mechanically, with no bleaching and no additives. This helps it retain its natural mineral profile.
Over time, a local source became a producer known for products based on unrefined salt – from kitchen salts to electrolyte blends. The brand remains family-owned and continues its original approach: clear origin, transparent ingredients and simple use.
One salt deposit in Utah
All the salt comes from a single underground deposit in the US state of Utah. Redmond does not mix sources or rely on anonymous global supply.
Bentonite geology
The deposit was covered for a long time by bentonite clay formed from volcanic ash. This layer naturally isolated the salt from the surface environment.
Unrefined processing
The salt is not bleached or chemically cleaned; processing is mechanical and gentle. Because of its underground origin, it is not salt obtained by evaporating modern seawater.
Trace mineral content
Redmond Real Salt® naturally contains more than 60 trace minerals and elements. These include magnesium, potassium, calcium and iron.
The same source since the late 1950s
Mining and processing have taken place from the same deposit since the late 1950s. The source has not changed, which matters with natural raw materials.
Family company
The brand remains in the hands of the founding Bosshardt family. It is not a brand with frequently changing owners and strategy.
Made in the USA
Mining and processing take place in the USA in food-grade facilities. The result has a clear origin and is not a blend from several countries.
Functional products
Unrefined salt forms the basis of Re-Lyte electrolytes, seasonings and barbecue blends. Redmond processes bentonite clay for external and internal use depending on the product type.
Reviews from different platforms for Re-Lyte™ Kids Hydration
1. A taste kids ask for themselves
Customers on iHerb and Amazon most often praise the fact that, thanks to its naturally sweeter taste and reduced saltiness, the drink appeals even to kids who usually refuse plain water.
“Finally something my kids drink without persuasion. The taste is mild and it doesn’t have that aggressive saltiness you get with adult versions,” one review says.
2. Clean ingredients with no added sugar
Parents in reviews on the official Redmond website value the absence of added sugar and synthetic colours. Re-Lyte Kids provides electrolytes in a kids’ serving without sweeteners such as corn syrup.
Reviews often repeat trust in the formula, with no hidden sugar, caffeine or synthetic colours, which is key for modern parents.
3. Confidence in the paediatric formulation
For many users, according to discussions on specialist biohacking forums, a key factor is that the blend was developed in consultation with paediatricians. It contains a gentler amount of electrolytes than standard Re-Lyte Hydration.
Parents value the fact that Redmond prepared a separate kids’ version that respects the more sensitive child’s body.
4. Visual appeal from plant sources
Kids perceive the pink colour of the Pink Lemonade flavour in a similar way to classic lemonade, but the colour comes from plant extracts from carrot and blackcurrant (source: Redmond.life customer reviews).
Users confirm that the visual side of the drink helps make the move from sweetened juices to healthier hydration easier.
5. A practical drink for young athletes
Customers often mention it in Google reviews as an essential for active days – from football training to full-day trips, when heat-related tiredness may occur.
“We take it to every match. The kids stay focused for longer and aren’t as wiped out after exercise,” writes an active parent.
6. Easy preparation and practical use
According to user experience, the blend dissolves very well directly in a bottle. Thanks to the included scoop, dosing into a school bottle takes seconds.
Feedback confirms that you simply add the powder, shake and the drink is ready to drink straight away, without lumps.

FAQ
Why was Re-Lyte Kids developed in consultation with paediatricians?
Kids’ fluid intake and mineral intake cannot simply be based on adult servings. Re-Lyte Kids therefore uses a gentler electrolyte profile than standard Re-Lyte Hydration.
One serving contains 340 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium, 540 mg chloride, 50 mg calcium, 25 mg magnesium and 65 mg coconut water powder. The aim is a drink that kids accept more easily during the day and that does not take on the high mineral concentration of the adult blend.
What is the difference between Re-Lyte Kids and rehydration solutions from a pharmacy?
Pharmacy rehydration solutions are for specific situations, such as fluid losses linked with diarrhoea or vomiting. Re-Lyte Kids is a regular electrolyte drink for everyday hydration, sport, travel or warm weather.
Re-Lyte Kids contains no added sugar or glucose. It does not replace a medical rehydration solution or medical advice during acute health concerns.
Does Re-Lyte Kids contain synthetic colours or caffeine?
No. Re-Lyte Kids Hydration contains no synthetic colours or caffeine. The colour of each flavour comes from plant sources; for Pink Lemonade, it comes from blackcurrant and carrot extract.
