Made in Utah. Every lot is lab tested. Quickle is a 1% for the Planet member.

What’s in the stick, and why.

Grouped by job here. The label lists them by weight.

Acid

Vinegar powder~0.7 g acetic acid

The ingredient the stick is built around. It’s why this tastes like brine and not a sports drink.

Sodium diacetatevinegar salt

Keeps the acid stable and sharp in dry form, without adding liquid.

Electrolytes

Sodium chloride700 mg sodium

Sweat losses vary a lot from person to person. Treat this as a starting point.

Potassium chloride300 mg potassium

Less than the sodium, because sweat carries less of it.

Magnesium glycinate50 mg magnesium

The chelated form, picked over the cheaper oxide because it sits easier mid-effort.

Everything else

Taurine~1000 mg

An amino acid your body already makes. It plays a supporting role here. What the research does and doesn’t say.

Natural dill flavor 

So it tastes like the jar, not like candy.

Monk fruit extract0 g sugar

Takes the hardest edge off the acid.

Close-up of Quickle powder with dill

Dill pickle brine, dried down.

Sharp vinegar first, salt in the middle, a short clean finish. Not sweet. People who like pickles tend to like it right away. People who don’t usually come around after a few tries.

Palate
Bright acidity up front, briny body
Finish
Short and salty, nothing lingering

How to take it.

  1. Pour one stick into 2 to 4 oz of cold water.
  2. Cap it and shake for five to ten seconds.
  3. Drink it in one or two pulls, then go back to plain water.

How much water

To scale in a standard 500 mL soft flask. A stick needs barely enough water to cover the bottom.

Less water and the vinegar lands harder. More and it rounds out. Much past 4 oz, the acid fades and it starts tasting like salty water. New to it? Start at 4 and work down.

When

Before
10 to 15 minutes before a hot or long effort.
During
Ahead of the stretch that usually goes sideways for you.
After
On days you finish with salt dried on your skin.
Limit
Up to 2 sticks a day. Count the sodium in everything else you take.

Worth the ounce.

Everything in a running vest has to earn its place, and the stick should too. We kept the two things pickle brine does well, the acid and the salt, and left out the jar and the sugar.

Every ingredient is listed above with the reason it’s in there, and the research we lean on is on the Why Quickle page, including what it doesn’t show. If it doesn’t work for you, I want to hear about it. That’s how the next batch gets better.

Will it sit OK in my stomach mid-effort?

Vinegar and salt on a working stomach is a lot the first time. Most people adapt after one or two tries. Test it on a training day before you rely on it in a race, same as any new fuel.

Does it replace my drink mix?

It can replace an electrolyte-only mix. It can’t replace anything you use for carbs. Quickle has about 20 calories, so keep your gels, chews or carb drink and use this for the salt and the vinegar hit. Space them about 10 minutes apart, before or after. A sharp acid shot and a gel at the same moment is a lot for most stomachs.

Can I mix it into a full bottle?

You can, but the vinegar thins out and it reads as mildly salty water. It’s built to be a small shot. If you want a sipping drink, a standard mix is the better tool.

I watch my sodium. Is this for me?

Each stick has 700 mg of sodium and 300 mg of potassium. If you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney issues, or have been told to limit either one, talk with your doctor first.

What if I don’t like it?

It’s food, so all sales are final. That’s why the 2-pack exists: try two sticks on real days before you buy a carton. If an order shows up damaged, wrong or incomplete, email us within 7 days with photos and we’ll replace it.
