Works great and fast

Let me start by saying that I didn’t really expect these tablets to work. I bought them for two reasons. 1) My hubby has MS and he gets horrible leg cramps. He’s tried every thing from potassium tablets, pickle juice, mustard, and he takes magnesium daily. Muscle relaxers cause terrible drowsiness. So I thought for the price offered, why not? I assumed this product worked mostly for cramps related to dehydration which is not the case for him. So when it did work, I was thrilled and shocked! He has only used it twice but both times it has worked! 2) If it didn’t work for him, then I planned on trying it on my runs as a fueling method. It’s hot and humid in the south during the summer, and I am unfortunately a gal who looks like I just got out of a shower when I’m finished with a run. I tried it before hubby did when I started feeling blah on a long run. My calf was starting to go into a cramp and I thought I’d test them out. It relieved my cramp and I felt like my energy was better, not so foggy-headed. I tried it again when my calf felt like it wanted to cramp on a trail run. It relieved the cramp and again, I felt better. So now I am a true believer in these things and will not be caught without them in our household. Taste: I was leery to try a chewable but thought it would work faster. The lemon-lime is not tart, and not overly salty as I expected. It’s more of a sprite or similar flavor of lemon-lime. As for the orange, I can’t comment as I haven’t tried it but hubby likes it. I expect it to be the same, not overly tart or overpoweringly salty. So as you can see, I recommend them. I like the little packets for running and for hubby to carry easily. But in the future we will probably just buy the bottle and use little snack size bags to carry them.

He was good to go within minutes

These little beauties are a life saver! Hiked up one of our local peaks this past week, one of the guys in our group started cramping so I had him pop one of these. He was good to go within minutes. I started to cramp up a bit so I popped one. Cramps went away. A random hiker overheard that I had these, he offered to buy a couple off me, I just gave him a few for free. Saw him at the summit and he was completely stoked and grateful, told me that I saved his hike.

These help stabilize my blood pressure when it falls!

I used these while hiking and had no heat related issues at all. Ordered some for home use and have been very pleased. When my blood pressure drops I can chew a couple of these and drink a couple 20 oz bottles of water and blood pressure stabilizes.

Great Product! No Cramping.

While I've never had problems with cramping during endurance activities (Spartan Races, BattleFrogs, GORUCKs), I attribute that to always having SaltStick on hand. In the past I've have used the capsules, but have recently tried these chewables. I have found that the chewables are MUCH easier to manipulate and consume during events and I have yet to cramp up. These are REALLY tart!

Drink lots of water, helps with cramping on long runs

While running marathons I tend to cramp in my quads around mile 20. Some other running friends have used SaltStick brand and I saw these ones and decided to give them a try. During my training I started taking them, cramped once and these alleviated it. While running the Marine Corps Marathon in 2018, just before mile 20, my right quad started cramping, took a couple of these, some water, 20 min later, 2 more, some water, and the cramp completely went away for the rest of the race. Definitely recommend for distance running or any vigorous athlete activity where you need to replace sodium to avoid cramping.

Saved a race!

Came in handy for unusually hot spring marathon. Even passed half a sleeve to a fellow runner who was struggling with dehydration in the 85 degree heat. I saw him at the finish line later so I can only assume it was the salstick that helped him pull through because he was about to drop when I passed him.

These are literal lifesavers! I use them on all my long runs over 20 miles and they are fantastic! I keep them in a pocket close to my hydration valve on my trail running pack and pop them every 30-45 min. I haven't cramped up since! Just make sure you have enough water to wash them down, but I find the flavor not too drastic or upsetting! which is surprising, considering you're basically eating salt :)

Amazing in the heat

Bought these to use on long runs, and ended up using them for the first time at an outdoor concert. Blistering summer heat + Front Row seats = I was sipping water and not taking a bathroom break any time soon. I popped a couple of these throughout the night, sipped on water, and felt better almost immediately. Taste is great. Will update after using for intended reasons :)

Absolutely perfect!

These are great. Keep my calves from cramping up better than anything else. I carry them in one of those 10 count Advil bottles you can get in the checkout lane at Dollar General. Holds an entire roll minus one tablet perfectly, and keeps them dry.

This is a lifesaver during long runs and marathons to prevent cramping. I tend to sweat more than most while running so I need to really watch my salt and electrolyte in take. Having a roll of these with me really helps get me that extra boost to keep going and not spend the last 6 miles of a marathon cramping and walking.
