Stop Muscle Cramps and Rehydrate Naturally with Pickle Juice

Stop Muscle Cramps and Rehydrate Naturally with Pickle Juice

Athletes from around the world are ditching the chemical and sugar laden sports drinks and are opting to drink pickle juice to rehydrate, and to prevent muscle cramps from exercise. 

Pickle juice is a 100% natural, organic, gluten free, sugar free, isotonic drink and is literally made from the brine of pickled cucumbers. Pickle juice is superior to typical sports drinks as it contains 10 times the amount of electrolytes. If you find that you do experience muscular cramps after exercise or at night, some studies have shown that small amounts of this humble drink can alleviate muscle cramps instantly, within 15 to 20 seconds [1].

As well as rehydrating the body, pickle juice also contains a constituent that stops the brain signalling the muscles to cramp. When this constituent from the pickle juice comes into contact with neural receptors located at the back of the throat, it is able to switch off this cramp message, ceasing the spasm almost instantly.

If you do experience muscle cramping, the salt within pickle juice can help to alleviate them by replenishing the electrolytes lost from sweat to maintain hydration. This is because when you sweat, you excrete salts. When these salts are not replenished, muscle cramps can occur. In turn, by supplementing pickle juice before, during or after a workout or strenuous activity, recovery may be speedier, dehydration headaches, fatigue and muscle cramps can be avoided.
