One of the best ways to avoid cramp while on a bike ride or run. Cycling is my preference and I tend to start feeling the cramp ache in my lower quad (typically rectus femoris & vastus medialis - yes, I had to look up those names! In laymans terms the middle thigh muscle that leads to your knee cap and as you are looking down at your knee that lump of muscle that sits above your knee and to the left) around the 50 mile mark of an event based ride during the summer months. It's a combination of fatigue from pushing a little harder on event day, age (nearly 49), and dehydration which sucks the salts away. Before you roll your eyes at dehydration, yes I do take on fluid in the form of High 5 4:1 High 5 4:1 Summer Fruits Energy Source 1.6Kg , as well as gels and food, it's just the combination of factors that tips me into cramp-ville. With the extra help of Saltstick I can prevent the cramp and enjoy my ride

Bought these as opposed to effervescent tablets Found them to be excellent value and convenient Would defo recommend and will be buying again

It's difficult to know with complete confidence if these solved my cramps at 100Km (on bike rides) or whether general fitness improved and cramps were going to be less likely in any case. I tend to mix the tablet contents into my water bottle (capsules are easy to pull open) but on long rides do pop the tabs as well at feed stations in accordance with the suggested dosage. Whether its fitness or not cramping up is horrible and these tabs have definitely helped.

Absolute savour for me! I have a stoma, and have stomach/bowel issues that effect the amount of fluid I can consume, but I need additional electrolytes. I can’t stand options like dioralyte and ORS, so these capsuals offered something different for me and are an additional supplement to complement my existing management

Top quality product, always suffered with cramp on race day marathons/ultras….but not anymore! Highly recommended

Very useful replacement of lost salts after sweating excessively. I use it after long bike rides and a heavy sessions in the gym and sauna. I also work in a very warm environment and use the salt sticks at work and really feel they perk me up. I find this product very kind to my stomach even when taken on an empty stomach. I've read about this product in a sports magazine and I thought I give it a try - I used some magnesium supplements in the past - as I'm very aware of taking in too much sodium due my higher blood pressure - but the tablets very too big and also used to make me feel sick. The salt stick capsules are easy to swallow too.

I have been suffering with muscle cramps whilst cycling for the last few years, it was seriously reducing my enjoyment of the sport, I have tried everything that I knew or could read about to sort the issue. I tried these as a last resort after a recommendation by a Ironman/Triathlon Athlete. They have been a revelation no more cramps and it enabled me to complete a 196mile 3 day mountain bike event and not a hint of cramp, and it was over some truly monster climbs.(You must of course hydrate and fuel yourself appropriately).
