Science + Formula

What It Is:

Baja Gold™ Sea Salt is a naturally mineral-rich source of sodium and trace electrolytes harvested from the Sea of Cortez. Its low-sodium, high-mineral composition delivers sodium in concert with magnesium, potassium, and calcium—closely reflecting the body’s native electrolyte ratios. In hydration physiology, this broad mineral spectrum supports fluid balance, osmotic regulation, and neuromuscular function, helping water move efficiently across cellular membranes.

Where It Comes From:

Baja Gold Salt Co.

Harvested from the pristine coastal lagoons of Baja California, Mexico, where mineral-dense seawater from the Sea of Cortez naturally evaporates under intense desert sun and steady winds. The result is an unrefined, solar-dried sea salt that retains its full complement of trace minerals and a naturally light, clean flavor profile.

Our supply is:

• Unrefined Sea of Cortez sea salt containing sodium chloride and naturally occurring magnesium, potassium, and calcium
• Free from anti-caking agents, flow aids, or synthetic conditioners
• Solar-evaporated, harvested, and lightly air dried using sustainable,
  chemical-free methods
• Processed and packaged in a certified facility meeting international food-safety and purity standards
• Fully traceable from lagoon to lot, with annual testing for heavy metals, microbiological safety, and mineral profile

Why It Matters (Including for GLP-1 Journeys):

When calorie intake drops or appetite is reduced — as often happens during GLP-1 journey— sodium intake from food also declines. Adequate sodium is critical to prevent dehydration, support blood pressure stability, and maintain energy during daily activity.

Why We Chose Baja Gold™ Mineral Sea Salt:

We selected Baja Gold™ because it delivers sodium in a natural, mineral-balanced form. It’s unrefined, additive-free, and provides trace magnesium and calcium that complement electrolyte balance. However, because sea salts naturally vary in trace metals, we use strict sourcing and Prop 65-driven heavy-metal screening to ensure safety and compliance.

The Dose (500 mg Sodium per serving):

This serving level is clinically aligned to replenish what’s most often lost in sweat and what’s commonly under-consumed in reduced-calorie diets. It provides enough sodium to support hydration, performance, and cognitive function without exceeding dietary guidelines.

Why It Works Best with Potassium and Magnesium:

Electrolytes work in synergy — sodium pulls water into the bloodstream, potassium drives it into cells, and magnesium helps keep the system in balance. That’s why TerraLyte uses all three in precise ratios, reflecting the body’s own electrolyte physiology.*

What It Is:

Tripotassium Citrate is the primary intracellular electrolyte — essential for fluid movement, nerve transmission, and muscle function. It works alongside sodium to keep hydration and cellular electrical activity in balance.

Where It Comes From:

Jungbunzlauer

Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Jungbunzlauer is one of the world’s leading producers of bio-based ingredients. Their potassium citrate is:

• Potassium Citrate, USP/Ph. Eur./FCC Grade, non-GMO and allergen free
  
• Produced at Jungbunzlauer’s state-of-the-art facility in Ladenburg, Germany
  
• Clean-label, fully traceable, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality certification
  
• High purity and pharmacopeia compliant (USP, Ph. Eur., FCC, EU 231/2012)
  
• Free from allergens and not derived from genetically modified organisms
  

Why It Matters (Including for GLP-1 Journeys):

For many people — especially those eating less or adjusting to new health routines — potassium intake from foods can fall short. Potassium is a key electrolyte that helps maintain hydration and supports everyday energy, focus, and muscle performance.

Why We Chose Potassium Citrate:

We use potassium citrate because it is one of the most bioavailable and gentle forms available. It’s well tolerated, highly soluble, and blends cleanly into powder formulas. Our potassium citrate is pharmacopeia-grade (USP/Ph. Eur./FCC) and non-GMO, sourced from Jungbunzlauer for quality, consistency, and transparency.

The Dose (400 mg per serving):

This science-based level helps support hydration at the cellular level. It also works synergistically with sodium and magnesium to optimize electrolyte balance.

Why It Works Best with Sodium and Magnesium:

Potassium doesn’t act alone. In the body, electrolytes work in partnership: sodium helps move potassium into cells, while magnesium helps keep it there. That’s why TerraLyte uses all three — in carefully balanced ratios — to reflect how real hydration works inside the body.*

What It Is:

Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body — from energy production and nerve conduction to protein synthesis, healthy glucose metabolism, and muscle recovery.

