SaltStick Caps, Bottle of 100 Electrolyte Replacement Capsules for Reh

Customer Reviews

Life changingMy daughter has POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and was suffering from nausea, dizziness, fast heart rate, and super low blood pressure when standing up. She would go ashen pale, and her lips would look blue when suffering from an attack. We tried a high salt diet and supplementing from electrolytes, but she could not ingest enough to keep her blood pressure consistently in the normal range. This product has been a game changer for her. She takes 2 pills, 3x a day, and her color is back, she feels good and is able to study and work again. No more dizziness or nausea! We were so grateful to find something that was buffered to keep it from impacting her stomach. Thank you! I am not usually a "reviewer", but came on the site tonight just to express our gratitude. 5No more headaches!! Life changer!!I do not want this to sound overly dramatic but I'm sure it will. This product has changed my life. I used to get terrible, debilitating headaches anywhere around 2 to 4 hours after my runs. I tried everything from hydrating really well including the day before, right before my runs, during my runs and after. I drank water, sports drinks with electrolytes but nothing seemed to work. The headaches were inevitable and I dreaded them to the point where I would skip runs. I fueled properly with food, got plenty of sleep but this too did not help. So what would happen is I would have to take ibuprofen before the headache started or else it would get out of control and honestly ruin the rest of my day. I decided to try something else and this was SaltStick Capsules. I took 1 capsule about 30 minutes before I started out and hoped for the best. I ended up getting a headache although it was a bit less severe. Next time I took 1 capsule 30 minutes before, 1 about 45 minutes into my run. I felt a headache coming on later that day but this one obviously less severe so I took 1 more capsule. Headache did not continue. I did not want to post this review until I was sure it was due to SaltStick Caps that were preventing my headaches and I can confirm after a few weeks of headache free runs I have found the key. My formula now, depending on level of effort, humidity and length of run is to take 1 capsule before, 1 during and 1 within 30 minutes of completing a run. As a plus, I also get less muscle soreness and fatigue. If you suffer from headaches as I did please do yourself a favor and try SaltStick Capsules. I do not know how these compare to other electrolyte replacement capsules but I personally do not need to try any other product. Perfect product for me. 5Pediatric cardiologist recommended SaltStick brand by nameMy teenage daughter needs this for treatment of POTS, per her pediatric cardiologist (who recommended SaltStick brand by name). The capsules are dauntingly large (she takes four per dose, 2x daily) to swallow, but I open them into orange juice, shake it *very* well, and she gets it down with no problem. Since this has been incorporated into her regimen (along with a LOT of water), her symptoms have dissipated dramatically. I wouldn't mind if the product was available in powder form, but for now, opening the capsules is a workable (albeit tedious when you're in a hurry) workaround.As an aside, I have had to contact SaltStick with questions on a couple of occasions, and the company is responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. 5... have dysautonomia and firmly believe that these are the best salt/electrolyte replacement on the marketI have dysautonomia and firmly believe that these are the best salt/electrolyte replacement on the market. There isn't as much per tablet as there is with other supplements, but if you compare the prices, it tends to be cheaper to take multiple SaltStick tablets per day than it is to use the other supplements I've tried. Plus, no sugar or artificial sugar! (NormaLyte, Elete drops, Nuun Tablets.) 5I saw one of the cows, across the street on a salt-lick block. I thought: WHAT THE HECK! (Ironically, my CALVES used to cramp.)ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN... like they say, but, I'm an 80%-disabledmilitary-retiree. My legs & feet swelled horribly, so I was put on a medication thatSUCKS THE WATER OUT. That's great. However, I started having leg-cramps allthe freakin' time. I tried all the MAGNESIUM/ZINC/Vitamin D pills I could find.__________________________________________________________________This product---- I take one after every OTHER glass of water ----has turned this 68year-old into a spring-puppy, again! Works for ME!__________________________________________________________________ 5but not a good feeling. Now I use them with care and ...These really work well, but buyer beware...they really work! Disregard the nutrition info and percentages.... if you slam 2 or more of these without being in a legitimate electrolyte deficiency you will feel it! I took two on the way to the gym and they made me feel very strange...hard to explain, but not a good feeling. Now I use them with care and moderation, they work really well with intermittent fasting as a way to keep electrolyte levels while fasting and while doing extreme exercise. My suggestion is start with 1 and wait a while, then take another if doing prolonged (several hour) activity. Don't take these if you have good nutrition, are eating a moderate sale diet to begin with, or aren't exercising. 5Salt Stick CapsI work in construction in Denver, where it is both hot and very dry all summer. I found that no amount of water could prevent me from driving home with a nauseous headache. I really try to avoid added sugar and food dye, so drinking a ton of Gatorade was not going to happen. I reached the point that I thought if I couldn't find a solution I was going to end up hurting myself or someone else trying to drive home in that condition, so my husband went to REI to look for a solution for me. He came home with this, and I have never gone to work without it since. I have used it for several years now, just taking one or two whenever I start to feel bad (or sooner if I'm paying attention). That generally works out to 1-4 per 8 hour day, depending on the humidity and intensity of the sun. (If you've never lived in a high desert that might not make sense...) On a good day that completely solves the problem. On a bad day I go home with a manageable, every day kind of headache. I have recommended this product to several of my coworkers, who have also found it helpful. 5Changed my life... not kidding.Struggled with post run headaches for a couple of years. Headache would come on around 1 pm after an 8 am run ranging from 4-11 miles. Chalked it up and took 800 mg of ibuprofen to get through rest if day and would wake up next day with headache too. I then started playing with hydration and nutrition day before and morning of with no changes. Read somewhere that salty sweaters need to replace the salt. I have a white film on me after I'm dried somewhat indicated salt loss. I started licking himalayan rock salt sporadically post run with slight changes. Then, I read a blog that mentioned this product and the person had the same issue I did. Couldn't wait to try it so went to local running store that sold it. Followed bloggers recommendations after they had done trial and error. I took 2 capsules 1/2 hour before run then one capsule after running for 1 hour and another at hour 2, if applicable. In any case, I took 1 capsule at 1 hour intervals for at least 2 hours post run and voila!!!!!! NO HEADACHE!!! I've never taken more than 6 in a day. Limit is 10 per manufacturer. I just ran my 4th half marathon using this strategy and still cannot believe I found the trick after all this time. 5Really helps with the Sodium for POTS patientsAfter being diagnosed with POTS, my doctor recommended that I increase my sodium intake. These capsules help me get in my sodium and never upset my stomach. Highly recommend 5Lifestyle saver!Accessory)I have eds and pots. I thought I was managing with diet and Gatorade but haven't been able to drink plain water in years. Being super active, carrying enough sports drink to keep me from severe dehydration was beyond cumbersome but I wasn't willing to give up my lifestyle for a little comfort. These pills really are magic! I can use a hydration pack (and purifier for long trips) and am more hydrated than I have been in years. Even after extreme sweating I feel surprisingly good. Beyond that my blood pressure is behaving and I haven't craved salty food for the first time I can remember! These will be my daily companion from here on. THANK YOU! 5