The taste of the Pink Lemonade flavour comes from organic natural lemon, strawberry, lime and other organic flavours. Sweetness comes from stevia leaf extract, not added sugar.
Is it safe for a child to drink Re-Lyte Kids every day?
Re-Lyte Kids is formulated for everyday hydration for kids, especially during play, sport, travel or warm weather. Fluid and mineral needs vary according to age, activity, climate and the overall diet.
With several servings during the day, monitor overall electrolyte intake. For younger kids, where there are health restrictions or when taking medication, it is advisable to consult a paediatrician.
How is the stevia in the drink linked with dental health?
Re-Lyte Kids contains 0 g sugar per serving and is sweetened with stevia leaf extract. Compared with sweetened fizzy drinks or juices, it therefore does not add free sugars, which serve as a source for bacteria in the mouth involved in acid formation.
It is not, however, a dental protection product. The drink contains citric acid, so it is better not to use it as an all-day sipping drink in small sips, and to alternate it with plain water. Toothbrushing and regular dental check-ups remain the basis of dental care.
Why does the powder contain coconut water and how should the drink be prepared?
Coconut water powder is listed in the ingredients at 65 mg per serving. It complements the electrolyte formula and is also the reason why the product is labelled as containing coconut.
Prepare the drink with cold water and always shake well. Use more water if the child prefers a milder taste. Boiling water is not needed for preparation.
What are the small specks that may appear at the bottom of the bottle?
Small particles may be linked to the mineral components of unrefined Real Salt® or to the plant extracts used for colour. They do not automatically indicate a product fault.
Shake the bottle again before drinking. Natural sediment is common in blends with mineral and plant ingredients, especially if the drink has been standing for a while.
Where did the Redmond brand begin?
Redmond comes from the US state of Utah. The brand is closely linked with the salt deposit near the town of Redmond, where Redmond Real Salt® is mined.
This origin also underpins part of the Re-Lyte range: the electrolyte blends use Real Salt® as a source of sodium and chloride, complemented by other minerals.
What does Real Salt® mean in Redmond products?
Real Salt® is unrefined ancient sea salt from an underground deposit in Utah. It is not salt from today’s open sea or a blend from several anonymous sources.
Redmond processes it mechanically, without bleaching and without common anti-caking additives. In electrolyte drinks, it forms the basis of the mineral profile.
Is Redmond an organic brand?
Redmond is not an organic brand across the whole range. For mineral raw materials such as salt or electrolyte minerals, organic certification is not used in the same way as for agricultural ingredients.
With Re-Lyte Kids, the relevant point is that the formula uses organic natural flavours. For Redmond, the main criteria are traceable origin, simple ingredients and limiting unnecessary additives.
Why does Redmond emphasise simple ingredients?
Simplicity is one of Redmond’s main principles. In practice, this means clear formulations, clear origin of key raw materials and a minimum of ingredients that do not have a specific function in the formula.
In Re-Lyte Kids, this approach is reflected in the absence of added sugar, synthetic colours and caffeine. Taste, colour and the mineral profile are intended to be clear directly from the ingredients.
What other products does Redmond make?
Redmond is best known for its unrefined Real Salt®. The same approach to raw material origin also underpins Re-Lyte electrolyte blends, seasoning blends and bentonite clay products.
The range is connected by simple ingredients, clear origin of key raw materials and mechanical processing where the nature of the raw material allows it.
How does Re-Lyte Kids differ from regular Re-Lyte Hydration?
Re-Lyte Kids contains fewer electrolytes per serving than standard Re-Lyte Hydration. Redmond states that the kids’ version contains slightly less than half the electrolytes of the adult range serving.
The difference is most noticeable in sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium. The kids’ version also has a gentler taste, a less salty profile and a sweeter impression thanks to lower salt content and stevia.
Can adults drink Re-Lyte Kids too?
Yes. Re-Lyte Kids is primarily for kids, but it may also suit adults who want a gentler electrolyte drink with a less salty taste than the standard adult range.
This can be practical for everyday fluid intake, travel or situations where you do not want such a pronounced mineral concentration. For heavy physical exertion, standard Re-Lyte Hydration may be more appropriate for an adult.
Why does the kids’ version taste sweeter than Re-Lyte Hydration?
The kids’ formula contains less salt than the adult range, so it tastes less salty. Stevia leaf extract adds a sweeter impression, even though the drink contains no added sugar.
The taste is made to be more accessible for kids. If it is still too strong, one scoop can be mixed with a larger amount of water.