Where It Comes From:

Albion® Minerals — a division of Balchem Corporation

• Grade: USP, highly bioavailable

• Certifications: non-GMO, kosher, gluten-free, vegan friendly

Why Albion® Is Trusted:

• TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) is a patented method that binds minerals to amino acids in a stable, absorbable form.

• Extensively studied for bioavailability, GI tolerance, and cellular uptake.

• Used in many clinical nutrition and practitioner-grade formulas.
  
• Free of poorly absorbed forms like oxide or carbonate.
  

Why It Matters (Including for GLP-1 Journeys):

Many people today consume less magnesium-rich foods (like leafy greens, nuts, and seeds), and daily demands may increase during periods of stress, fasting, or appetite changes. Magnesium is essential for hydration balance, energy, and recovery — making it especially relevant for individuals on structured health journeys, including GLP-1.

Why We Chose Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate:

We use the patented, clinically validated Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate — a form where magnesium is fully bonded to two glycine molecules. This true, fully reacted bisglycinate is recognized by the body as an amino acid–like structure, dramatically improving absorption and minimizing the GI distress common with low-grade blends or inorganic salts like magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate.

This form is:

• Highly bioavailable

Magnesium bisglycinate bypasses the mineral transport competition seen in other forms and uses amino acid pathways for absorption, leading to superior uptake even in states of reduced digestive efficiency.

• Gentle on the digestive system

Because it avoids the laxative effect seen with magnesium oxide, citrate, and other poorly absorbed salts, this chelate supports consistent daily use without causing loose stools or GI urgency.

• Ideal for sensitive users

Well-tolerated even during fasting, low-calorie intake, or GLP-1–induced slowed gastric emptying — a key benefit for our target population.

• Designed for daily use without GI discomfort

Clinically backed and proven to maintain stable magnesium status long-term, while remaining easy on the stomach and unlikely to trigger nausea, cramps, or bloating.

The Dose (100mg per serving):

Each serving provides 100mg of elemental magnesium — a meaningful, safe amount that complements the magnesium naturally present in Baja Gold Sea Salt.

Why It Works Best with Sodium and Potassium:

Electrolytes work in synergy. Magnesium helps potassium stay inside cells and supports sodium balance. It also plays a role in energy metabolism, muscle relaxation, and overall electrolyte stability — making it a cornerstone of TerraLyte’s hydration system.*

What It Is:

Chloride is the third major electrolyte — working alongside sodium and potassium to help maintain fluid balance, support stomach acid production, and contribute to healthy nerve and muscle function. It’s often overlooked, but it’s essential for both hydration and digestion.

Where It Comes From:

Baja Salt Co.

TerraLyte Balance provides chloride from mineral sea salt, which contains sodium chloride along with trace minerals. It is non-synthetic, highly soluble, and easily absorbed.

Why It Matters (Including for GLP-1 Journeys):

For individuals consuming less food or adjusting to new health routines, chloride can play an important role in hydration and digestion. As a precursor to hydrochloric acid (HCl), it supports normal protein breakdown and helps maintain mineral absorption. Along with sodium and potassium, chloride also helps maintain electrolyte balance during periods of increased fluid loss, such as exercise, heat exposure, or fasting.

Why We Included It in a Supportive Ratio:

• Too little chloride can compromise hydration.

• Too much chloride from harsh, synthetic forms can upset the stomach.

• TerraLyte mirrors natural intake ratios, providing sodium, potassium, and chloride together in harmony, not isolation.
  

The Dose (800mg per serving):

Each serving provides a balanced amount of chloride to help replace what’s commonly lost through fluid shifts, especially when combined with TerraLyte’s functional levels of sodium and potassium.*

What It Is:

Using a form with enhanced absorption and retention helps support consistent daily nutrient status—especially important when dietary intake is reduced or irregular.

Why We Chose PureWay-C® :

Standard ascorbic acid can cause digestive discomfort or loose stools at moderate to high doses. PureWay-C® is specifically designed to overcome these limitations.

Based on the data provided in the PureWay-C® research report:

• 233% faster cellular uptake than standard vitamin C
  
• 74% greater intracellular retention at 120 minutes
  
• Complete free-radical neutralization at tested concentrations
  
• Liposomal protection reduces degradation during digestion
  
• Enhanced support for tissue repair, collagen renewal, and immune response
  

The Dose (100mg per serving):

Each serving provides 100mg of vitamin C — well above the RDA, but far below megadoses that can overwhelm absorption. This level is ideal for daily replenishment, especially for individuals eating fewer vitamin C–rich foods.*
