SaltStick® Launches FastChews® + Caffeine – #1 Requested Product from Athletes

May 20, 2025

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF — May 20, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – SaltStick®, a leader in electrolyte innovation, today announced the launch of SaltStick FastChews + Caffeine, the brand’s most requested product innovation. This new line delivers the same rapid electrolyte replenishment athletes love—now with 15 mg of caffeine from green tea to help increase energy and reduce fatigue.

“We’re extremely proud of the launch of FastChews + Caffeine because it reflects the culmination of more than two years of work to develop a winning formula,” said Jess Cerra, Vice President Product Development, Quality, & Community at Alete Active Nutrition, which owns the SaltStick brand. “It took many rounds of testing – both internally and with athletes – to get a flavor experience that matches our existing FastChews product line, but maintains our clean ingredient profile. After years of being asked by FastChews fans for a caffeinated version, I’m thrilled we can finally deliver.”

As innovative, chewable tablets, FastChews are clinically proven to start working in 45 seconds – no mixing and no waiting. They can be carried on the go to replenish electrolytes quickly, regardless of activity. Each two-tablet serving includes 100 mg sodium, as well as potassium, calcium, and magnesium to support endurance, reduce muscle cramps, and optimize performance. The caffeinated versions include 15 mg of caffeine from green tea extract for an added boost.

“The original FastChews product has been successful due to its fast-acting abilities, and the caffeinated versions deliver on that promise as well. Even with 15 mg of caffeine, these are quite ‘zippy,’” said Cerra. “They’re another tool for both elite athletes looking to find that extra edge and performance seekers who need a pick-me-up before or during their next workout.”

FastChews + Caffeine are available in two delicious flavors:

• Tropical Twist – Available in 60ct bottles ($17.99) and 10ct resealable packets ($3.50)
• Citrus Burst – Available in 60ct bottles ($17.99)

All SaltStick products are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and made without artificial colors or sweeteners. FastChews + Caffeine can be purchased at SaltStick.com, Amazon, The Feed, and specialty run retailers nationwide.
