SaltStick has released the results of a groundbreaking clinical study demonstrating the rapid absorption capabilities of its FastChews® electrolyte tablets. Conducted in partnership with Western Colorado University, the study revealed that nearly 50% of the sodium content in FastChews can be absorbed within the first 45 seconds of consumption. This is significantly faster than traditional hydration products like sports drinks or electrolyte powders, which typically take at least 20 minutes to enter the bloodstream.

FastChews® electrolyte tablets’ rapid absorption is attributed to the buccal mucosa in the mouth, which allows nutrients to bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream directly. FastChews offers a practical solution for those needing immediate electrolyte replenishment during or after intense physical activity while also preventing symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, and lightheadedness.
