Your answer
Salt will not fix your cramps. Two other things might.
You said cramping goes first. Nearly every brand on the shelf sells you salt for it. The research does not back that, but it does point somewhere.
Start with the part nobody selling you salt wants to say. A cramp is a tired muscle, not a salty one.
At one big 100 mile race they checked. How much salt a runner took did not change who cramped. Not the amount. Not the timing.
90 to 96%
of athletes take salt for cramps anyway. We could have sold you the same thing and hoped you did not check. The next section is what we sell instead.
So what does hold up
Creatine. A review of more than 200 studies found it may lower how often people cramp, and may help you handle heat.
In one college football season, players taking creatine had significantly less cramping, heat illness and dehydration than players who were not. That study watched players rather than testing them head to head, so take it as a strong signal and not as proof.
5 g
of creatine monohydrate in every stick. More than the daily maintenance dose those players were on.
And one thing to stop doing
Check your current stack for magnesium oxide. Oxide is the cheap form. Your body absorbs about 4% of it. The rest sits in your gut, and it causes cramping.
Ours is magnesium glycinate. Your body takes in about 19% of that. Switching does not add anything. It removes a cause.
4% vs 19%
how much of the magnesium your body actually absorbs. One study in a special patient group found no gap, which we mention because it exists.
The honest version
We will not tell you we stop cramps. Nobody gets to say that, and we cut that claim from this product.
What we will say is this. The two things with real evidence behind them are both in the box, at a dose above the one that showed the effect. And the form that causes cramping is not in it.
What is actually in the box
One stick, 12.85g, 20 per box. No stimulants, no sugar. Nothing on this page is a claim about it.
One stick a day through the block, and one on the morning of. That is the entire protocol.
Both of the things with evidence behind them, in one stick.
5g of creatine monohydrate, and magnesium as glycinate rather than oxide.
