— The Source
Great Salt Lake Trace Minerals.
An ancient inland sea, sun-concentrated over months and years into one of the most mineral-dense waters on Earth. Every drop of ERYTH begins here — 72+ ionic trace minerals, naturally low sodium, untouched by synthetic processing.

— Why this water
One source.
Seventy-two minerals.
Modern soils have been depleted for decades. Even a clean, whole-food diet routinely falls short on magnesium, selenium, iodine and the dozens of trace minerals that drive enzyme function, hydration and recovery.
The Great Salt Lake answers that gap with the entire elemental fingerprint of the Great Basin watershed — concentrated, ionic, and biologically recognizable. This is what makes Great Salt Lake trace minerals different from lab-isolated mineral salts: you absorb them in the ratio your cells already expect.

01 — Where it begins
A relic of the Pleistocene.
The Great Salt Lake is the surviving fragment of Lake Bonneville — the freshwater inland sea that once covered most of the Great Basin during the last ice age. As the climate warmed, the water receded, leaving behind a single, hyper-concentrated body of brine.
Geological filtration through the surrounding Wasatch and Uinta mountains has deposited every soluble mineral the watershed can give into a single inland sea. What remains today is one of the most mineral-dense waters on Earth.
The result is a chemistry no laboratory can replicate. Magnesium and potassium dominate. Sodium chloride sits secondary. Dozens of ultra-trace minerals — boron, lithium, vanadium, strontium — round out the spectrum.
This is the water we begin with. Everything else is reduction, never addition.
02 — Why it matters
Ionic. Whole-spectrum. Cellularly alive.
ERYTH carries every mineral in its natural ionic form — the only form your cells recognize without conversion. No chelates, no oxides, no reconstructions. The full elemental fingerprint of the lake, concentrated and made drinkable.
The ratio of magnesium to sodium to potassium mirrors the chemistry of the water inside your own cells. That is why it works as quickly as it does — minutes, not hours. Potassium runs naturally low in the lake, so a measured amount is blended back in to balance the electrolyte profile — every other mineral comes straight from the brine.
03 — From the lake to the bottle
Sun. Time. Patience.
The trace minerals in every ERYTH bottle are solar-harvested in Utah by our long-standing mineral partner — a family-run operation that has been concentrating Great Salt Lake brine for decades. Here is their process, end to end.
Pump from the lake
Crude brine is drawn from regulated zones of Utah's Great Salt Lake and pumped into shallow solar evaporation ponds along the shoreline.
Solar concentrate
A 100% natural solar process driven by Utah's high-altitude sun reduces the brine over months — up to roughly two years for the most concentrated magnesium blends. Sodium chloride precipitates out first, so magnesium, potassium and 70+ trace elements concentrate further.
Tanker & temper
The mineral-dense concentrate is transported by tanker truck to the bottling facility and tempered in large stainless holding tanks before processing.
Lab verify
Every batch is analyzed for mineral content, physical properties and microbial load, plus independent heavy-metal testing (arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium) against California Prop 65 limits.
Filter & bottle
Filtered on an automated liquid fill line into apothecary-grade cobalt glass to shield every ion from light and oxidation. From ancient lake to dropper — untouched by plastic, heat or synthetic processing.

— Stewardship
Harvested with the lake in mind.
The Great Salt Lake is a fragile ecosystem and a critical migratory bird habitat. We work exclusively with Utah operators who use passive solar evaporation in shoreline ponds, draw from regulated brine zones, and tanker the finished concentrate to a single bottling facility — no offshore processing, no industrial heat, no synthetic additions.
Every batch is third-party tested for arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium, and meets or exceeds California Prop 65 standards. Transparency is non-negotiable — the certificate of analysis ships with every order on request.

Questions about the source.
Every drop of ERYTH is sourced from a single ancient water body — the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The lake is what remains of Pleistocene-era Lake Bonneville, and its brine holds more than 70 ionic trace minerals concentrated from the surrounding Wasatch and Uinta watershed. We harvest, purify, and bottle from this one source — no blends, no isolates, no reconstructions.
Because it is hyper-concentrated and whole-spectrum. The lake holds the dissolved mineral fingerprint of the entire Great Basin watershed in a ratio that closely mirrors the fluid inside your cells. That natural ratio of magnesium, potassium, sodium, and 70+ trace elements is the reason ionic minerals from the Great Salt Lake absorb faster than lab-isolated mineral salts.
ERYTH carries 72+ ionic trace minerals — including magnesium, potassium, chloride, zinc, selenium, chromium, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, boron, lithium, vanadium and strontium — alongside dozens of ultra-trace elements present in the original brine.
Solar evaporation takes time, and the concentration level depends on how long the brine sits in the pond. Lighter blends concentrate over a season of Utah sun; the most premium magnesium-dominant blends take roughly two years for nature to perfect. The longer the residence time, the more sodium chloride precipitates out and the more concentrated the remaining trace minerals become.
Yes. Every batch is independently tested for arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium and meets or exceeds California Prop 65 limits. Each batch is also lab-verified for mineral content, physical properties and microbial load before bottling. The solar evaporation and filtration process removes sediment and heavy metals while preserving the natural ionic mineral profile.
Sodium chloride crystallizes and precipitates out of the brine first during solar evaporation. As that salt drops out, the magnesium, potassium and trace elements left in solution concentrate further. What ships in the bottle is a deeply concentrated mineral brine that is naturally low in sodium and exceptionally high in magnesium and trace elements — the opposite ratio of most sea-derived products.
Powdered electrolytes typically contain three or four lab-synthesized salts (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium citrate). Solar-harvested ionic minerals from the Great Salt Lake deliver the full mineral spectrum already dissolved into the form your cells recognize — no binders, sweeteners or fillers required.
