SaltStick FastChews, Chewable Electrolyte Tablets for Fast Hydration & Muscle Cramp Relief, Non-GMO, Vegan, and Gluten Free, Bottle of 60 FastChews Tablets, Orange

these lil chews have gotten me through extensive training blocks, long runs, and marathons over the last year. easy to go down and something that actually tastes good. ill pop a couple of these in my mouth every 30-40 min during a long run and theyve helped prevent cramping and dehydration.

Love this product! Chew 2 tablets and within 2-3 minutes your cramping WILL subside.

I had the chance to try Fast Chews a few years ago and I’ve never wanted to try anything else. In my latest half marathon trail race, pacing my Fast Chews and taking them at specific intervals really helped me from bonking in the last 2 miles which is what happened when I pre-ran the trail a few weeks prior. Fast Chews are highly recommended.

Normally I am firmly in the camp of Pedialyte packs, but a friend turned me on to these and I have been amazed at how dense and light these are to provide hydration when I’m in the backcountry. Flavor is excellent — not too sugary or sweet, definitely not too artificial or synthetic, it’s really “just right”. Sure beats lugging around an entire Gatorade up 2000 ft of elevation gain when you can pop this in chewable form to keep you moving.

Im very glad I got the peach flavor! Theyre not salty in the slightest, and on their own there a little strong but not inedible. I recommend dissolving one in lemonade or iced tea! Its really good!

I am in LOVE with the fastchews. This particular flavor is my favorite as it isnt overwhelming and honestly was quite pleasant to use on really hot days. I am an avid hiker and used this product while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and the Foothills trail. I needed consistent help when it came to regulating my electrolytes. I was having regular bouts of feeling lightheaded, sluggish, and a few times nearly ready to faint from temperature swings causing me to sweat too much too quickly. When you are on a thru-hike this can happen quickly and you need to take immediate action. I keep a small amount of the fastchews in my hip pocket of my pack where I can access them easily when needed without even taking my pack off. I needed to get in a better habit of consistently nurturing my body rather than running it ragged until I was in a troubled state. The fastchews are a bit more pleasant for me to use than the pill version while continuing to move, and they are just so easy and desirable because of the flavors.

I purchased this product for my first marathon. I am extremely happy with this product. Easy to use and the mild watermelon flavor was perfect. I had never used a salt tab or an electrolyte tab previous to purchasing this item. Instead of filling my water hydration vest with electrolytes, I filled it with water and carried these tabs. I popped the first two tabs after an hour of running. Subsequently, I took one tablet ever 30- 45 minutes thought the entire race. I carried a total of 20 tabs with me but didn’t use all of them. I did not have any issues with cramp. On my 15mile plus training runs, I would get very nausea afterwards but I didn’t feel that way after my marathon. I attribute this to the electrolyte tabs. They did take a while to dissolve which is why I gave them a 4 because after a while, they irritated the underside of my tongue and cheek. Other than that, I highly recommend these tablets!

While I don’t have any preexisting medical conditions, I am a healthcare professional. Having to wear a Tyvek suit (or similar) while rounding on patients will dehydrate you QUICKLY—even while wearing an ice vest underneath! I can’t believe how much these have saved my bacon. Taking these with water rehydrates me quickly and keeps me well hydrated without hyping me up on too much sugar. Not to mention how economical they are compared to buying sport drinks or electrolyte-enhanced water. I bring these with a Brita water bottle and I’m set! 2 helpful tips, though: 1) This is not candy. These are powerful supplements. If you take more than what you need or if they are not needed, you will more than likely feel like kitty litter for awhile. Also, this supplement is not for everyone. If you don’t feel right taking these or are not sure, by all means ask your primary healthcare provider. Or if you’re taking medications and you’re unsure of any potential reactions with said medications, ask a pharmacist. 2) If you don’t like the texture when you chew these, hold it in your mouth while drinking water. Then chew with water or just let it dissolve as you drink. I find it a lot more pleasant to do so sometimes. I’ll never be clocking in without these tablets again. They’re a life-saver!

I’ve tried other salt products in the past but these are seriously so good! They remind me of a pina colada and nothing like salt. Will definitely be buying again.

I first found out about SaltStick fast chews on Instagram, they sounded interesting…but it wasn’t until I had a super bad long run, I didn’t plan my hydration and when I hit mile 13 I started cramping so hard. It was an awful last 2 miles left to my car. I got home and immediately bought these. I have used them religiously since and never had the cramping again! It helps they also taste delicious! Can’t wait to try so many more of their products!
