Why we chose Redmond Real Salt™ for PraveBio.cz
Redmond Real Salt™ is a clean, well-balanced ancient sea salt made for everyday cooking. It comes from a protected underground deposit of an ancient fossil sea in Utah and is never chemically refined. Unlike standard sea salt, it never comes into contact with modern oceans – meaning no microplastics or industrial contamination. Compared to Celtic salt, it isn’t damp and has none of that metallic or earthy aftertaste. And unlike Himalayan salt, it’s milder, less bitter, and doesn’t overpower food – it simply brings flavours into sharper focus. It naturally contains over 60 trace minerals. The seasoned blends contain no added sugar, artificial flavours or colours, and no fillers such as starches or maltodextrin, no flavour enhancers like MSG, and no anti-caking agents.

The Difference Between Redmond Real Salt®, Celtic and Himalayan Salt
Choosing the right salt for the kitchen can be difficult. Three popular natural options are Redmond Real Salt®, Celtic salt and Himalayan pink salt. Here are the main differences.
Redmond Real Salt®
Redmond Real Salt comes from an ancient deposit in Utah, USA. It is 100% natural and unrefined, with a varied mineral composition that gives it its characteristic pink to red colour.
The salt deposit is millions of years old and dates back to a period before modern pollution. The entire mining and processing operation also takes place in Redmond, providing quality control and sustainable production practices. The salt is mined and packed with a minimal impact on the environment, with two solar farms supplying power to the operations.
Celtic Salt
Celtic salt is harvested by hand from seawater in France. It comes from the modern ocean, which is exposed to current environmental issues such as heavy metals, microplastics and other human-made pollution. It nevertheless remains a useful option for those looking for a natural, unrefined salt with a distinctive flavour and moisture.
Himalayan Salt
Himalayan salt is mined from an ancient deposit in the Khewra region of Pakistan, much like Real Salt. Both salts contain a broad range of minerals and are considered crystalline salts.
Himalayan salt has a more earthy flavour, while Real Salt is milder and slightly sweet.
Natural Salt Contains Trace Minerals
Just as wholemeal flour looks darker and more textured than white refined flour, Real Salt is healthier than standard salts because of what remains preserved in it. It contains 98 % sodium chloride and 2 % trace minerals, with more than 60 different types.
Some of these minerals do not dissolve in water. If you add Real Salt to water, you may notice insoluble trace minerals that can look like grains of sand or salt.
Dr James DiNicolantonio, in The Salt Fix, and Dr David Brownstein, in Salt Your Way to Health, emphasise the importance of trace minerals in unrefined salts such as Real Salt.
Other natural salts, including Celtic salt from France and Himalayan salt from Pakistan, contain similar levels of trace minerals. People often notice that these salts dissolve more completely in water than Real Salt and ask why.
The exact reason is not known, but most of the insoluble granules in Real Salt consist of silicon, which occurs naturally in healthy bones and joints.
Just as some people do not enjoy wholemeal flour, others may not appreciate the naturally occurring trace minerals in Real Salt.
At Redmond, however, the view is that removing these minerals would alter what nature created and require more extensive processing.
Real Salt retains all its naturally occurring trace minerals, making it the best-selling salt in health food stores across the USA.
Real Salt and the Composition of Human Blood
Natural crystalline salt such as Redmond salt is much more than sodium chloride: rather than just two elements, it contains more than 60 trace elements. These are the same natural elements found in the human body and from which life once developed in the primeval ocean. Human blood contains approximately 0.9% sodium chloride, and the chemical composition of seawater, in terms of salt content, is similar to the composition of human blood plasma.
Salt water is also the natural environment in which the human foetus develops. Remarkably, blood still has the same concentration of water and salt solution, or brine, as the primeval ocean had when life left the sea. This brine flows through more than 90 thousand kilometres of fluid pathways in the body and helps maintain the balanced and regulated functioning of the body. Real Salt is therefore extremely important for our health.
Real Salt® – Worth Its Salt?
Real Salt™ is more than 200 million years old and exceptionally pristine – Redmond mines and processes it in the form in which it has been stored underground for millions of years, completely unexposed to modern pollution. The salt undergoes regular analysis by independent biochemical and biophysical institutes in the USA.
It is the best-selling natural sea salt in the USA, and its distinctive flavour was recognised in 2002, when it received a Gold Medal in the "Most Delicious Natural Salt" category from the American Culinary Institute.
The coarse-grain version suits anyone who prefers the freshest possible flavour of sea salt when adding the finishing seasoning to dishes.