Can a child have more than one serving during the day?
The number of servings depends on the child’s age, activity, ambient temperature, diet and overall fluid intake. Re-Lyte Kids is lighter than the adult formula, but it is still sensible to monitor the overall amount of minerals consumed during the day.
During sports days, heat or longer time outdoors, fluid needs may be higher. Where there are health restrictions, dietary regimes or for younger kids, it is advisable to speak to a paediatrician.
Is Re-Lyte Kids appropriate for a school bottle?
Yes, it works practically in a school bottle because it is easy to prepare from one scoop and cold water. After mixing, shake the bottle well and let the child know that the drink may have light sediment at the bottom.
For all-day sipping, it is better to alternate Re-Lyte Kids with plain water. The drink contains citric acid, so it is not best for a child to drink only flavoured drink in small sips throughout the day.
When does Re-Lyte Kids make the most practical sense?
It is most useful during sport, outdoor play, travel, trips, warm weather or longer days when the child drinks less than usual. A mineral drink can be more practical than a sweetened fizzy drink or juice.
It is not a replacement for regular water or a varied diet. It is a supplement to fluid intake for situations when you want to provide fluids together with electrolytes and no added sugar.
Does Re-Lyte Kids contain added sugar?
No. One serving contains 0 g sugar and 0 g carbohydrates. Sweetness comes from stevia leaf extract, specifically rebaudioside A.
This is how Re-Lyte Kids differs from many flavoured drinks for kids, which are based mainly on sugar, syrup or fruit juice. Here, the taste comes from organic natural flavours and plant extracts for colour.
Is Re-Lyte Kids appropriate for a low-carbohydrate diet?
According to the declaration, Re-Lyte Kids has 0 g carbohydrates and 0 g sugar per serving. From this point of view, it also fits into a diet where sugar or carbohydrate intake is monitored.
For kids, however, the basis should be an appropriate, varied diet. Any significantly restrictive eating pattern in kids should be discussed with a specialist.
Is Re-Lyte Kids gluten-free?
Re-Lyte products are listed in Redmond’s database as gluten-free. With Re-Lyte Kids, it is also important to note that the product contains coconut in the form of coconut water powder.
For allergies or a strict elimination diet, always check the current label of the specific batch. Ingredients may vary by flavour.
Does Re-Lyte Kids contain coconut?
Yes. The ingredients list includes coconut water powder at 65 mg per serving. The product is therefore labelled with a notice that it contains coconut.
If the child has a coconut allergy or reacts sensitively to coconut ingredients, do not give the product without consulting a doctor.
Where does the taste of Pink Lemonade come from?
The Pink Lemonade flavour is based on organic natural lemon, strawberry and lime flavours, complemented by other organic flavours. It is not a taste created using added sugar.
For the kids’ range, Redmond states that the flavour components come from real organic fruit and organic natural flavours, which complete the final profile of the powder blend.
What does organic natural flavours mean?
Organic natural flavours are flavour components from natural sources that meet organic farming rules. Redmond uses them in Re-Lyte Kids because dried fruit in powder form may not by itself provide a stable and balanced taste.
The precise blend of flavours is part of the brand’s formula. For the customer, the important point is that these are not synthetic flavours and that the kids’ range uses organic flavour components.
Where does the colour of Pink Lemonade come from?
The pink colour of the Pink Lemonade flavour comes from plant sources, specifically blackcurrant and carrot extract. In the Kids range, Redmond uses fruit and vegetable extracts, not synthetic colours.
The colour may be less intense than in regular fizzy drinks with artificial colouring. This reflects the fact that it comes from a plant source.
Why does Re-Lyte Kids contain citric acid?
Citric acid helps create a fresh tartness and the drink’s flavour profile. In the Pink Lemonade flavour, it is important for the lemonade character without added sugar.
It is listed in the formula as non-GMO citric acid. Because it is an acidic component, it is better to alternate the drink with plain water and not let the child sip only flavoured drink throughout the day.
Which forms of magnesium are used in Re-Lyte Kids?
Magnesium in Re-Lyte Kids is listed as magnesium malate and magnesium glycinate. One serving contains a total of 25 mg magnesium.
Magnesium is not the main ingredient here in an isolated high amount. It is part of a broader electrolyte blend alongside sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium.
Why is calcium included?
Calcium in Re-Lyte Kids is listed as calcium carbonate. One serving contains 50 mg calcium, a smaller supplementary amount within the electrolyte profile.
