SaltStick FastChews

SaltStick FastChews are chewable electrolyte tablets that replace what you actually sweat out — sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium — in close to the ratio your body loses them. No mixing, no bottle, no water required: you just chew.

Because they absorb through the tissue in your mouth, FastChews start working fast — SaltStick had them clinically tested and they began delivering electrolytes in about 45 seconds. The sodium comes from sodium citrate instead of table salt, so they're easier on the stomach mid-effort. Come pick a flavor at Tortoise & Hare Sports in Glendale.

Why runners reach for it

• Two tablets deliver 100 mg sodium, 30 mg potassium, 10 mg calcium, and 6 mg magnesium
• Chewable and pocketable — nothing to mix, drink water only when you want fluid
• Sodium citrate is gentler on the gut than table salt
• Non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, with no artificial colors or sweeteners

How do you use SaltStick FastChews?

Chew about 2 tablets for every 30 minutes of exercise, adjusting for heat and how much you sweat, and drink water as you need fluid. Let them dissolve for a few seconds before swallowing for the fastest absorption.
