SaltStick Electrolytes with Caffeine - Salt Pills and Electrolytes for Running, Hydration, Leg Cramps Relief, Sports Recovery, Hiking Essentials - Salt, Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamin D3 - 100 Count

I am a distance runner and have been working on my long run hydration/fueling during the run, thus the need for sodium intake during long runs. I like to carry water in my hydration pack (rather than electrolytes which I do just before & after runs) but during the run, these portable salt tablets come in clutch! They can help ease cramping during the run, have no taste, and all you have to do is swallow. So easy, and they've been working out well for the last several months of long runs in the NC humidity. I run about 30-40mi/week and there are 100 in a pack which is a great value. One word of advice: I would recommend carrying them in a small container or ziplock rather than packing them loosely in the pocket of your shorts/leggings/pack. I learned the hard way after my last half marathon that the capsules can come apart if they aren't being transported appropriately and also they were in a pocket that I had some energy chews in so the fell out every time I reached in the pocket (oops - my fault) but luckily there were aid stations on the course for electrolytes!

If you have ever had a 'charlie horse' or otherwise know as a muscle cramp these are wonderful. Fast acting. But even better they are good as a preventative measure. They sure have helped me with 'hot summer' wild blueberry picking. * They also have a chewable version - love the peach flavor - so convenient !

SaltStick Electrolyte Capsules with Vitamin D are an absolute game changer for distance running, especially during the hot summer months. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my endurance, hydration, and recovery since adding these to my routine. No more mid-run cramping or feeling depleted after long miles. They’re easy to take, gentle on the stomach, and keep me balanced even on the toughest training days. Highly recommend for any runner, cyclist, or endurance athlete looking to level up their performance and stay strong through the heat!

I've lived with POTS for 15 years now. At first, I took clunky sodium tablets that burned my stomach lining and were impossible to swallow. Buffered electrolyte tabs are infinitely better and more effective as they balance electrolytes. I've used Salt Stick exclusively for many years. No stomach ache, and the magnesium and vitamin D help balance things out.

My go to salt supplement. No taste and easy to use. Quick acting and high quality.

After being on Terbutaline for a pregnancy (to help prevent preterm labor,) I noticed that I was getting major muscle pulls and cramps after doing hard workouts (postpartum.) I knew the Terbutaline drained potassium so bought these and noticed an IMMEDIATE difference; I was no longer getting injured. I already took magnesium as a norm but I was apparently low in potassium as well. They are a bit pricey but I adore them... just pop a couple in your mouth in the midst of your workout; plus I take some at night before bed. They work GREAT! That being said, I took off a star because now that I am pregnant again they are causing SWELLING. It's so weird; it must be the type of sodium they have in them mixed with pregnancy sensitivity. I was noticing my swelling was much worse earlier than normal and was flabbergasted. Then one day I ran out of Salt sticks and ordered some more... but they took a week to get here. That week I noticed my swelling was SO much better and my carpal tunnel was gone (from the swelling.) Lo and behold when I started taking two a day again, the swelling kicked in again. Now I am switching over to just plain potassium and magnesium supplements for my pregnancy; but will still use the salt sticks heavily after baby is born! I do notice when I don't take them I am getting round ligament pain; so if you are having that during your pregnancy I HIGHLY recommend a magnesium and potassium supplement (avoid the Solaray which has parsley in it though!)

I started using SaltStick Electrolyte Caps Plus before pickleball tournaments and long workouts, and they’ve been a game-changer. They’re easy to swallow, get electrolytes into my system quickly, and have helped me stay cramp-free during extended exercise. I take these before playing, then use SaltStick Electrolyte FastChews between games when I need a quick boost. The two products complement each other really well — the capsules help me start off prepared, and the chews keep me going when matches (or workouts) run long. Since adding these to my routine, I haven’t had issues with cramping, even on long tournament days. For anyone who’s active and needs reliable electrolyte support, these are an easy and effective solution.

Great product. I felt relief after the first use.
