You can make it up yourself

or you can buy it ready made from the spice section.

Pickle juice has become a favored recovery beverage (in the same way as Gatorade) by athletes, particularly football players. I buy Famous Dave's Sweet & Spicy pickle chips at Costco, and have been known to drink the juice on occasion.

One of the key ingredients in pickles is vinegar. My mom always used apple cider vinegar for pickles, and soaked the cukes in vinegar as the first step before adding spices. So I wonder if the vinegar contributes to effects; I'd wager it does.

I have read that the mustard works because it is full of turmeric, which is what makes it yellow. This makes me wonder if those turmeric capsules would help.
