Product FAQs
1. When should I take SaltStick FastChews?
Most athletes take 2 tablets every 30 minutes during exercise, depending on sweat rate, heat, and workout intensity. FastChews can be taken before, during, or after exercise whenever electrolyte support is needed. They are especially useful during running, cycling, hiking, travel, hot weather, and heavy sweating.
2. Do SaltStick FastChews help prevent muscle cramps?
FastChews help support electrolyte balance during exercise, which may help reduce muscle cramps associated with dehydration and heavy sweating.
3. Can FastChews be dissolved in water to create a sports drink?
No. SaltStick FastChews are designed to be chewed, not mixed into water. Chewing allows electrolytes to begin absorbing through the tissues in your mouth for faster delivery.
4. How many FastChews equals one SaltStick Capsule?
Approximately 4 SaltStick FastChews provide the same electrolyte content as 1 SaltStick Caps capsule. FastChews are formulated for smaller, more frequent electrolyte doses.
5. How should FastChews be stored?
Store unopened packets or bottles at room temperature in dry conditions. Once opened, keep sealed and use as soon as practical to protect the tablets from moisture.
6. What happens if FastChews get wet?
FastChews are sensitive to moisture because salt naturally absorbs water. Exposure to humidity or water may cause them to soften, discolor, or fall apart, but this does not affect safety or performance.
7. Do I need to take FastChews with water?
No. FastChews can be taken with or without water. They replace electrolytes lost in sweat, while water replaces fluid loss.
8. Can I suck on FastChews or do I need to chew them?
You can chew SaltStick FastChews or let them dissolve slowly in your mouth. For best results, allow them to dissolve fully before drinking water.
9. Why is sodium citrate used rather than sodium chloride?
Sodium citrate is often easier on sensitive stomachs during exercise and tastes less salty than sodium chloride, improving flavor and usability.
