Product Description
Product Description
Ortha Salt Capsules were formulated for people who need more sodium than standard sports products provide — and who can't afford reactions from filler ingredients. Each serving (2 capsules) delivers 750mg sodium, 250mg potassium, and 25mg Vitamin C. The sodium supports blood volume. The potassium helps regulate fluid balance. The Vitamin C supports the body's natural histamine breakdown process — a deliberate choice for the MCAS community.
Ortha contains no maltodextrin, no preservatives, no artificial dyes, no sweeteners, and no citric acid. The capsule shell is vegetarian. That's the complete ingredient list.

What makes Ortha different from Vitassium or other salt capsules?
What makes Ortha different from Vitassium or other salt capsules?
Three things stand out:
1. More sodium per capsule. Ortha delivers 750mg per 2-cap serving. Vitassium delivers 500mg. That means you need fewer Ortha caps to hit your daily protocol — which matters when you're taking 8–12 caps a day.
2. Vitamin C for histamine support. Ortha includes 25mg of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) per serving. Vitamin C supports the activity of diamine oxidase (DAO), the enzyme responsible for breaking down histamine in the body. No other salt capsule on the market combines sodium with Vitamin C for this reason.
3. Built for MCAS, not just POTS. Ortha contains no ingredients commonly flagged as mast cell triggers: no citric acid, no maltodextrin, no artificial preservatives, no dyes, no sweeteners. Most salt capsule brands are designed for dysautonomia broadly. Ortha was formulated with MCAS overlap specifically in mind.
How many capsules should I take per day?
How many capsules should I take per day?
Most POTS patients are directed by their doctors to consume between 3,000–10,000mg of sodium daily, depending on their individual protocol.
At 750mg sodium per 2-capsule serving, a common approach:
• 3,000mg/day = 8 capsules
• 6,000mg/day = 16 capsules
• 8,000mg/day = approximately 22 capsules
Many people split their daily intake across 3–4 windows: morning, midday, mid-afternoon, and evening. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific guidance. Start with a lower amount and increase gradually.
Always take capsules with water. Minimum 8oz per serving. Taking on an empty stomach without water can cause discomfort.
Why does Ortha include Vitamin C?
Why does Ortha include Vitamin C?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has been studied for its role in supporting the body's natural histamine regulation. Specifically, it supports the activity of diamine oxidase (DAO) — the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary and ingested histamine. For people managing MCAS alongside POTS, this small addition is intentional.
It's not a treatment or a cure for MCAS. But for a community that has to scrutinize every ingredient in every supplement, it's a purposeful choice — not a marketing add-on.
25mg per serving is a conservative, well-tolerated dose. It contributes to your daily Vitamin C intake without stacking unnecessarily.
How is Ortha different from electrolyte drinks like LMNT or Liquid IV?
How is Ortha different from electrolyte drinks like LMNT or Liquid IV?
LMNT and Liquid IV are formulated as flavored drinks. That means citric acid (a common MCAS trigger), sweeteners, natural or artificial flavors, and the need to mix and drink a full bottle of flavored water — often multiple times per day. When you're already nauseous or symptomatic, that's a real barrier.
Ortha is a capsule. No mixing. No taste. No flavoring agents. No citric acid. Two caps and a sip of water — whether you're at your desk, at work, in a parking lot, or barely out of bed.
LMNT also relies on stevia, which some MCAS patients react to. Liquid IV contains sugar and multiple B vitamins, which can accumulate dangerously if you're taking 3–5 servings per day (as many POTSies do). Ortha has none of those concerns.

Hear From Real People

Finally no flare from an electrolyte
"I have MCAS and POTS and I react to almost everything. Checked every ingredient in Ortha before I touched it. Nothing flagged. Six weeks in and not one reaction. I actually cried. I can't remember the last six flare-free weeks." — Kelsey M. ★★★★★
-
Switched from Vitassium. No more stomach pain.
"Salt pills always hurt my stomach. I thought that was just how it was. Tried Ortha on a recommendation and nothing — zero pain. Getting more sodium per capsule too so I take fewer of them. Should've switched months ago." — Jessica P. ★★★★★
-
Keep them in my scrub pocket
"I'm a nurse with POTS. Can't mix drinks mid-shift. Now I keep Ortha in my pocket. Two before my shift, two at lunch. Haven't had to sit on the med room floor in two months." — Amanda R., RN ★★★★★
More Sodium Per Capsule. Fewer Pills to Hit Your Protocol.
At 750mg per serving, Ortha delivers more sodium per cap than leading salt pills. Reach your cardiologist's daily target with fewer capsules — which matters when you're already taking a handful of medications. Your protocol. Actually achievable.
Built for MCAS. Not Just POTS.
No citric acid. No maltodextrin. No artificial preservatives. No dyes. No sweeteners. The 25mg of Vitamin C per serving isn't a marketing add-on — it's there because it supports histamine breakdown, and that matters for a significant portion of the POTS community. If you've tried electrolytes and reacted to most of them, Ortha was made for exactly that.
Pop Two Capsules. Keep Moving.
Mixing drinks when you're symptomatic isn't realistic. When you're mid-crash at work, in a parking lot, or barely out of bed — you don't have time to shake a bottle. Ortha goes in your pocket, your purse, your desk drawer, your glove compartment. Two caps and a sip of water. That's the whole protocol.