The formula is not a standalone calcium supplement. Calcium complements the mineral composition of the drink alongside sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium.
Why are sodium and chloride listed separately on the label?
Sodium and chloride are listed separately because they are assessed as individual electrolytes in the nutrition table. In the formula, a significant part comes from ancient sea salt Redmond Real Salt®.
One serving contains 340 mg sodium and 540 mg chloride. These minerals form the basis of the blend’s electrolyte character.
Why use ancient salt instead of regular refined salt?
Redmond Real Salt® comes from an underground deposit in Utah and is processed mechanically. It is not bleached or refined in the same way as regular table salt.
For Redmond, traceable origin from a single deposit is important. In Re-Lyte Kids, this salt provides sodium, chloride and naturally occurring trace minerals.
Does Re-Lyte Kids contain artificial sweeteners?
Re-Lyte Kids uses stevia leaf extract, specifically rebaudioside A. It contains no added sugar, and the supplied ingredients do not list synthetic sweeteners such as aspartame or sucralose.
Stevia adds sweetness without sugar, but its taste can differ from classic sweetened drinks. For a milder taste, dilute the drink with more water.
Is Re-Lyte Kids practical for travel?
Yes, the powder form is practical for travel, trips, sports tournaments and longer car journeys. Take a bottle of water, a scoop of the blend and prepare the drink just before drinking.
When travelling in warm weather, it is sensible to maintain regular fluid intake and not leave a prepared drink standing in the heat for too long. Shake it again after mixing if mineral particles settle.
Can Re-Lyte Kids be mixed with drinks other than water?
The basic recommendation is to mix one level scoop in cold water. Water shows the drink’s taste most clearly and does not add sugar or other ingredients.
Mixing with juice or a sweetened drink changes the nutritional profile and increases sugar intake. If the taste is too strong, using more water is the better option.
How long does one pack last?
The pack contains 45 servings. At one serving per day, it lasts roughly a month and a half. With occasional use for sport, trips or warm days, it lasts longer.
Close the tub well after each use so the powder does not absorb moisture. Store it in a dry, cool place and out of reach of young children.
Why can the powder clump in the tub?
Electrolyte blends with minerals can naturally react to moisture. If damp air or a wet scoop gets into the tub, the powder may form small clumps.
Always close the tub carefully and keep the scoop dry. Minor clumping does not necessarily mean the product has spoiled, provided the powder has no changed smell, colour or other suspicious signs.
Is Re-Lyte Kids a replacement for a varied diet?
No. Re-Lyte Kids is a food supplement and does not replace a varied, balanced diet or regular fluid intake. It provides selected electrolytes in a drink with no added sugar.
For kids, the basis remains regular meals, enough plain water and appropriate mineral intake from everyday foods. Re-Lyte Kids is a practical supplement for specific situations, not a daily requirement.
When should you speak to a paediatrician before use?
Consulting a paediatrician is advisable for younger kids, kidney or heart disease, restricted sodium or potassium intake, medication use and any long-term health restrictions.
Medical advice is also appropriate during acute symptoms, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea or signs of dehydration. Re-Lyte Kids is not a medical rehydration product.
What does it mean that Redmond Real Salt® is OMRI Listed?
OMRI Listed means that, according to the stated certification, Redmond Real Salt® may be used in certified organic production or food processing under USDA National Organic Program rules.
It does not mean that the mineral salt itself is an organic agricultural ingredient. Mineral substances are assessed differently under organic rules than crops, fruit or herbs.
Does Redmond test its mineral raw materials?
Redmond carries out mineral analyses of Real Salt® and other certificates for selected raw materials. For Real Salt®, it emphasises its natural content of more than 60 trace minerals.

Redmond is an American brand built around simple, clean and minimally processed ingredients. Its story began in 1958 in central Utah, where brothers Milo and Lamar Bosshardt began working an underground deposit of ancient sea salt. This is the source of Real Salt® – an unrefined salt that became the foundation of Redmond’s present-day range.
The original business grew into a brand with a history rooted in two mineral resources from Utah – ancient sea salt and bentonite clay formed from ancient volcanic ash. Real Salt® and Redmond Clay® were gradually joined by Re-Lyte® electrolytes, Seasonings, Earthpaste® oral care and the newer Roots and Leaf ranges. Each category has a different use, but they share an emphasis on traceable ingredient origins, simple formulations and fewer unnecessary additives.
What Redmond products are known for:
- Its own salt source in Utah – Real Salt® comes from an underground deposit of ancient sea salt rather than being produced by evaporating water from modern oceans.
