Other stuff about AEROSHOT

It takes a puff or two to get used to it I noticed it is better to take small puff’s rather then large puffs as the larger puffs can leave you with a bitter after taste but the smaller puff had very little to no after taste at all.

Who brought us AEROSHOT?

ABOUT DAVID EDWARDS, ARTSCIENCE LABS, AND BREATHABLE FOODS

Who created AeroShot Energy?

David Edwards, the inventor of AeroShot, is a creator, writer, and professor at Harvard University. He also leads an international creativity movement called ArtScience Labs. More information on David’s creative work can be found at www.davidideas.com.

Where did it come from? Some big company?

AeroShot is the first product from Breathable Foods, Inc. We’re not a big company—yet. It all started with a bet. One afternoon outside of Bordeaux, David Edwards was enjoying lunch at the restaurant of Chef Thierry Marx. Thierry sat down and discussed the opening of David’s cultural center in Paris, Le Laboratoire. While exploring a collaborative experiment, David, a pioneer of aerosol insulin delivery and inhaled vaccines, asked Thierry if it might be interesting to deliver food simply by puffing it into one’s mouth. Thierry was intrigued. David developed the concept with Harvard students and they first unveiled Le Whif breathable chocolate in early 2008.

So what is Breathable Foods?

Breathable Foods is an independent spinoff of ArtScience Labs that launched in 2010 and established its base in Cambridge, MA in 2011. Breathable Foods is revolutionizing the delivery of nutrients to the mouth for ingestion using novel delivery systems and remains inspired by the ArtScience Labs vision.

Then what is ArtScience Labs?

ArtScience Labs is a network of culture labs founded by Harvard Professor David Edwards that catalyze idea translation through art and design experiments at frontiers of science. ArtScience Labs explores innovation as a creative process that is neither completely aesthetic nor scientific, but a fusion of the deductive logic of scientific experimentation with the intuitive inspiration of artistic creation. With bases in Paris (Le Laboratoire) and Boston (The ArtScience Prize), ArtScience Labs has partners in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. ArtScience Labs engages through cultural experimentation with thousands of urban teens and university students around the world and has produced cultural and commercial innovations that meet the public in stores and galleries around the world. AeroShot Energy is a pure expression of this vision.

I heard about breathable chocolate once. Was that you guys?

The first commercial experiment by Breathable Foods and ArtScience Labs was Le Whif breathable chocolate. Le Whif is currently sold online and across the globe.

INGREDIENTS

What is the nutritional content?

AeroShot contains a mix of caffeine, B vitamins, sweeteners, and other ingredients: natural lime flavor, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. It does not contain the mystery chemicals found in some other energy products. Note: AeroShot may contain traces of soy and wheat.

How much caffeine is in one AeroShot?

Each AeroShot contains 100 mg of caffeine—about the same amount contained in a large cup of coffee. How much you get per puff depends on how deeply you puff into your mouth, just as with a drink it depends on how big of a gulp you take. As an estimate, we say each puff delivers approximately 15-25 mg of caffeine.

Are there any calories?

AeroShot contains zero calories.

Why does it taste so bitter?

AeroShot can taste bitter because of caffeine, which is naturally bitter. We added some sweetener to take the edge off, but left some “bite” to keep things interesting.

Is this safe?

AeroShot Energy complies with all FDA dietary supplement regulations. When used in accordance with its label, AeroShot provides a safe shot of caffeine and B vitamins for ingestion. Caffeine has been proven to offer a variety of potential benefits for healthy individuals when consumed in moderation, from providing energy to enhancing attention and focus.

Are there plans to make this in flavors other than lime?

Yes, other flavors are in the works. Let us know via Facebook and Twitter what other flavors you’d like to see.

USE / SAFETY

Will the powder go into my lungs?

AeroShot does not enter the lungs due to the large size of the particles that make up AeroShot’s powder. The powder in AeroShot reaches your mouth where it is swallowed and ingested.

How do I know it’s being ingested via my mouth into the digestive tract?

Decades of research have shown that particles above 10 microns in size do not penetrate the respiratory tract. Our powders are of a median size considerably larger than 10 microns, and therefore—as confirmed via independent laboratory studies—cannot enter the lungs. You are puffing in a powder that falls out of the air into your mouth, not your lungs, and then you swallow and ingest the powder.

What does it mean if I cough?

Simply puff more gently. If you puff into your mouth too hard particles will land at the back of your mouth and your reflex will be to cough.  If you cough, you then have a signal that you should breathe in less forcefully next time.

Does caffeine absorb into my bloodstream with this product differently than it does from a standard energy drink?

Clinical studies have shown that caffeine absorbs into the bloodstream at the same rate via the AeroShot as it does following the drinking of a popular energy drink. If there is a speed benefit to the AeroShot it is in its portability and the quickness with which you can pull it out of your pocket and puff it into your mouth.

Should certain age groups limit their consumption or abstain from using AeroShot?

People have different sensitivity to caffeine, and of course the daily consumption of AeroShot should conform to a person’s reasonable intake of caffeine. In general, children are more sensitive to caffeine than adults. This is why we do not recommend the AeroShot to caffeine-sensitive individuals, including children.

Can you put any other substance or powder in the chamber?

No, you cannot. AeroShot is specifically designed to break if someone tries to open and refill it.

A bit of powder spilled out. Is there something wrong?

Just like a soda can, if you tip it over, some of the product may spill out. However, when closed, no powder will come out of the device.

How do I know when it’s finished?

It’s finished when no more powder comes out.

Is there a limit to the number of AeroShots I can use each day?

The product should only be used consistent with its labeling. Use the same responsibility as you would with any dietary supplement or other product containing caffeine. We recommend that you do not consume more than three AeroShots per day.

Why does the packaging say I should not use this product if I am allergic to ragweed?

We include a cautionary statement because one of the sweeteners used (Stevia) may cause sensitivity in those allergic to ragweed. With that said, our product is safe for the majority of individuals, even those with occasional allergies. Not everyone who is allergic to ragweed will be allergic to Stevia, but we want to let everyone know just to be on the safe side. If you experience any side effects, we encourage you to inform us immediately.

What if I’m pregnant, have heart conditions, allergies, etc.?

As with any dietary supplement or source of caffeine, check with your doctor before using AeroShot if you have any specific health conditions or concerns.

If I am sensitive to coffee, soda, and the effects of other caffeine products can I use AeroShot?

Bottom line: If you are sensitive to any other caffeine products, you should not use AeroShot.
