Vitassium is a medical food specifically formulated to provide sodium and potassium for the clinical dietary management of autonomic dysfunction including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Cystic Fibrosis (CF), and Vasovagal Syncope, when increased plasma volume has been shown to be beneficial. If you are an individual whose physician has recommended additional intake of salt (sodium), Vitassium may be helpful to increase your electrolyte intake in a simple capsule format. Vitassium comes in smaller, size "0" vegan capsules that are easy to swallow and easy on the stomach. Vitassium also contains potassium in a 5:1 ratio that provides a balanced intake of both major blood electrolytes.

Too expensive for basic suppliment
Definately too expensive for salt, this product takes advantage of those in need of basics.We make this stuff ourselves because the company is charging 10 times what it should cost:It's just NaCl (Morton table salt) and Potassium Citrate (here on Amazon) in vegan capsules size Zero. You can calculate it out, weigh a batch for 100, Get a pill tray on another site for 8$, a tiny "sand art" funnel and you can make these yourself even WITH the condition you wish to help.If you don't specifically need pills, you can mix a large batch and put small doses in food or in water with some sugar as an electrolye drink.Again, they are depending on the desperate for this item at this price for such simple contents, that high price is what led us to make it ourselves. If it was half I might be a returning customer.and…there is no flavor with pills, that is a false quality to rate.

Miracle Product for POTS, OI and low blood pressure
This is a miracle product for people who have low blood pressure, POTS or Orthostatic Intolerance!! My husband scoured the grocery store aisles many times reading the nutritional labels on the backs of food products looking for items with the highest salt content. Our pantry is full of them!! People don't realize how much salt (and fluids) is needed to treat POTS etc. I was unable to get enough salt from my diet to raise my blood pressure enough, so my doctor put me on the medication fludrocortisone and told me I still needed to consume tons of salt and fluids in order for it to work. I was so discouraged because I still struggled to consume enough salt and my stomach always hurt. I was also very concerned about the side effect of fludrocortisone of lowered potassium levels, which can be very dangerous. I was THRILLED to find the Saltstick Vitassium pills that have high amounts of sodium and also potassium! And I was even more thrilled that they don't hurt my stomach. Please don't ever discontinue this item!! From, a POTsie Nurse :)

Perfect for Dyautonomia POTS sufferers
My son who is 23 has suffered from debilitating episodes of dizziness, blackouts and vertigo to the point of falling down the stairs a few times from having POTS. We are 1 week into him taking this supplement. He now has energy and no weakness, dizziness, blackouts or vertigo and he is happier and less depressed because he feels so much better! Total game changer for POTS sufferers! Will update with progress!

Perfect for getting in your sodium after a POTS diagnosis
I was diagnosed with POTS several months ago and my doctor advised that I should increase my sodium intake to help alleviate the symptoms. This product is easy to take and never upsets my stomach. It really helps me get in the amount of sodium I need without having to Salt up every piece of food that goes in my mouth. I highly recommend to all POTS patients

Finally an electrolyte product for those with chronic illnesses!
This product has given me my life back. I have Ehlers Danlos and my electrolytes levels are always low. I have tried dozens of electrolyte products. Some helped more than others, but none really made a significant difference. From the first dose of Vitassium, I felt my brain fog leave and I felt more awake and alert than I can ever remember feeling. Instead of needing to lay down and rest 2-3x a day from exhaustion, now I rarely need to at all. I've also noticed I can regulate my body temperature much better and can tolerate being outside in the summer heat for hours now instead of 10 mins max.This product has improved the quality of my life so much, I feel like I have a second chance to enjoy it instead of barely making it through each day. I'm truly grateful.

I've tried almost all of the other ones and hated them because they made my nausea even worse
These are the only salt pills that don't turn my sensitive stomach. I've tried almost all of the other ones and hated them because they made my nausea even worse. These helps my POTS symptoms tremendously. I like that I can take a few pills and don't have to worry as much with oversalting all of my food. I can enjoy eating again!

Phenomenal product and company. Highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing! I have Dysautonomia/POTS/NMS/MCAS/EDS and typically order with a discount from their site. This time I ran out and with slower postal times couldn't wait for my next delivery so I came to Amazon. Very glad I did. I highly recommend this product and the company in general! They really go over and above to help athletes and folks with autonomic issues. I have no reactions to this formula at all which is rare with my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).Thank you SaltStick!
