Description

SaltStick Race Ready Caps Plus are electrolyte capsules with caffeine — 314 mg of electrolytes and 30 mg of caffeine per capsule, taken with water every 30 to 60 minutes. They use sodium citrate rather than plain salt, and carry no sugar.

What it is and when to use it

The caffeinated capsule in the SaltStick range, for race day and the back half of long efforts. 30 mg of caffeine per capsule is a deliberately small dose — about a third of a coffee — so it stacks gradually across an event rather than hitting all at once.

Not the one to take every hour of a very long day. Plain SaltStick Caps carry more electrolytes per capsule and no stimulant, and most people alternate.

Taste and texture

Flavourless, swallowed with water. The capsule is vegetable-based. Like the plain Caps, the appeal is that it stays neutral when sweet drinks and chews have stopped being welcome.

Caffeine, sodium and what varies

30 mg of caffeine and up to 314 mg of electrolytes per capsule, with no sugar. Note the electrolyte load is lower than plain Caps at 660 mg — these are the caffeine option, not the high-sodium one.

Made with sodium citrate rather than sodium chloride, which is gentler on the stomach for some people. Gluten free, no soy or nuts, no sweeteners and no high fructose corn syrup. SaltStick state independent testing for banned substances.

How to take it

One capsule with water every 30 to 60 minutes during activity. Work out your caffeine total across the whole event rather than per dose, and practise it in training — race day is the wrong time to discover how you react.

FAQ's

What are SaltStick Race Ready Caps Plus?
Race Ready Caps Plus are SaltStick's caffeinated electrolyte capsules, carrying 30 mg of caffeine and up to 314 mg of electrolytes each. One capsule with water every 30 to 60 minutes is the usual dose, and the formula uses sodium citrate with no sugar.

What is the difference between Race Ready Caps Plus and plain SaltStick Caps?
Caffeine and concentration. Race Ready Caps Plus carry 30 mg of caffeine and up to 314 mg of electrolytes. Plain Caps carry no caffeine and up to 660 mg of electrolytes. Choose Plus for race day, plain Caps if you sweat heavily or want no stimulant.

Why sodium citrate rather than salt?
Sodium citrate is a buffered form of sodium, which many people find easier on the stomach than sodium chloride during hard efforts. It delivers the sodium without the sharpness, which matters when you are taking a dose every half hour for several hours.

Are Race Ready Caps Plus free of banned substances?
SaltStick state that the product is made in the USA, free of banned substances and independently tested. If you compete under testing, verify the certification for the batch you are buying rather than relying on a product page — certifications are batch-specific.

Are they suitable if you avoid gluten, soy or nuts?
SaltStick state the formula is gluten free with no soy or nuts, no sweeteners and no high fructose corn syrup, in a vegetable-based capsule. Check the current label if you have a serious allergy, since formulations and manufacturing lines change.
