Great for this runner
The stuff works for my cramps better than anything else. I am a long distance runner and I use is just as a cramp is starting whether on the drive home from a race, or that night in bed.Update June 17, 2016 I have never updated one of my reviews before, but I am making an exception here. I have been using this product for two months now and it is fantastic. I have used it during and after a long run and in the middle of the night. It has taken away my leg cramps every time. Once at mile 22 of a run my hands were cramping up, so I asked a kind man on the porch of a house I was passing to pull the bottle from my hydration pack pocket and open it for me. He did, keeping his lit cigarette lit the whole time. Worked for the hands as well.I have also been refilling these little bottles with pickle juice from jars of pickles from the grocery store. I think it works just as well, but for long races, I will certainly use new unopened bottles. I don't want to take any chances there.Update: July 30, 2017 I continue to use this product with wonderful results. It immediately takes away muscle cramps in my calfs. It has yet to fail me with cramps in my legs or even my feet. The only time I did not get relief was when I had cramps in my fingers after a very long and hard race. For that I squeezed a soft ball about two inches in diameter, which got me through the drive home. I have stopped refilling my bottles, but I think it is still a viable option.

WARNING: This Product No Longer Works!!!
Pickle Juice shots do not work anymore, and I think they have changed the formula.I have been using these convenient pickle juice shots for a couple of years for severe Charlie horse or leg cramps. It was inconvenient to carry a jar of pickle juice with me, but I did because it works. ( pickle juice is effective for cramps based on studied at Harvard and BYU.)After drinking these Pickle Juice shots straight, the cramp would be gone within seconds. I didn't have a cramp, but my legs were aching, and I used a shot bottle from ther newest order, and I immediately noticed it tasted different to me- like pure vinegar. Yesterday, I got a severe cramp with the curling back of my toes. Usually, drinking Pickle Juicer shots would work within seconds. This time, nothing happened. I was still cramping and in pain. I made my way to the pantry, quickly opened a jar of pickle juice, and the cramp/curling of my toes disappeared within seconds.This is NOT the same as real pickle juice/brine. It may be some diluted form, but the proof is in a jar of pickles. Why can't someone bottle real pickle juice???!!!b

Buy these elsewhere
Opened the box to this. Bought this for my football players who cramp. One bottle was unopened with the seal unbroken, but the pickle juice was not in the container. At least the other 11 were full. Unfortunately cant return because this was a product I needed for tomorrow, but highly upset that the box was torn open and 1 empty container. Somebody put it in the box like that.

Excellent for leg cramps.
Excellent for leg cramps. I have had problems with Night time leg cramps for years. I keep one of these next to my bed and if a cramp starts, this knocks it out immediately. No getting up, no waste, just back to comfortable sleep.

It did work immediately! But for a short period of time...
It did work immediately! But for a short period of time. I am a person who gets cramps a lot and I make sure I take every precaution to prepare myself to prevent cramps. Before this particular ride I ate 2 bananas, a English muffin, an egg, a piece of cheese, and a serving of pre workout drink. During the ride I had a total of 5 liters of water with endurance fuel, a PB&J sandwich, sports gummies and salt tablets. During the this ride, I started to feel a cramp coming on after taking all preventative measures while cycling up a steep grade, so I stopped and wanted to see if this stuff worked. I took the shot and within 30 seconds the feeling went away and I gained an extra boost to make it up the grade almost with ease. I was shocked and impressed. But after 20 minutes, while on my way back home and climbing one more smaller grade, both legs fully cramped up at the same time with crazy intensity! I had to hop off my bike and I was in sever pain. Is this because of user error of how I took this product? Am I suppose to take multiple shots during my 4 hours ride? I do not know what else to take or do to not get cramps :(

Did Not Work
Can't say it worked for me. I solved, or rather the doctor solved my problem, with powder magnisium I take at night when I feel dehydrated. Doctor said cramps don't happen for everybody and there is usually always a reason. I bought Pure Encapsulations - Magnesium EasySticks on Amazon and they have cured a terrible cramp problem that went on for years. I was not absorbing magnesium and these taken on back of my tongue solved the problem.

Worked well for a chronic cramp sufferer
Even when I'm at my best shape I just seem to really sweat during prolonged physical endeavors, so much that I am susceptible to cramps afterwards especially in bed. For me, sports drinks like Gatorade don't really seem to work. I found through research that pickle juice was a good treatment and so found the bottled Pickle Juice Extra as a convenient way to carry it. After a backpack trip this week to Maine where the temps were in the high 80's, I found that this stuff works very well in the field. For a 12 hour really hot and sweaty hike I drank 3 of these shots and did not suffer any cramps during or after. I am going to regularly order this and drink a shot instead of the normal sports drinks I used to use after any exercise over a couple hours.

The best thing since sliced bread.
This is the best thing I have found since sliced bread. I have suffered from leg cramps and toe cramps at night for years. I store my in the frig, as I like it cold better. They work within 5 minutes. And my leg cramps are sometime really intense that you can actually see the indentation. I like the fact there are no carbs as I am a type II diabetic. I also work out at the gym with my trainer, and she has a couple of bottles in her drawer for me in case I start to cramp up. They might not be for everyone, you do need to like pickle juice, which I do.

Good product, very chemically tasting
Weird taste- like chemicals. Does help restore my electrolytes and make me feel better but I can’t drink much of it because of the weird taste

Pretty good!
It's good to know I'm drinking pickle juice with no calories! Doesn't quite taste as good as dill pickle juice from the jar but it's a good alternative.Shake the bottle first! It appeared a piece of their machinery/pour spout, fell into one of the pickle juice shots. I contacted the company and they sent me out another, order. They were very apologetic.

Amazing results for my leg cramps
I was told that I should try pickle juice for my leg cramps and was so surprised to see that Amazon carried it. It works within minutes to ease the pain and the portion size is just perfect. I like the taste much better than drinking the juice from my pickle jar!!
