Caffeine is the first ... spray in the world

Many people rely on 1-2 cups of coffee to wake up in the morning or make them awake during the working day. However, an American chemist has now invented a quick alternative in the form of . skin spray.

US biochemist Ben Yu created the product "Sprayable Energy " and declared it the world's first caffeine-based spraying energy. According to Yu, users can spray caffeine on their skin without experiencing a sense of excitement, absorbing unnecessary calories or being affected by unpleasant aftertaste such as using energy drinks or the coffee.

Yu's product advertising website says the product "can be used in a few seconds, doesn't make you fall", is easier to use than existing products and doesn't contain mysterious components ". Mr. Yu and his business partner - Deven Soni are raising funds for their spray caffeine products on the Indiegogo website and have now received grants that exceed their initial $ 15,000 target.

This patented form of caffeine is actually an odorless liquid, absorbed through the skin and distributed throughout the body for hours to create a "kick" of caffeine, which seems to work. longer than sipping a cup of coffee.

Each Sprayable Energy bottle is small, has an aluminum case that contains enough liquid for 160 sprays, equivalent to the amount of caffeine in 40 cups of coffee. Producers insist, using this product is a way to utilize energy from caffeine much cheaper than "hawking" in cafes.

Yu biochemist revealed on Inc. magazine. Magazine about the process he came up with the idea of ​​creating an alternative to coffee. He studied nicotine patches and asked his father - a doctor of chemistry - to help learn how to make caffeine easily absorbed.

The only active ingredient in Sprayable Energy product is caffeine. Yu's parents discovered that the substance could naturally enter the human body through the skin, by penetrating cell membranes because of the nicotine-like structure.

The two scientists also found that, because caffeine is not readily soluble in water, it is difficult to transmit enough stimulants in a spray to create a large enough effect. After months of research, they discovered that it was possible to increase caffeine solubility by five times using tyrosine, a simple derivative of a naturally occurring amino acid.

The breakthrough "opened new perspectives on energy efficiency without restrictions and side effects," Yu said. Each spray from a Sprayable Energy spray contains about a quarter of the caffeine in a cup of coffee, but works just as well as a full cup of coffee.

The inventors explain: "The reason for this is that our products do not need to be digested and are not completely metabolized by the liver before entering your system and available to the body. ".

The advertising website for Sprayable Energy recommends that people use this product as a way to spray regular perfume, which can be sprayed on the neck or wrist.
