Description

SaltStick Caps are electrolyte capsules carrying up to 660 mg of electrolytes each, with no sugar and no flavour. One capsule with water every 30 to 60 minutes is the usual dose. The formula is built to match the ratio of electrolytes lost in sweat.

What it is and when to use it

A flavourless capsule you swallow with water, for people who sweat heavily or who simply do not want another sweet thing during a long effort. Each capsule carries up to 660 mg of electrolytes in total, and 215 mg of that is sodium.

The formula is built to match the ratio of electrolytes in sweat rather than to taste good, which is the argument for capsules over anything chewable.

Taste and texture

There is none, and that is the selling point. After several hours, sweet drinks and chews stop being appealing for most people, while a capsule stays neutral. They are small enough to swallow easily, and SaltStick position them as sitting well on the stomach.

Caffeine, sodium and what varies

Up to 660 mg of electrolytes per capsule and 0 g of carbohydrate. These replace salt only — they are not fuel, and on a long effort you still need carbohydrate from somewhere.

Plain Caps carry no caffeine. Race Ready Caps Plus is the version with 30 mg. SaltStick have Caps tested for banned substances through Informed Choice/Sport, which matters if you are tested in competition.

Per capsule: 215 mg of sodium, 63 mg of potassium, 22 mg of calcium and 11 mg of magnesium, with 349 mg of chloride and 2.5 mcg (100 IU) of vitamin D. A serving is one capsule, with no sugar and no carbohydrate.

How to take it

One capsule with water every 30 to 60 minutes during activity — with water, not dry, since a concentrated salt dose without fluid is what upsets stomachs.