FAQ
Does Real Salt® contain the iodine we need?
Unrefined sea salt contains a small amount of naturally occurring iodine. Most salt manufacturers, however, remove trace minerals and add artificial iodine so the salt can be labelled “iodised”. Redmond Real Salt® is an ancient, unrefined sea salt that retains more than 60 naturally occurring minerals, including a small amount of iodine, without anything being added.
How much iodine does one serving of Real Salt® contain?
Each ¼ teaspoon of Real Salt® contains approximately 18-23 micrograms of naturally occurring iodine. This is just over 10 % of the recommended daily intake according to the Institute of Medicine (150 micrograms). The amount is lower than in artificially iodised salts, but comes from an entirely natural source.
Is iodised salt the best source of iodine?
No. Natural sources of iodine are better absorbed by the body than artificially added iodine in iodised salt. We therefore recommend including iodine-rich foods such as seaweed in the diet, or using quality food supplements. For a straightforward, natural way to supplement iodine, try Re-Lyte® Hydration Support Plus Capsules, which contain 150 mcg of iodine from natural seaweed, together with simple electrolytes for optimal hydration.
Does Real Salt® contain heavy metals?
Yes, Real Salt® contains trace amounts of naturally occurring elements, including some metals. These elements occur naturally in the environment and are very different from man-made heavy metals, which are often toxic. In Real Salt®, these elements are bound to other naturally occurring substances and are generally considered safe.
How much heavy metal does Real Salt® contain?
The trace amounts of heavy metals in Real Salt® are very low. For example, the lead content is no more than 200 ppb (parts per billion), which means that consuming 6 grams of salt per day provides only 1.2 micrograms of lead. By comparison, you may consume considerably more lead from water without exceeding the safety limits set by authorities.
Is Real Salt® safe to consume?
Yes, Real Salt® is safe. The salt is tested for safety and purity, and its quality is supported by decades of use and positive customer experience. For a more detailed look at the composition of Real Salt®, see the latest mineral analysis available on the manufacturer's website.
Is Real Salt® protected from radiation?
Have you ever wondered whether Real Salt® could have been affected by nuclear testing in Nevada in 1950? It is a reasonable question. Real Salt® has been thoroughly tested with a Geiger counter and no radiation was detected.
Does Real Salt® expire?
No, Real Salt never expires because natural salt without additives does not spoil. The “Best By” date on the packaging is included only because of retail requirements, but the salt remains usable indefinitely.
Why does my organic seasoning taste or look different?
Real Salt® seasonings contain natural ingredients, so some natural variation can occur. The recipes do not change and the same herbs and spices are still used, but natural ingredients can vary slightly – just as fruit bought from a shop may differ a little in flavour or colour from one day to the next. The focus remains on maintaining the quality and flavour of the products.
Are Real Salt® organic seasonings vegetarian or vegan?
All Real Salt® seasonings are vegetarian and most are also vegan. The only exception is Wasatch Steak, which contains butter powder and is not vegan. The other blends (Taco, Chili Lime, Red Rock BBQ, Season Salt, Onion Salt, Garlic Salt, Lemon Pepper and Garlic Pepper) are entirely plant-based.
Are Real Salt® and Real Salt Seasoning products certified kosher?
Yes, all Real Salt® and Real Salt Seasoning® products are kosher certified. They are not certified kosher for Passover, however, because production is not supervised by a rabbi. If you would like to use the salt during Passover, we recommend consulting your rabbi.
Are Real Salt® organic seasonings keto?
The ingredients in all our seasonings are keto-friendly, but the products are not keto certified.

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.
Why choose Redmond: quality, purity, verified safety
The natural mineral profile of Real Salt®
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.
