I get salt stick tablets. There are several different flavors and have several electrolytes

seconding saltstick they're excellent

I use the Nuun tablets they are very affordable. Usually also add a little extra salt because I like the taste. They have electrolytes and 2g sugar

LMNT (offer a free sample, lots of salt), nuun (less electrolytes, good for days where you are not in a flare), Vitassium (discount offered for illness, chewable, fast, compact)

I use Vitassium salt sticks. I honestly haven't noticed a difference though.

i’m not so sure about salt tablets but when i’m in a pickle and i need some salt i juts take a handful of the little salt packets at food stands where i work. they’re easy to carry around and i usually take them with some water

My doctor says NO for me, but hes okay with me adding as much salt as i want to my food. My kidney also impacted by the last 3 years of POTS, low potassium, high bp, high heart rate, inappropriate tachy, breast cancer, fun

Me personally I hate the salt tablets they taste so bad, so now I just eat salty foods and get salt sticks when I can afford them

I honestly make a salty lemonade (only the tiniest punch of sugar, the rest is salt 😂)

For a cheap alternative I use the sports electrolyte chews you can find them in Walmart at the sports section for like three bucks
