    Balanced 88 Gold Sodium™

    Balanced 88 Gold Sodium™: every stick carries 88mg of sodium (4% DV) from our mineral sea salt, which the producer's published mineral analysis lists at 90+ trace minerals. It isn't less sodium for its own sake; it's the right amount, from a source we can point you to.

    • Full Supplement Facts panel published for every flavor
    • Zero sugar, zero sucralose, sweetened with organic stevia
    • 6 functional mushrooms in the Electrolibrium™ blend

    Third-party lab certificates and facility registration documents will be posted here in full once received from the manufacturer. We don’t claim third-party testing until the document is on this page.
