The dill on pickle juice
Athletes like it because...
Professional, college and high school football teams are beginning to clamor for pickle juice for their players as a way to stave off muscle cramps. Mr. Crisp opines that the salt content, along with the acetic acid (vinegar), in pickle juice make it attractive to athletic trainers and players.
Pickle juice contains salt, calcium chloride and vinegar, in addition to flavorings (dill, bread & butter, etc). The basic ingredients are similar to what you would find in isotonic drinks. Where pickle juice has acetic acid, isotonic drinks contain citric acid.
