SaltStick Electrolytes (SaltStick) launched an electrolyte capsule line called Race Ready made for athletes who need to make informed decisions about what they put in their bodies when training and competing.
SaltStick has been an advocate for clean sport, relying on quality ingredients and independent product testing since 2008 when the company was founded. This commitment continues with its latest line of Race Ready electrolyte capsules.
The line consists of Race Ready Caps and Race Ready Caps Plus (formerly SaltStick Caps Plus). Both products are Informed Sport Certified, meaning third-party LGC Science tests every lot before entering the market to safeguard against banned substances.
“A growing number of companies understand that clean sport benefits everyone and are stepping up to share the responsibility for maintaining a fair competing environment,” said Ben Hoffman, seven-time Ironman champion. “Professional athletes must go to great lengths to avoid accidentally ingesting a banned substance. Partnerships like Informed Sport require significant investment, but their certification offers tremendous assurance.”
Like all its products, Race Ready helps athletes maintain performance by replacing a full spectrum of electrolytes that closely mirrors the breakdown found in sweat. SaltSticks’ scientific formula and clean ingredients help minimize heat stress, fatigue and muscle cramping due to dehydration. Race Ready products are formulated with sodium citrate to help reduce stomach discomfort.
Each serving of SaltStick Race Ready Caps Plus features the addition of 30mg of caffeine for a legal ergogenic boost. Caffeine has been shown in studies to aid sports performance, increasing sprint performance, strength, alertness, and endurance.
“The commitment to clean sport is ingrained in our company’s DNA,” said Jess Cerra, professional gravel cyclist and vice president of product and community development at SaltStick’s parent company, Alete Active Nutrition. “So many elite athletes already rely on SaltStick to fuel their training and racing. We’re excited to take that commitment to the next level with our partnership with Informed Sport for the launch of Race Ready.”
The suggested use for Race Ready products is one capsule with water every 30-to-60 minutes during physical activity. Race Ready products are available in 100-count bottles and 4-cap packets. To learn more, visit Race Ready Caps and Race Ready Caps Plus.
