Drug Store News: What is AeroShot?
Tom Hadfield: AeroShot Energy is a revolutionary new way to get your energy. It’s an air-based boost of energy, an aerosol delivery of 100 mg of caffeine, about the same as a large cup of coffee, plus a mix of B vitamins. ... The core advantage for us is it’s a very quick and highly convenient way to get your energy. It’s a patented system that’s quick to use, but it’s also quick to take effect, so it’s energy right when you need it.
