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

Easy to chew, good flavor

I moved to a hot and humid region about three years ago. The heat has been so hard on me that I have had to cut my running from about 40 miles a week down to 20 miles a week because my body ached so much during my runs. Not just my legs at the end of a long run, but my entire body just aches and aches during short runs. I knew that the issue was hydration, but water alone wasnt cutting it, even Smartwater. I ended up suffering from kidney stones, which my doctor attributed to general dehydration. A coworker suggested I look into some sort of electrolyte replenishing product to take during my runs. I did some research and was able to pick up a couple of sticks of Saltstick caps at a running event. I tried them on a long run on a not terribly warm, yet still humid day (68 degrees, about 80% humidity). I took two chews with about a cup of water 30 minutes before I ran a 1:45 run, and I ate one chew with a drink of water every 15 minutes during my run. The results were UNBELIEVABLE! I had NO ACHES or SORENESS at all during the run. I felt the natural fatigue in my legs at the end of my run, but I did not have any of the upper body soreness or overall aches Id typically experienced when running under those conditions. I tested the chews again under warmer conditions (90 minute run, 74 degrees, 90% humidity), which were perfect conditions for the general soreness I began experiencing when I moved here. For this run, I took two chews with about a cup of water 30 minutes before I ran, and I ate TWO chews with a drink of water every 15 minutes during my run. Again, I had the natural fatigue at the end of my run, but I had NO general aches or soreness! I feel like these chews have changed my life and I am so relieved that I can start working my way back up to my former running volume! The one minor caveat I have about the chews is that I have noticed that the following day I need to go to the bathroom far more often than usual, but that is worth it for the relief these chews have brought me.

This didnt do as much for me as Id hoped but the taste was pretty good. Great ingredients and an amazing company! Just not for me. I still recommend it.

Exactly what I need after a 100 mile bike ride.. Didn’t have any leg cramps

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.

Great product - lemon lime by far the best taste, watermelon terrible

I love this company’s products. This one tastes delicious, but it does not work as well as the Vitassium fast chew electrolyte tablets in grape or tropical punch. Still a great buy, but if you are doing a hard core work out or tend to get salt depleted, go for the grape or tropical punch chews from the same company.

Flavor isnt great, but works instantly. Its just hard to transport cuz it crumbles to dust.

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!

They aren’t the best tasting thing ever, but they make a significant impact on your body. Sustained hydration.