"Didn't cause a single flare"
I have MCAS and POTS and I react to literally everything. I've had reactions to powders, supplements, chews — you name it. I was terrified to try something new. I read through every ingredient in Ortha before I ordered. Three weeks in, not one flare. I cried when I realized that. I haven't had three consecutive flare-free weeks in over a year. Danielle R. ★★★★★
— Jennifer M. -
"Switched from Vitassium and not going back"
I was on another salt pill brand for about eight months. It worked okay but it hurt my stomach every single time. I just thought that was how salt pills were. Tried Ortha and zero stomach issues. Nothing. And I'm getting more sodium per cap so I need fewer of them to hit my doctor's 8,000mg goal. Should have switched sooner. Melissa K. ★★★★★
— Alicia R. -
"I keep a bottle at my nursing station"
I'm a nurse with POTS and I cannot stop and mix a drink when I'm crashing in the middle of a shift. I need something I can grab, pop, and keep moving. I keep Ortha in my scrub pocket now. Two before my shift, two at lunch, two at the end. My heart rate is so much more stable. My coworkers said they've noticed I'm not as pale anymore lol. Ashley M., RN ★★★★★
— Morgan T. -
"My autonomic specialist wrote it into my protocol"
I printed out the Ortha ingredient list and brought it to my specialist. She looked at it, said the list was clean, and approved it immediately. No B vitamins stacking, no citric acid, nothing that conflicts with my other meds. She actually said the Vitamin C addition was a smart formulation choice. Now it's in my written protocol. Jenna T. ★★★★★
— Stephanie K. -
"Survived my first real summer in three years"
Heat was my kryptonite. I was basically inside from June through September. This year I actually went to my nephew's baseball games because I loaded up on Ortha before and kept the bottle in my pocket. No mixing needed — just took them in the stands. I stood up for the whole last inning. That hasn't happened in years. Rachel D. ★★★★★
— Rachel B. -
"Got them for my daughter. She won't leave without them."
My daughter has both POTS and MCAS and she reacts to nearly every supplement we've tried. Her specialist told us to look for salt capsules with the shortest ingredient list possible. Ortha had three ingredients. She takes them before school and when she gets home. Her presyncope episodes are down significantly. She keeps a bottle in her backpack now. Mom of a POTSie ★★★★★

Faqs
Your Questions Answered
Can I take Ortha if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Ortha contains only sodium chloride, potassium chloride, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and a vegetarian capsule shell — no herbs, stimulants, or ingredients commonly flagged during pregnancy. That said, we always recommend consulting your OB or midwife before starting any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Defer to your provider's guidance on sodium intake during this time.
Will Ortha cause water retention or puffiness?
Sodium does support fluid retention — that's literally how it helps blood volume in POTS. The 250mg potassium per serving is specifically included to help your body regulate fluid balance and minimize unnecessary retention. Many people who've dealt with puffiness on high-sodium protocols find that a sodium-potassium balance (as opposed to sodium alone) makes a real difference. Individual results vary based on daily fluid intake and overall protocol.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Most people notice a difference within 30–60 minutes of their first serving, especially coming from a low-sodium state. The sodium and potassium in the capsules dissolve in your stomach and absorb similarly to a dissolved powder. Consistent daily use tends to produce the most noticeable improvement as blood volume stabilizes. If you're not feeling a difference, make sure you're drinking adequate water alongside your capsules — they need fluid to work properly.
Can I use Ortha if I have MCAS?
Ortha was formulated with the MCAS community specifically in mind. The ingredient list contains nothing commonly flagged as a mast cell trigger: no citric acid, no maltodextrin, no artificial preservatives, no dyes, no sweeteners. The 25mg of Vitamin C was included for its role in supporting histamine breakdown.
That said, MCAS reactions are highly individual. What's tolerated by most may not be tolerated by all. We recommend reviewing the full ingredient list with your provider before starting. When in doubt, introduce one supplement at a time and monitor your response.
Do I need to refrigerate Ortha?
No — Ortha capsules are shelf-stable. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. They're designed to go wherever you go: purse, desk drawer, gym bag, glove compartment. No special storage required.
What if Ortha doesn't work for me?
We offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee on your first order — even if the bottle has been opened. We know that trying new supplements when you have MCAS or POTS takes courage. If it's not the right fit, reach out to support@tryortha.com and we'll process a full refund. No returns, no complicated process.