- Minimal processing – Real Salt® is mined, crushed and graded by grain size without industrial refining or bleaching.
- Transparency – Redmond makes the mineral analyses for Real Salt® and Redmond Clay® publicly available, along with documentation for selected certifications.
- Simple formulations – the focus on simple, easy-to-understand ingredients extends across electrolytes, seasonings, protein nutrition and personal care.

Who is behind Redmond
Redmond was founded in 1958 by brothers Milo and Lamar Bosshardt, farmers from the town of Redmond in Utah. They knew about the salt beneath their land but initially had no reason to use it commercially. A period of drought changed this, prompting them to look for another way to provide financially for their families. The underground deposit then became the foundation of a new business.
The Bosshardt family developed the company over the following decades. In the early 1990s, Rhett Roberts joined the business, first as a consultant and then as general manager. He later bought Redmond and now serves as CEO of Redmond Inc. Under his leadership, the original business expanded into other areas. Roberts is also the founder of Redmond Heritage Farms, which develops the concept of traditional, minimally processed farm foods.
Brand vision
Redmond aims to create products and environments that encourage people to make more considered everyday choices. The brand bases its approach on four areas: Real Ingredients, Elevated Human Experience, Intentional Living and Ongoing Evolution.
The first of these is directly reflected in its products. Redmond prioritises simple, clean and real ingredients and formulations that can be explained clearly. This principle has gradually extended from Real Salt® to electrolytes, seasonings, protein nutrition and personal care.
Intentional Living takes a broader view of everyday life: thinking consciously about what you use, what you eat and the habits you develop. Ongoing Evolution reflects the brand’s willingness to keep learning and improving both its products and the way it operates.
This approach also includes specific environmental and community initiatives. The Redmond Life Green Team works on areas such as reducing single-use plastics, cutting waste in shipping and developing recycling.
Brand mission
Redmond’s mission is to create products and experiences that encourage people to live more intentionally. In practice, the brand links this approach primarily with simple, real ingredients, transparency and ongoing product improvement.
This philosophy is particularly clear in Real Salt®. The salt comes from Redmond’s own underground source in Utah and is neither industrially refined nor bleached. It therefore retains the natural mineral character of the original deposit.
Re-Lyte® brings the mineral base of Real Salt® into electrolyte hydration. Seasoning blends extend its culinary use, while the newer Roots and Earthpaste ranges show how Redmond applies the same philosophy to protein nutrition and personal care.
Redmond therefore does not define itself solely as a salt producer. Real Salt® remains its historical foundation, but the current range is connected by a broader principle: knowing the origin of key ingredients, using straightforward formulations and avoiding unnecessary processing.
What are Real Salt® and Re-Lyte®, and what do they offer?
Real Salt® is an unrefined salt mined from an underground deposit in Utah, USA. It is not produced by evaporating modern seawater and is neither chemically refined nor bleached after mining. Alongside sodium chloride, it naturally contains other mineral elements that contribute to its characteristic colour and taste.
According to the available analytical data, sodium chloride makes up approximately 91–96 % by weight of Real Salt®. Its mineral profile includes calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron, among others, and the manufacturer reports more than 60 naturally occurring trace elements.
From a nutritional perspective, however, Real Salt® should primarily be regarded as salt, and therefore a source of sodium and chloride. The presence of dozens of trace elements does not mean that a typical serving of salt provides nutritionally significant amounts of all these minerals.
Real Salt® also contains only naturally occurring trace amounts of iodine. It is therefore not equivalent to iodised salt where salt is intended to provide a significant source of iodine in the diet.
Re-Lyte® is an electrolyte range based on the mineral foundation of Real Salt®. The current range includes several formulations for different uses, so it is important to check the ingredients of the specific variant.
The core Re-Lyte® Hydration formula is for replenishing electrolytes, for example during physical activity and heavier sweating. The formula combines sodium with other electrolytes; for magnesium, the manufacturer uses malate and bisglycinate.
For customers monitoring their carbohydrate intake, an important feature is the no added sugar formulation. Individual flavours and variants may differ, however, so it is worth checking the current label for the specific product.
Real Salt® and Re-Lyte® therefore serve different roles: the former is primarily a culinary salt, while the latter is a purposefully formulated electrolyte blend.
