FAQs
Is pickle juice the same as electrolytes?
Pickle juice products are often used as a quick option around training, but they’re not a full replacement for a consistent electrolyte routine. Many people use both depending on the situation.
Should I still use electrolytes if I use pickle juice?
For most people, yes. Electrolytes support day-to-day hydration, especially in heat and heavy sweating. Browse All Electrolytes or High Sodium.
When should I take it?
Many people use pickle juice products during or after cramp-prone sessions, or keep them as a “just in case” option during events. Follow the directions on the product listing.
What if I want a no-flavour option?
If you prefer no taste, consider electrolyte capsules or electrolyte drops.
