Been looking into salt tabs and found Thermotabs at Walmart. Anyone have any experience using these during Tris? Work well?

Amount per tablet:

Chloride 287mg
Sodium 180mg
Potassium 15mg

If don’t use these, any recommendations?

Thanks!

I’ve used them many times with no problems. They work for me.

I’ve used them. Nice, cheap alternative. The only problem I ever had with them is turning to powder during the run. I used to carry them in a tic tac box which really turned them into powder. Problem solved with a ziploc baggie just stuffed up the leg of my bike shorts. I took 2/hr during hot races with additional NaCl obtained via Powergel.

Been using them for years. Great product and so much less expensive than the more advertised brands. They just work…
