SaltStick Caps Electrolyte Capsules
SaltStick Caps are high-sodium, zero-sugar electrolyte capsules engineered to conveniently replace key minerals lost through sweat.
Each capsule provides a measured blend of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, making it easy to manage electrolyte intake during training, racing, endurance events, outdoor work and exercise in hot conditions.
Unlike flavoured electrolyte drinks or powders, SaltStick Caps contain no sugar and require no mixing. Simply swallow a capsule with water as required during activity.
Electrolytes Lost Through Sweat
Sweating causes the body to lose both fluid and electrolytes, particularly sodium. SaltStick Caps provide four important electrolytes commonly lost during physical activity:
- Sodium – the primary electrolyte lost through sweat
- Potassium – supports normal muscle and nerve function
- Calcium – supports normal muscle function
- Magnesium – supports normal muscle and electrolyte function
Combined with appropriate fluid intake, SaltStick Caps provide a practical way to support an electrolyte replacement strategy during prolonged or high-sweat activity.
Ideal For

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take SaltStick Electrolyte Capsules?
Swallow one SaltStick Capsule with water every 30–60 minutes during physical activity. Requirements can vary depending on your sweat rate, exercise intensity, duration and environmental conditions.
SaltStick Caps may also be used before activity or as part of your post-workout hydration and nutrition plan.
Can I combine SaltStick Caps with SaltStick Caps + Caffeine?
Yes. SaltStick Caps can be alternated with SaltStick Caps + Caffeine when you want to manage your total caffeine intake.
For example, some athletes may use non-caffeinated SaltStick Caps earlier in an endurance event and introduce the caffeinated version later. Always account for caffeine from all other foods, drinks and supplements.
Can I take SaltStick Caps with a sports drink?
Yes. SaltStick Caps can be taken with either water or a sports drink.
If using them alongside an electrolyte or sports drink, include the drink's sodium and other electrolyte content when planning your overall intake.
Do I need to drink water with SaltStick Caps?
SaltStick recommends swallowing the capsules with water or another suitable beverage. This generally makes them easier and more comfortable to swallow.
Electrolytes do not replace the fluids lost through sweat, so appropriate fluid intake should remain part of your hydration strategy.
Can I open SaltStick Caps and mix the powder into a drink?
Yes. SaltStick Caps can be opened and the contents mixed into water or a sports drink.
The powder has a naturally salty taste and may not completely dissolve. Consume the entire drink to ensure you receive the full contents of the capsule.
Can I chew a SaltStick Capsule or empty it directly into my mouth?
SaltStick does not recommend this method. Opening the capsule directly into your mouth produces a strong salty taste and may be less comfortable than swallowing the capsule as directed.
How quickly do SaltStick Caps work?
Digestion and absorption times vary between individuals and may be affected by exercise intensity, food intake, fluid intake and other factors.
Rather than waiting until you feel depleted, SaltStick Caps are designed to be used consistently throughout activity according to the directions on the product label and your individual hydration requirements.
Are SaltStick Caps sugar free?
Yes. SaltStick Caps provide electrolytes in a convenient capsule format without sugar, making them particularly useful for athletes who prefer to manage carbohydrate and electrolyte intake separately.
What sports are SaltStick Caps suitable for?
SaltStick Caps can be used across a wide range of endurance and high-sweat activities, including running, cycling, triathlon, hiking and prolonged training sessions.
How should I store SaltStick Caps?
Store SaltStick Caps tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Protect the capsules from moisture, excessive heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
