About SaltStick

SaltStick electrolyte capsules are formulated to closely match the electrolyte profile of human sweat — replacing the specific minerals lost during exercise rather than providing a generic salt supplement. SaltStick is widely used by Irish marathon runners, Ironman triathletes, and ultra-distance athletes who train and race in warm conditions or over long durations where sweat loss is significant. New stock is added regularly — check back or visit us in-store for the latest SaltStick products.

Why Electrolytes Matter for Endurance Sport

• Cramp prevention — electrolyte depletion — particularly sodium and magnesium — is one of the primary causes of muscle cramping during long runs, triathlons, and cycling events — replacing electrolytes during exercise significantly reduces cramping risk
• Hydration balance — electrolytes regulate fluid balance in the body — drinking water alone during prolonged exercise can dilute blood sodium levels (hyponatraemia), causing nausea, confusion, and in severe cases serious medical complications — electrolyte supplementation maintains the correct fluid balance
• Performance maintenance — electrolyte depletion contributes to fatigue, reduced coordination, and declining performance in the later stages of long events — regular electrolyte intake helps maintain performance from start to finish
