HelloPharmacist Scorecard of New Beginnings Ormus by Ormus Minerals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
New Beginnings Ormus contains 2 active ingredients: Charged Dead Sea Salt Water Crystals and Ormus Minerals from Ormus Rich Global Salts. The ormus minerals ingredient is linked to sodium content, which is the basis for its interactions and effects in the body.
The product has no inactive fillers or binders listed.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The sodium in this product is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for preventing kidney damage from the antibiotic amphotericin B. For bipolar disorder and congestive heart failure, the evidence we hold is not strong enough to rate it.
We couldn't find effectiveness data for Charged Dead Sea Salt Water Crystals.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sodium is well tolerated when taken by mouth in moderate amounts at the recommended daily level. However, too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease — especially with long-term use.
Normal dietary sodium is fine, but this product is a supplement on top of what you eat, so extra caution is warranted. Serious side effects are rare but can include worsened heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney problems.
Population research also ties high sodium intake to increased gastric cancer risk.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), corticosteroids (steroids), lithium, didanosine, sodium phosphate laxatives, tolvaptan, or any other sodium-containing drugs before you start. All these interactions are moderate in severity.
High sodium intake can reduce medication effectiveness, increase blood sodium dangerously, or trigger lithium toxicity.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a sodium supplement, so it's not for everyday use without a specific reason and medical oversight. If you take blood pressure medications, lithium, or other drugs that interact with sodium, you'll want to talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — high sodium intake can interfere with how these work or raise your blood sodium to unsafe levels.
Even without medications, avoid sodium supplements unless your doctor recommends it.

Ormus Minerals from Ormus Rich Global Salts monograph & interactionsNew Beginnings Ormus by Ormus Minerals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
New Beginnings Ormus by Ormus Minerals contains sodium, which interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure drugs (antihypertensives) — high sodium intake can reduce their effectiveness, forcing you to need higher doses to control your blood pressure.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium also interacts moderately with corticosteroids (steroids), lithium (a mood stabilizer), didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate (a bowel-prep laxative), tolvaptan (a diuretic), and other sodium-containing drugs. With corticosteroids, extra sodium raises your risk of high blood sodium (hypernatremia).
With lithium, the effect cuts both ways — high sodium lowers lithium levels in your blood, but low sodium raises them dangerously high, risking toxicity. The other drugs carry a similar risk of high blood sodium if you add more sodium on top.
We could not check Charged Dead Sea Salt Water Crystals — we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 205 individual medications.
If you take any of these medications, search your exact drugs in the checker on this page before starting this product.

For each ingredient in New Beginnings Ormus with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Ormus Minerals from Ormus Rich Global Salts
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
