Salties Clinical Trial
Effects of Salties Electrolyte Additive on Hydration and Drinking Behaviour During Prolonged Outdoor Work
University of Montana — Human Performance Laboratory
Peer-reviewed • Wilderness & Environmental Medicine 19 (2008)
- Randomised, Double-Blind Field Study
- 16 Healthy Adults (Men & Women)
- 15-Hour Continuous Work-Shift
- High-Heat (≈ 29-38 °C) Conditions
- Hydration & Temperature Tracked Continuously

Key Findings
Participants maintained hydration (body-weight Δ < 2 % and stable urine-specific gravity) while carrying and consuming 43 % less liquid when Salties electrolytes were added to their water.
(1) Salties Cuts Fluid Requirement Without Compromising Hydration
Self-selected intake during a 15-hour shift
Plain Water
Water + Salties
Average Fluid Consumed per Hour
Using Salties let people drink ~220 mL less every hour, reducing the amount of liquid they needed to carry.
(2) Body Temperature Stayed Steady
Core & skin temps matched plain water
- Core and skin temperatures remained within a healthy range for all participants.
- No measurable difference between Salties and plain-water groups.
(3) Hydration Markers Confirm Balance
Body-weight & urine-specific gravity, pre- vs post-shift
- Average body-weight change stayed under 1.5 % in both groups.
- Urine-specific gravity rose modestly yet equivalently, indicating maintained hydration.
Everyday Advantage
Less Liquid to Carry, Same Hydration
- 43 % less water weight to lug around during work, workouts, or outdoor adventures.
- Stable body temperature and hydration markers—no compromise on safety or performance.
