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, and it is the highest-sodium option SaltStick make.
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. At up to 660 mg of electrolytes per capsule this is the concentrated end of the range — roughly four times what a serving of FastChews carries.
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 size 0, 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.
Check the label for the sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium split.
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.
