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

Weve been using this Electrolyte Tablets for my daughter during her tennis practices. Two weeks with amazing results. Very efficient and practical tablets.

I usually dont take the time to do a deep review but this time I really feel that I need to share my experience. Ive been running for over 5 years now but started getting serious with my weekly mileage about a year ago (was doing only 16 miles/week and now Im at around 30 miles/week). I live in South Florida and it gets very hot most of the year which makes the long runs very challenging. I spent the last few months training for the Miami Half Marathon and feeling good and ready for the race and on the race day the weather got hot and I was sweating so profusely that didnt realize that my GUs and water were not doing enough to recover my lost sodium and eventually at around mile 10 I had to start taking walking breaks until the point that I start having all the symptoms of hyponatremia (low sodium- confusion, fatigue and headache). I had a goal of finishing the half-marathon under 2 hours and ended up finishing with 2 hours 13 minutes. After this I was super frustrated and started reading more about what happened until I talked to a few pro runners that mentioned salt pills. I came across these pills and decided to sign up for another half marathon last Sunday with my wife ( 305 Half Marathon). I took 2 pills 30 minutes before the race, then 2 pills at mile 4 and then 2 pills every 3 miles. I also took my GUs after mile 4 between the salt pills and felt amazing during the whole race (temp was about the same as the first race). I dont think you can ever attribute your success at any sport event to only one factor but I know that this was a huge contributor to how I felt during my race. I ended up finishing with a time of 1:59:24 and this time I was only aiming at a 2:05 goal. From now on I am using these pills on any run under hot weather over 8 miles which are all my Saturday runs. Please consider that not every person looses sodium at the same rate through perspiration and this will make a difference for people with high perspiration rate as myself. My wife runs with me everyday and at the end of a 10 miles run at over 80F she still almost totally dry, reason why she does not need this pills. Before trying this, I tried GUs, sport drinks, other gels, etc and could not find something that would really help me battle the fatigue on hot days, so this was a thing of trial and error until I found something that works. Hope my story helps other people with similar issues. Happy running!

This product is great for those humid runs where you have drank all the liquids, but cannot stomach more, but need electrolytes. This happens to me on the trails most often. SaltStick Fast Chews are just that! They are easy to carry and are easy to chew on the run. Sometimes I need some water to wash down the salty feels in my mouth, but no complaints otherwise! Peach is a delightful flavor as it is sweet and salty. I 100% recommend this to anyone who needs to stay hydrated, athlete or not.

The texture of fastchews is about the same as sweet tarts/smarties. The flavors are great- not too salty like other hydration items I have tried. Peach is my favorite flavor, but if you prefer something more subtle/sweeter— try watermelon! These fast chews got me through my first summer running (and then fall/winter, too). I’m an excessive sweater no matter what I’m doing, but these save the day! They are like a little candy pick-me-up. Pop two in, chew, drink some water and keep on going for as long as you need!

I LOVE the Fast Chews. These chews have saved me during most of my runs and do not upset my stomach. The only bad thing is I haven’t found a flavor I don’t like, so I usually just buy them all!

Perfect for dysautonomia! My doctor suggested salt loading before a bath/shower to eliminate symptoms. Im not fond of the salty drinks and this product is the perfect alternative. Each tab is only 50mg of salt, so I do use several servings at a time which can get expensive. Still, the lower salt content of each tab keeps the taste from being too overwhelming. They are super convenient. I keep a bottle in my purse for outings.

My daughter has POTS and uses these daily for hydration. She loves them.

My fiancé & I both work outside a lot and in the heat of the summer we need our electrolytes! I got these for when we wake up with a cramp in the middle of the night. They taste great, & are easy to chew. I love that I can keep them by the bed so I don’t have to go to the kitchen to mix up something and chug it down. I know I’ll end up using them other times too!

I love the watermelon fast chews. They taste great and help with electrolyte replacement. I carry them on all my long runs so I dont cramp. The little packs fit nicely in your pocket or running belt and dont take up too much space. Definitely make this a product you dont leave home without.

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!
