Description
SaltStick Energy Gummies carry 36 g of carbohydrate and around 170 mg of electrolytes in a packet, so they fuel and replace salt at the same time. They are chewed rather than squeezed, contain no caffeine, and include 100% of the daily Vitamin C.
What it is and when to use it
Carbohydrate and electrolytes in one chewable packet, for efforts long enough that you need fuelling rather than just hydrating. Most gels give you carbs and little salt; most electrolyte products give you salt and no carbs. These do both.
SaltStick say this was the most requested product from their own customers, ahead of gels, immunity and recovery products — which tells you what people wanted that gels were not giving them.
Taste and texture
Chewy rather than sticky, and specifically made not to cling to your teeth, which is the usual complaint about energy chews taken at pace. No artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.
Made in single-flavour, medley and sour packs. The sour packs exist for a reason: after two hours of sweet fuel, sour is often the only thing that still goes down.
Caffeine, sodium and what varies
36 g of carbohydrate per packet, around 170 mg of electrolytes, and 100% of the daily Vitamin C. No caffeine in any flavour, which makes these the ones to use late in a long day when you do not want another stimulant.
36 g is a genuine hour of fuel for most people, so treat a packet as a feed rather than a snack. Check the packet for the sodium and potassium split.
How to take it
SaltStick's product guide says four gummies every 30 minutes during activity; the packet copy on this store says one packet every 30 to 60 minutes. Those describe similar intakes at different intensities — take more often when it is hot or hard, less when it is not. Drink water alongside.
