NFL New York Jets have SaltStick Caps on hand for player's use
It's not an official sponsorship, but the New York Jets know something that other NFL teams haven't yet discovered...that SaltStick Caps can help keep players on the field and playing their best. While there are many successful strategies to dealing with heat exhaustion and muscle cramping, using SaltStick Caps in the arsenal of products is worth consideration. The Jets also know that SaltStick Caps are tested not to contain any banned substances, thus their confidence in making SaltStick Caps available to their players.

Jordan Rapp's Secret Formula for Success at Ironman
SaltStick-sponsored athlete Jordan Rapp, fresh off wins at both Ironman Canada and Ironman Arizona, is one of the most scientific athletes on the circuit. His nutrition plan for Ironman Arizona shows just how calculated Jordan can be when it comes to numbers. During the course of his record-breaking 8:13:35 win, Jordan consumed 30 SaltStick Caps in the Arizona heat, with no cramping, and a race win.

Recent athlete feedback
"Have been using SaltStick leading up to race week and during the races. Haven't really been training in all too hot of an environment. Anyways, just thought I should let you know that SaltStick had a positive effect on my victory at USA National Championships in Tuscaloosa, AL and 2nd place finish at the Chicago Triathlon. Thanks! Matt Chrabot"
Devon Crosby-Helms: JFK 50 mile Winner's Race Report "I took a saltstick cap every hour and took a Hyper Vespa at 3 hrs. I just clipped along. Not feeling like I was pushing too hard, in fact was quite comfortable. I told Scotty about how I was trying to learn how to push myself hard ..."