Redmond certifications and quality
Redmond’s quality control is based on knowing the origin of its key mineral resources and publishing analytical documentation. The manufacturer provides separate mineral analyses for Real Salt® and Redmond Clay®, along with other documents relating to safety and certifications. This transparency matters for natural mineral materials because it provides specific measured values rather than general claims about purity.
Real Salt® is OMRI Listed, allowing it to be used in certified organic production or food processing under the USDA National Organic Program rules. Redmond also publishes documentation for its Kosher certification. With the newer Roots range, the manufacturer has extended independent verification to protein nutrition: Roots Protein has received Informed Protein and Informed Choice certifications, covering verification of declared protein content, manufacturing standards and testing for banned substances.

Real Salt® comes from an underground deposit in central Utah, rather than from a modern ocean. Its origin is therefore fundamentally different from salts produced by evaporating present-day seawater.
After mining, the salt is mechanically processed and graded by crystal size. Redmond offers it in forms ranging from very fine through standard cooking salt to coarse crystals and Kosher Salt. The base ingredient is neither chemically refined nor bleached.
Real Salt® is therefore not perfectly white. Individual crystals may have pink, reddish or other natural tones associated with the mineral composition of the deposit.
What makes the difference
A practical distinction of Redmond’s own underground source is the traceable origin of the key ingredient. Real Salt® is directly linked to a specific deposit in Utah, and Redmond publishes its elemental analysis.
The same unrefined salt is available in several grain sizes depending on whether you need it for everyday cooking, baking, seasoning finished dishes or using in a grinder. Real Salt® also forms the basis of seasoning blends and other culinary products.
For electrolyte hydration, the brand has a separate Re-Lyte® range that combines sodium with other electrolytes. Real Salt® itself should therefore not automatically be treated as a complete electrolyte blend.
What makes Redmond products different
Redmond’s main distinction lies in combining long-standing experience with its own mineral resources and gradual expansion into other categories without moving away from the principle of simple, straightforward formulations.
Real Salt® is the original foundation of the brand. Re-Lyte® uses it in electrolyte products, while Seasonings extend its culinary use into seasoning blends. Redmond Clay® uses bentonite clay, and Earthpaste® incorporates it into oral care.
The range has gradually expanded to include Roots and Leaf. Roots Protein offers protein nutrition based on whey protein and a simple formulation, while Leaf develops the area of everyday personal care.
Another distinct part of the Redmond story is Redmond Clay®. This natural bentonite clay, also known as montmorillonite, is mined by the brand from its own deposit near its salt mine by Redmond, Utah. Its origins lie in ancient volcanic activity in the area: the material formed through the weathering of volcanic ash deposited millions of years ago. Redmond states that the local clay naturally contains both calcium and sodium, along with other trace mineral elements.
Bentonite clay appears not only as standalone Redmond Clay®, but also in other products from the brand. It is, for example, one of the core mineral ingredients in Earthpaste® oral care, while Redmond also draws on its experience with salt and clay in the newer Leaf range. Salt and bentonite clay are therefore the two original mineral resources from which Redmond’s broader present-day range has gradually developed.

Who are the experts at Redmond
Rhett Roberts – CEO Redmond Inc.
Company leadership and development
- He joined Redmond in the early 1990s after completing his MBA, first as a consultant and then as general manager.
- He later bought the company and currently serves as CEO of Redmond Inc.
- He helped expand the original mineral and agricultural business into today’s broader Redmond ecosystem and also founded Redmond Heritage Farms.
Expert product development
- Redmond states that Re-Lyte® Hydration was developed in collaboration with healthcare and fitness professionals.
- However, the brand does not provide a complete public list of this team or the qualifications of individual members. It would therefore not be accurate to present Redmond as a brand with a specifically named public scientific advisory board.
Laboratory and independent verification
- Redmond makes the mineral analyses for Real Salt® and Redmond Clay® publicly available, along with documentation for selected certifications.
- Real Salt® is OMRI Listed, and Redmond also publishes documentation for its Kosher certification.
- For Roots Protein, the brand uses the independent Informed Protein and Informed Choice certifications.
Redmond’s technical credibility therefore rests not on a publicly presented scientific advisory board, but primarily on long-standing work with its own mineral resources, transparent analytical documentation, expert collaboration in the development of specific formulations and independent verification of selected products.
The central idea behind Redmond is to create simple products from real ingredients whose origins and composition can be explained clearly. From unrefined Real Salt® and Re-Lyte® electrolytes to the newer Roots and Leaf ranges, the portfolio shares an emphasis on simple formulations, less unnecessary processing and transparency.
