What is Salvital Effervescent Powder 375g?

Salvital is a traditional Australian saline effervescent powder mixed with water to create a refreshing lemon-flavoured drink. The mineral-salt formula has been a staple in Australian households for decades, helping with mild indigestion, heartburn, hangovers, and after-exercise rehydration.

Common uses

Indigestion and heartburn — the saline base neutralises stomach acid to ease the burn.
Mild dehydration — mineral salts help replace fluid lost through sweating or hot weather.
After exercise — a quick saline pick-me-up after sport or physical work.
The day after — mineral salts ease the symptoms of mild dehydration.

Active ingredients

Mineral salts (sodium bicarbonate 500, magnesium carbonate 518)
Sugar
Food acids (296, 334)
Lemon flavour

How to use Salvital

Add one teaspoon (approximately 5g) of Salvital powder to a glass of cold water and stir until it fully dissolves and stops effervescing. Drink immediately while still effervescent for best taste and effectiveness. Take up to 3 doses per day. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose.

For indigestion or heartburn, take after meals. For rehydration, drink during or after physical activity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Salvital used for?

Salvital Effervescent Powder is used for relief of mild indigestion and heartburn, after-exercise rehydration, and as a refreshing mineral-salt drink. The sodium bicarbonate-based formula neutralises stomach acid and replaces minerals lost through sweating.

Can I take Salvital every day?

Salvital is intended for occasional use to relieve mild symptoms or support rehydration. Daily use is not recommended without medical advice, especially for people on low-sodium diets, those with high blood pressure, or anyone with kidney conditions.

What are the ingredients in Salvital?

Salvital contains mineral salts (sodium bicarbonate 500 and magnesium carbonate 518), sugar, food acids (296, 334), and lemon flavour. The mineral salts provide the antacid action; sugar and lemon improve taste; food acids drive the effervescence.

Is Salvital safe for children?

Salvital is not recommended for children under 12 without medical advice due to the sodium content. For children with dehydration, oral rehydration products specifically formulated for paediatric use are a safer choice.

Is Salvital a laxative?

No. Salvital is an effervescent saline antacid for mild indigestion, heartburn and after-exercise rehydration, not a laxative. Its saline content may have a mild effect for some people, but it is not intended or formulated as a laxative.

Is Salvital an electrolyte drink?

Salvital contains mineral salts, including sodium, that help replace some of what is lost through sweat. It is not a complete oral rehydration formula, so for significant dehydration a dedicated electrolyte product such as Hydralyte or Ural may be more suitable.

Is Salvital good or bad for you?

Used occasionally and as directed, Salvital is generally well tolerated by adults. Because it is high in sodium, it is not suitable for people on a low-sodium or sodium-restricted diet, and it should not be taken frequently over long periods without medical advice.

What is the difference between Salvital and Eno?

Both are effervescent antacids that relieve mild indigestion and heartburn. Salvital is a traditional Australian saline formula also used as an after-exercise mineral-salt drink, while Eno is a fast-acting antacid focused on indigestion and heartburn relief.

Is Salvital good for bloating?

By neutralising excess stomach acid, Salvital may ease the discomfort of mild indigestion and trapped wind. Persistent or severe bloating should be discussed with a pharmacist or doctor.
