Could Soothe Muscle Cramps
Experiencing muscle cramps during a workout or taking part in competitive sports can be both painful and frustrating. It is believed the problem is down to the nervous system's communication with the muscles. The nerves tell the muscle when to contract. When muscles tire, sustained contractions can occur, resulting in cramps.3‘Does Pickle Juice Relieve Muscle Cramps?’ - Cooper Institute.

Pickle juice may help relieve muscle cramps due to the vinegar it contains, which may suppress the associated pain. Vinegar may also halt the nerve signals that cause the fatigued muscle to cramp.
