SaltStick Caps

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Just finished the St. Jude Marathon in great shape thanks to Saltstick Caps. Previous 3 marathons resulted in severe cramps in my calves, including one in which I required IV fluids. Without the probblem of cramping, I knocked over 30 minutes over previous 3 marathons.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I suffer a lot in the summer with cramps in my calves, lower back, arms, fingers, toes, neck...well you get the idea. Anytime the heat and humidity is rising and I'm outdoors for longer than 2 hours I take SaltStick tablets with me and generally take one every 45 minutes of activity. I love them. They don't irritate my stomach and it keeps the cramping away. Also, I have found that I no longer wake up with calf cramps in the middle of the night. I plan on continuing my marathon training during the summer using SaltStick.

Took 30 tabs during 100K Ultra.
More than recommended ( It was a hilly one in an hard weather ) but still no side effects and no muscles cramps that I had before using them

I just got back from a multi-day trek in the Andes where I was hiking up to nearly 5000 meters for over 9 hours a day with a limited diet. Well, SaltStick Caps helped me keep my electrolytes balanced in spite of the difficulties and are a weight-and-space-efficient alternative to drink mixes for long backpacking trips. They also make a great addition to my first aid kit to help replenish salts after digestive issues. I now use SaltStick Caps on all my long runs and no longer have any cramping issues as I did previously.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Take 2 capsules an hour before marathon and 2 capsules every hour during the marathon.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I used to experience cramping during or after some of my longer runs; that problem is gone since I started taking this product. Just be sure to drink water with it, as I experienced an upset stomach when I didn't.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I had big problems with hydration due to large amount of weight lost during long runs. I used the SaltStick caps today and I cannot describe how much better I felt, how much more hydrated I was, and how much my performance improved. I took one right before and one at the 1 hour mark. I didn't take another at 2 hours since I was almost finished.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I bought these to combat muscle cramps in my legs in the last few miles of marathon training long runs. I take one every 45 minutes with water. They are easy to swallow, taste like nothing, do not upset my stomach and, best of all, they work!

I have completed runs of 16, 17, 19 and 20 miles in hot summer weather since I started using them, and those muscle cramps are a thing of the past. I will definitely use them in my upcoming marathon and future distance runs.

I also no longer need multiple expensive gels or chews on my long runs. Since I get so much from the salt caps, I usually just eat a pack of Sport Beans at some point, just for some calories.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

First I discovered the benefits of using an electrolyte drink instead of water to improving my running. Then I discovered the benefits of consuming energy gels every 45-60 minutes. Now my next big discovery is the use of salt capsules to help prevent the inevitable cramps that occure at about 12+ miles on warm days.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I used SaltStick during a 1/2 marathon last weekend. Only took 2 about 30 minutes apart. No noticible effects, but didn't cramp either. Easy and convenient for race day.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Used for the first time at the Calico Ultra 50K, I didn't experience any cramping and the pills didn't upset my stomach. With a 4K elevation change during the race the Saltstick caps probably saved me.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

What a difference these make when you get to the last 1/2 of the run in an Ironman event.

My wife has hyponatremia and these have made a huge difference for her.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I sweat 2.5 lbs / hr and require electrolyte replacement because we don't eat much processed food in our home. I take 1 capsule every 30 to 40 minutes when working out and can maintain for 5+ hours at a time given enough water. I use these any time I work out more than an hour. Wouldn't be without them on long runs or rides.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Effective prevention of cramping during and after long endurance exercise (running). Take one tablet every 20 minutes of exercise, one to two tablets at completion. No more intrarace leg cramps; no more bed-time leg cramps.
I used Succeed salt tablets; switched to Salt Stick because it contains significantly more potassium as well as sodium (Succed is almost all sodium). Slight stomach discomfort without the added buffers, but I became acclimated to it after a few long runs.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I use this during the especially hot humid days and it seems to keep me moving with less dips

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Has helped sustain my energy through long workouts and helped reduced muscle cramping.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

As a small farmer in Southern FL, this product has helped alleviate frequent muscle cramps at night for someone who doesn't use or remember to add salt to their diet.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

I use these after a workout or whenever I feel I need more electrolytes and they are great. They really help replenish and help me to feel better.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Tablets are portable, easy to swallow and more effective than other electrolyte replacements I've tried. I take them with me and swallow one about every 45 minutes during my run and one when I'm finished. They prevent stomach and muscle cramps.

Comments about SaltStick Caps Nutrition:

Took it for long runs, medium runs when hot, or medium when no Gatorade available. Just a smidge smaller than a multivitamin tablet, but easy to swallow with gelcap. Worked well for me. Much more palatable than old salt tablets for me.
