Saltstick - An easy and tasty way to replenish electrolytes

Salt sticks - An easy and tasty way to replenish electrolytes that help to reduce muscle cramp and stress.

Whether you are competing or training long distances, the body is going to sweat and with the sweat comes the loss of electrolytes. If we are unable to replenish these electrolytes then you’re going to start to see a decline in your performance levels. Electrolytes are going to play a huge factor in your success. Lack of electrolytes is most likely to lead to - Nausea, cramping and struggles with fatigue levels.

Elements such as calcium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and sodium play a huge role in the functions of the body. I.e. Blood pressure, hydration and muscle contractions.

What do Saltstick do and why are they the best?

Founded in 2002 by elite triathlete and ultra runner Jonathon Tucker - Saltstick was created in response to meet the electrolyte needs of Jonathon during his training and competitions. 21 years later and Saltstick is now now sold in over 15 countries and have become a steadfast component of many triathlete's racing kit worldwide.

Saltstick offers some incredibly effective products that replace all electrolyte elements from sweat loss. The most popular of their products are the Saltstick fast chews. These handy, chewable electrolyte tablets are an industry first from Saltstick. Each portion contains a special formulation of fast-absorbing sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium that helps to reduce muscle cramping and heat stress as well as boosting your stamina. In comparison, many sports drinks do not include as many electrolytes as Saltstick products.

We would 100% recommend Salt Sticks due to our founders' experiences with using the products. MyTriathlon founder - Steve, who completed an Ironman back in 2005, regularly uses Saltstick and couldn’t recommend them enough. He says that ‘Salt Sticks are definitely needed for long distances and that he couldn’t go without’.
