Will PiCKiE prevent muscle cramps?

PiCKiE has not been clinically proven to prevent or treat muscle cramps. Studies of other pickle juice preparations do not establish that benefit for this bottle. Our guide to the cramp evidence explains what the research does show.

Should it replace all of my water or sports drinks?

Choose your drinks around the activity you are doing, along with your total fluid, food, and carbohydrate needs. PiCKiE offers a savory option within that routine. If you follow a sodium-restricted diet, include its 660mg sodium per bottle in that decision.

Does 2,000 mg+ mean 2,000 mg of sodium?

No. The combined figure includes sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. The current label lists 660 mg of sodium in a 12 oz bottle.
