The "terrible" tasting drink tells the body not to cramp up, which Dr Mayur Ranchordas from the Sheffield university says is why it's becoming popular with sports people.

"It triggers a reflex in the mouth which sends a signal to stop muscles from cramping", according to Dr Ranchordas.

"That's why it is drank at the onset of cramp. It stops cramping 40% faster than drinking water."

Dr Ranchordas says it is particularly effective as a treatment for cramps in warmer conditions or when sporting occasions last longer than anticipated - be it a five-set tennis match or in extra time of a football game.
