Pickle Juice for Cramps? Does It Work?

Pickle Juice for cramps is one of the most efficient isotonic drinks available to purchase in Australia. This supplement is not only useful in restoring the body’s natural electrolyte levels after periods of intensive sweating but, because of the high concentration of Sodium and the briny taste, it is also exceedingly useful in treating the immediate side effects of food/alcohol poisoning.

Purpose-built and 100% natural, Pickle Juice is designed to stop muscle cramps from appearing or minimise their effect once they start after intense workout sessions. Pickle juice for cramps is ideal for:

  1.                      People who suffer from the occasional muscle cramp due to mild/medium physical effort

  2.                      For those individuals who are spending hours on end in the hot Australian sun with minimal hydration

  3.                      For people who want to replenish their natural electrolyte levels without resorting to conventional ORSs.

Pickle Juice for cramps is a natural isotonic drink that’s 100% free of caffeine, gluten, GMOs or added sugar. It can be consumed before exercise routines, after them, or even in between sets. Plus, Pickle Juice makes use of a proprietary blend of organic ingredients that have an impact on the nerve signals sent to muscles. It just works, and at least for me, it’s one of the most efficient electrolyte beverages available in Australia.

What’s So Special About It?

Pickle Juice uses only natural ingredients with no added fillers. These include:

  1.                      Dual filtered water

  2.                      Organic vinegar

  3.                      Salt

  4.                      Dill oil

  5.                      Tapioca starch

  6.                      Added Potassium, Vitamin C, E and Zinc

  7.                      Rosemary Extract

  8.                      Organic Glycerine

  9.                      Organic Maltodextrin

  10.                      And organic lime

A 240 mg serving of Pickle Juice will have 820mg of Sodium, which is more than you can usually find with other sport drinks, and no less than 6mg of Zinc, which is 40% of the daily recommended value. Because of the higher concentration of Sodium, the formula in Pickle Juice for cramps is faster acting than other types of electrolyte beverages, and, according to the manufacturer, it acts in mere seconds, compared to the minutes it usually takes for other sports drinks.

It’s a Purpose-Built Drink for Serious Electrolyte Requirements

Compared to other conventional electrolyte beverages, Pickle Juice for cramps is scientifically proven to inhibit electrically induced muscle cramps via a mechanism that’s suspected to originate in the oropharyngeal region and that acts on the alpha motor neurons in the cramping muscle. Pickle Juice is not as much of a hydration drink as it can be looked at as an inhibitor of cramps that triggers a neurological reflex once it hits the back of the throat.

Pickle juice for cramps has a much higher concentration of Sodium than other electrolyte beverages, and it has minimal sugar, so it’s good for people struggling with type 1 or 2 diabetes. It’s not the healthiest thing to drink long-term if you are worried about regulating your blood pressure, but it’s a simple and efficient beverage if you need an electrolyte “reset” in mere seconds. In fact, this fast-acting property is exactly why it’s probably my favourite isotonic drink available on the market right now.

But Why Choose Beverages and Not Powder Mixes?

When it comes to the grand old debate between pre-made drinks and electrolyte powder mixes, personally, I am under the impression that personal preferences are the only real thing that matters. Powder mixes are convenient to carry with you; they are lightweight, they come in a huge variety of flavours and you can make the drinks as concentrated as you need. That said, personally, I prefer pre-made electrolyte beverages, and that’s for two main reasons:

1)                  They are already prepared for you

  1.                      Electrolyte drinks require no scooping, no calculating the right concentration of electrolytes, and they don’t need you to have some water nearby. They are already mixed at the right concentration; you can consume them immediately, and you don’t need to shake them up or wait for dissolution. They are convenient in this regard. 

2)                  They are more functional

  1.                      Electrolyte beverages are pre-formulated for specific purposes, and for this reason, their composition is often different from that of powders. Drinks like Pickle Juice have a standardised dosage of electrolytes per serving, while the number of electrolytes in powder mixes depends on how much water you add with them.

How Should You Feel After Drinking Pickle Juice?

Truth to be told, everyone is a bit different when it comes to things like this. What were your electrolyte levels before you started losing them via sweating? How much water did you drink today? What is your height, weight, or fitness level? Some people can lose up to 2.5 litres of sweat per hour, while others might stop at something like 500ml. There are a lot of variables involved, so, for the sake of simplicity, I will simply talk about my experience.

Since it has a higher level of Sodium than other types of isotonic drinks, Pickle Juice, for me, has a more immediate effect than sports drinks like Gatorade, for example. The first thing I notice after drinking is a relief of muscle cramps. They don’t disappear completely; that’s true, but they get less intense, and the active cramps after a few minutes basically transform into mild soreness.

It Then Continues

After around ten to fifteen minutes, I usually also experience some cognitive improvements. My energy levels increase, brain fog is lifted, and exhaustion is resolved. Plus, after this time, my thirst usually gets resolved. But that’s just me. My friend for example, who also uses Pickle Juice for after-gym care, also told me he feels a boost of concentration just after drinking it, that he cannot reproduce with other electrolyte beverages.

Pickle Juice is different from other electrolyte supplements on the market, but it is exceptionally efficient at what it claims to do. It’s USDA-organic certified, and it’s also affordable, so it can be a solution even if money is tight and you are looking for a supplement that combines efficiency with cost-convenience.
