## About
Fast Pickle is a sports hydration brand built around real concentrated pickle brine. Each 3oz shot delivers 570mg sodium plus naturally-occurring potassium and acetic acid — an intentionally hypertonic formula designed to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat. No added sugar, no artificial colors, no powder to mix. Athletes have used pickle brine for decades in their hydration and recovery routines; Fast Pickle packages that practice in a portable, consistent, ready-to-drink format.
The brand also operates the Cramp Crusaders community — a run club and content program focused on hydration education for endurance athletes and active adults.
