Collection: SaltStick Caps | Electrolyte Supplement Capsules

SaltStick® Caps were developed as a study of scientific literature on electrolyte loss in sweat, highly bioavailable ingredients, and field testing. SaltStick® Caps has since become the accepted standard for electrolyte replacement capsules.

When it comes to quality,  SaltStick® sweats the details so you don’t have to. Their products are made in the USA at an FDA-inspected cGMP facility to contain only what you need, and nothing else. That means no herbal, trace, or questionable components. Ever.

When it comes to athletic performance, electrolytes can be the difference between finishing as a champ, or struggling with fatigue, cramping and nausea. These small but mighty elements—which include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride—play a pivotal role in muscle contraction, blood pressure, hydration and other crucial functions.

SaltStick helps athletes maintain performance by replacing a full spectrum of electrolytes lost through sweat, and in a form and quantity the body can absorb. An independent 2015 study demonstrated that triathletes who relied on SaltStick to replace electrolytes lost through sweat performed significantly better in a medium-distance triathlon than those who did not. See how SaltStick products compare.
