opening salt stick tabs
I have used capsule electrolytes and i have gotten used to taking them. It takes a little more practice on the bike. I use the salt stick dispenser on the bike and it makes it easy to grab a capsule and them I wash it down with water(bottle mounted on handlebars).
If you dump the caps into liquid it will still deliver the electrolytes you need.
Nothing to it, but to do it
What I find works best on the bike is to put the capsule in your mouth and wedge it on the side against your cheek and your teeth. While it's stuck there, take in a bunch of water and then let the capsule free and swallow.

i bought salt stick tablets for electrolytes, and am having a tough time swallowing them while biking and running. can i open them and pour the contents into my perpetuem 'milkshake'? will this somehow ruin the electrolytes?
aside from not having to slow down for a few minutes to get it down, i like the idea of slowing replacing them when i sip every 20 minutes, rather than taking a pill every hour.
