Runners at the Palm Beaches marathon this weekend will be greeted at the finish line with packets of pickle juice. The strong smell and taste of pickle juice makes gulping it hard for some people to tolerate. Pickle juice may trigger a reflex in the mouth that sends a signal to the nerves to stop muscles from cramping. Miller’s studies found two to three shot glasses of pickle juice will make a cramp go away faster, but it won’t necessarily replace electrolytes quickly. Along with pouches, pickle juice now comes in cans, bottles and jugs.
