Coffee spray

According to David Edwards, a biomedical engineering professor at Harvard University, we can enjoy coffee in an unusual way, which is sprayed into the mouth.

AeroShot spray simulates pharmaceuticals absorbed through the oral mucosa like aerosol. So, no matter how busy people are, coffee addicts can still 'drink' comfortably but do not need to be as sophisticated as usual.

There are three doses for a pocket AeroShot spray . The size of a lipstick, each direct injection into the mouth, the mucosa and tongue will absorb about 100 mg of caffeine (equal to the amount in a cup of tea or coffee we use every day). Sweetness in coffee is provided by stevia, which is 300 times sweeter than cane sugar but does not cause poisoning or latent cancer such as sugar and does not provide energy. Whereas vitamins PP, B6, B12 are provided with a daily requirement for one person.

According to the healthland.time.com website, Professor David Edwards had previously invented a chocolate spray called Le Whif, which he says is a "new way of eating" . He experimented on himself with different doses and flavors. Of course can not meet each individual.

According to the Food and Drug Administration's regulations, caffeine is considered a food, so AeroShot can be sold as a functional food. However, the AeroShot label is still cautious: Not for people under 12 years old, people who are allergic to caffeine, allergic to pollen, pregnant women or people with serious medical conditions . and recommend not to use more than three doses (ie an AeroShot tube) in one day.

According to Cocharne, the research data in 2010 showed that moderate doses of caffeine helped reduce the error of shift workers. It also improves memory, reasoning, awareness and attention compared to placebo.
