As a sponsor of many elite-level athletes around the globe, we take the safety of our products seriously, and SaltStick Caps is the electrolyte capsule of choice. The product is produced in a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) facility to ensure product of the highest quality.

SaltStick Caps are safe and legal for use in any sporting event governed by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), the US Anti-Doping Association (USADA), the UCI (Union Cycliste International), and the NFL (National Football League), among others.

Accidental contamination of supplements with prohibited substances is of great concern for every athlete, especially professionals who are tested on a regular basis. Every lot of SaltStick Caps is tested for WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) prohibited substances by HFL Sport Science, the testing lab behind INFORMED-CHOICE. All lots being sold on the market have tested negative for contamination, and Saltstick Caps is the ONLY electrolyte capsule on the market to be tested. More information on HFL's testing is available here.

HFL (and INFORMED-CHOICE) offers the ONLY supplement testing program that uses a WADA-experienced lab and ISO 17025 accredited analytical methods to analyse for banned substances. More information on the program is available here.

SaltStick Caps are produced in a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) facility, certified by the Natural Products Association. Between each production run, machines in this contract lab are cleaned based on cGMP compliant cleaning procedures, as well as all other handling steps. This ensures the quality of the final product is of the highest pharmaceutical standard.
