Reduce mucus and inflammation...
All three ingredients have human research behind them: sodium for holding onto the water you drink, potassium bicarbonate for normal acid-base and mineral balance in a New England Journal of Medicine metabolic study, and vitamin C status for everyday energy. Measured out so you don't have to.
For adults and practitioners who want the classic recipe pre-blended. 30, 60, or 90 day powder, or 150, 300, and 450 capsules.
- Whole-Food Vitamin C
- Organic Camu Camu
- 3rd Party Lab Tested
- USP Grade Potassium
- No Synthetic Ascorbic Acid
- No Fillers
- No Sugar
- No Flavors
Why people use it
- Whole-food vitamin C, not ascorbic acid. About 519 mg per serving from organic camu camu, in the fruit matrix it grew in. Vitamin C is required for normal collagen formation and is an antioxidant.
- Sodium and chloride from real sea salt. A quarter teaspoon of unrefined high-mineral sea salt per serving. In a randomized trial of 72 men, drinks carrying sodium left more fluid on board over four hours than plain water did.
- Potassium in the alkaline form. USP-grade potassium bicarbonate, the salt studied in controlled metabolic balance work for its role in normal acid-base and mineral balance.
- One scoop instead of three. The recipe is public. What you're buying is the measuring, the sourcing, and the lab testing on all three inputs.
- Supports normal iron absorption from plant foods. Vitamin C improves nonheme iron uptake, which is worth knowing if your iron comes mostly from vegetables. See the note on iron below.
What you're getting (approximate)
Per one serving: 1 1/2 teaspoons of powder, or 5 capsules. Built from the vendor figures for the camu camu and sea salt portions.
| Nutrient | Per serving |
|---|---|
| Vitamin C | ~519 mg |
| Sodium | ~330 mg |
| Chloride | ~842 mg |
| Magnesium | ~21.6 mg |
| Calcium | ~11.2 mg |
| Potassium | pending weighed value |
Approximate, not a lot-specific assay. Vitamin C from the camu camu label figure of ~519 mg per teaspoon; sodium, chloride, magnesium, and calcium from the Salt of Life typical values per 1.5 g. Potassium is shown as pending: the bicarbonate portion is measured by volume, and we're getting that quarter teaspoon weighed so we can publish the milligrams. The pure salt runs about 391 mg elemental potassium per gram. Ask us for the current certificate of analysis.
How to use
- One serving first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, in juice, water, or as capsules. Then wait a full hour before your first meal.
- Powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons is a serving. Capsules: 5 capsules is a serving.
- You can work up to 2 or 3 servings a day, spaced before meals or later in the day. Start slow and adjust to comfort.
- Splitting into two or three smaller servings retains more vitamin C than one large morning dose, because vitamin C is water soluble and cleared quickly.
- Don't go past 3 servings a day without professional guidance.
- If the empty-stomach routine upsets your stomach, taking it with food is a reasonable change to discuss with your provider.
Sourcing & making
Three lab-tested ingredients and nothing else: organic camu camu powder, third-party lab tested Salt of Life high-mineral sea salt, and USP-grade potassium bicarbonate. Each one is sold on its own here, so you can check what goes in before you buy the blend. Powder and capsules use the same formula; capsule shells are bovine gelatin. Blended in small batches when you order.
Full ingredients
- Organic Camu Camu Powder (Whole-Food Vitamin C)
- 3rd Party Lab Tested Salt of Life High Mineral Sea-Salt
- USP Grade Potassium Bi-Carbonate
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want whole-food vitamin C and morning electrolytes in one measured serving
- Practitioners who currently have clients assembling this from three jars and a quarter-teaspoon
- Anyone who travels and would rather carry capsules than three powders
Probably not for you if:
- You have been advised to limit sodium. A serving carries about 330 mg before anything you eat.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround. The sea salt portion is third-party tested as well.
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Vitamin C (whole-food camu camu source in this product)
Nutrition Journal · 2012 · RCT · n=141
In a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial of 141 office workers, a single 10 g intravenous dose of vitamin C lowered fatigue scores within two hours and for one day versus saline, with the largest effect in those with lower baseline vitamin C.
Potassium bicarbonate
The New England Journal of Medicine · 1994 · controlled metabolic balance trial · n=18
In a controlled metabolic balance study of 18 postmenopausal women, 60–120 mmol/day of potassium bicarbonate for 18 days neutralized endogenous acid and improved calcium and phosphorus balance.
Sodium (high-mineral sea salt)
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition · 2016 · RCT · n=72
In a randomized trial in 72 healthy men, beverages containing sodium produced smaller urine output and greater fluid retention over four hours than plain water.
Evidence note: Moderate: each of the three inputs has human evidence behind it, with the strongest vitamin C fatigue trial using an intravenous dose. The combination is a traditional recipe rather than a studied formula, so we publish what each ingredient contributes.
A note on iron
Iron is essential, but stored and unbound iron is reactive; it feeds oxidative stress. The body moves iron using copper-dependent ceruloplasmin and vitamin A, which is why we focus on whole-food copper and retinol rather than pushing more iron. If you are considering iron, test your levels first and talk it through with your practitioner. Iron is not right for everyone.

FAQ
How much vitamin C is in a serving?
About 519 mg, from the camu camu label figure of 519 mg per teaspoon. Count other vitamin C sources too.
How much potassium is in it?
The recipe measures potassium bicarbonate by volume, so we publish the material's figure rather than an estimate: the pure salt carries about 391 mg of elemental potassium per gram. We've asked our blender for the weighed value of the quarter teaspoon and we'll put the number on this page as soon as we have it.
Powder or capsules?
Five capsules equals one and a half teaspoons of powder, same formula. Powder mixes into juice or water and lets you adjust the amount; capsules travel. Capsule shells are bovine gelatin, which rules them out for some diets.
Why wait an hour before eating?
It's how the recipe has always been run: vitamin C is water soluble and absorbs readily on an empty stomach, and the minerals go in ahead of the day's first meal. If it doesn't sit well, move it to a meal. Nothing about the blend requires an empty stomach.
Does this replace a magnesium supplement?
No. If magnesium is the goal, use malate or bis-glycinate. This one doesn't do that job.
Pairs well with
- Camu Camu Powder — the vitamin C in this blend, on its own
- Salt of Life — the sea salt in this blend, on its own
- Magnesium Malate — the magnesium this blend deliberately doesn't cover
Cautions
- Do not exceed 3 servings per day without professional guidance.
- Capsule versions contain bovine gelatin. Noted if you're following a plant-based diet.
- Store cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Best within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Small Batch
Made in small batches, about as close to homemade as a capsule gets.
Nothing Hidden
Three ingredients, all sold separately here. No fillers, sugar, or flavors.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Nutrient figures are approximate reference values, not a lot-specific assay.
