These cheap frozen treats may be the maddest way we've ever seen to avoid muscle cramps, but they are on sale for Amazon Prime Day if you're crazy enough to try them
Briefly

Electrolyte needs for athletes are highlighted during a current heatwave and an Amazon Prime Day event. Popular electrolyte products include Styrkr tablets, effective for convenience on rides. A unique discovery includes dill pickle freeze pops, made from frozen dill pickle brine, which claim to prevent muscle cramps. Although the enjoyment of warm pickle brine is questionable, these pops provide interesting nutrition solutions. The use of frozen nutrition is acknowledged, with past examples like frozen energy gels noted. Making homemade pickle pops is suggested as an alternative for those unable to find them in the UK.
Dill pickle freeze pops are simply frozen dill pickle brine, claiming to help "prevent and treat muscle cramps" while also providing a way to cool down during heat.
Single-serving pickles are seen at long endurance races for a quick hit of salts, but the convenience of electrolyte tablets like Styrkr is hard to beat.
