Personal experience
SaltStick is the tested product here
SALTBLAST's founder uses SaltStick Capsules before and after workouts and around sauna, steam-room, and cardio sessions. He likes their portability, zero-sugar label, and take-it-with-water simplicity, and reports perceived help with pumps and recovery. Nuun Sport has not yet been personally tested by SALTBLAST, so its details here come from the manufacturer—not a hands-on verdict.
The practical choice
Choose by ritual
Want a drink to sip? Nuun fits that routine. Want plain water and a capsule? SaltStick fits that one.
Compare real servings
A tablet and a capsule are not interchangeable units. Read the serving directions and sodium amount on each current label.
Taste matters
Nuun adds flavour. SaltStick Capsules do not. The format you will consistently use is often the more useful one.
