Pediatric cardiologist recommended SaltStick brand by name
My teenage daughter needs this for treatment of POTS, per her pediatric cardiologist (who recommended SaltStick brand by name). The capsules are dauntingly large (she takes four per dose, 2x daily) to swallow, but I open them into orange juice, shake it *very* well, and she gets it down with no problem. Since this has been incorporated into her regimen (along with a LOT of water), her symptoms have dissipated dramatically. I wouldn't mind if the product was available in powder form, but for now, opening the capsules is a workable (albeit tedious when you're in a hurry) workaround.
As an aside, I have had to contact SaltStick with questions on a couple of occasions, and the company is responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with.
