As a general guideline, athletes should consume 1-2 SaltStick Fastchews every 15-30 minutes or 1 SaltStick Capsule per 30-60 minutes during any land-based activity (bike/run) for the duration of the activity.
In hot conditions, extreme humidity, or for larger athletes, a greater number of tablets may be needed to maintain safe electrolyte levels.
The addition of SaltStick Caps or SaltStick Caps Plus can be an effective means to further supplement.
The maximum number of tablets recommended per day is 50, although athletes in extreme conditions and longer events may find it necessary to exceed this number, or to combine intake with SaltStick Caps.
It is strongly recommended to test your planned electrolyte protocol in training several times before race day.
Contact your physician before starting any exercise program or if you are taking any medication. Individuals with high blood pressure should also consult their physician prior to taking an electrolyte supplement. Overdose of electrolytes is possible, with symptoms such as vomiting and feeling ill, and care should be taken not to overdose on any electrolyte supplement.
