“Pickle juice is king”.
Hmmm... did you use to play football? I have heard pickle juice from several coaches as a sure bet for cramping during a game. I also have used Tonic Water. It doesn’t taste great but will stop a muscle cramp.
back in the day....Football, Now Avid Cyclist. (You know one of those guys in spandex FR love to hate.:) )

Tonic waters main ingredient is Quinine. Which is an effective muscle relaxant and used to treat “restles leg syndrome” and night cramps.
I like the pickle juice because a side benefit is it seems to lower body temp within seconds of ingestion.
It worked for the Eagles against the Cowboys a few years back at Texas Stadium when the temperature was over 100 degrees, the Eagles went on and whupped the Cowboys real good that day.
