Exercisers Get Workout Boost From New Hot Pepper Nasal Spray
The world's first (capsaicin) pepper based nasal spray is becoming a fast favorite among the workout crowd. Aside from it's ability to fight sinusitis and headaches, capsaicin is also known to release powerful endorphins giving users a burst of energy, and a feeling of well being.
Albany, NY (PRWEB) January 27 2004 -- Do you ever have trouble getting
motivated for a good workout? Do you sometimes feel like you need a burst of
energy? Your prayers may have been answered thanks to a new all natural nasal
spray that's fast becoming a favorite among die-hard gym goers. It's the world's
first nasal spray made with (capsaicin) natural hot pepper extract. Aside from
fighting chronic sinusitis and headaches, many users credit The Sinus Buster
nasal spray for giving them a lasting burst of energy.
The "workout
crowd" may truly be onto something since clinical studies show ingesting
capsaicin releases powerful endorphins thus giving the user a burst of energy
accompanied by a feeling of well being. Endorphins are natural drugs produced by
our own bodies, and they're considered more powerful than morphine. In the case
of hot peppers, the high is non-hallucinogenic, but people who crave spicy foods
are usually hooked on the endorphins as much as the taste.
According to
Dr. Frank Etscorn of New Mexico University (who also holds the first patent on
the nicotene patch), "Endorphins are released into our brain when we eat hot
peppers. Like other psychotropics including peyote, coca, and marijuana, chile
peppers alter our state of consciousness. Many of us crave hot spicy foods, and
we may even get slightly strung out, but it's no big deal," he says.
This
explains the psychology of hot pepper eaters who thrive on the strong
stimulation. They crave the combination of pleasure and pain that brings on a
higher state of consciousness. The endorphins and other physical sensations that
flood the brain when a chile addict bites into a hot pepper instantly overwhelms
the senses. This phenomenon has been described by doctors as a "rush."
Now consider what happens when someone ingests the essence of a pepper
through their nose. It's an instant rush far beyond that of eating the hottest
jalapenos, and it's this rush that has workout fanatics using The Sinus Buster
pepper nasal spray as part of their workout regimen. Whether it's running,
weight lifting, or team sports, sinus buster users are finding a big burst of
energy packed in a powerful little bottle.
"I started taking the sinus
buster spray for chronic allergies and it helped me alot...especially with my
sinus headaches. But the one thing I really noticed about the spray is that
burst of energy you feel when you use it. So now I use it before I work out. I
take a few squirts before I go running. It really wakes me up and keeps me
going," says Jim Morton, 36, of Yonkers, New York.
Alex Benua, a 20
something gym goer from Chicago adds, "I know a few people using it at my gym.
It's great to take a snort right before you lift weights or run on the
treadmill, and it keeps your sinus pefectly clear. That's a big plus because the
easier you can breathe, the better your performance."
According to Sicap
Industries, makers of The Sinus Buster pepper nasal spray, they have hundreds of
customers who use it faithfully before every workout.
"We first started
hearing about this from soldiers in Iraq using our spray to fight sinusitis and
allergies due to the dry dusty climate. Some of the guys emailed us claiming the
spray also helped wake them up with a burst of energy, especially during long
days of hiking around in the dry heat. And during the past couple months, we've
been hearing from tons of ordinary people who bring our spray to the gym for
their workouts," says Bob Haines, Director of Marketing for SiCap Industries.
But what about the burn -- can you hurt yourself with hot peppers?
Definitely not, according to the United States Dispensatory. Their documents
describe capsaicin as, "A local stimulant that differs from other irritants in
producing practically no reddening of the skin even where there is a very severe
sensation. So while it has a pronounced irritant effect on the endings of the
sensatory nerves, it has little effect upon capillary or other blood vessels.
Therefore it does not cause blistering, even in high
concentrations".
"The burning sensation you feel from a hot pepper is
actually not a burn. It's really a chemical reaction caused by the natural
chemical inside the peppers, capsaicin. It's that natural chemical reaction that
allows our spray to fight headaches and sinus congestion. We use a unique
combination of aloe vera gel, purified water, and essential oils to create a
capsaicin formula that's easy to take and extremely effective. When the special
pepper extract in our spray enters your sinus cavity, the reaction causes
inflammed nerve endings to shrink. So it stops pain and swelling fast. The fact
that it releases endorphins is just an added benefit -- one that our customers
love. Medicinal pepper remedies are here to stay," says Wayne Perry, inventor of
The Sinus Buster.
In fact, hot peppers have been used medicinally for
thousands of years. The Mayans and other Indian cultures used hot peppers as
pain killers, as expectorants for respiratory problems, and to relieve nasal
congestion. Aside from helping the digestion process, hot peppers are also
effective in dissolving blood clots, and they're a better source of Vitamin C
and A than most other fruits and vegetables.
By formulating natural
capsaicin in a nasal spray, SiCap Industries has brought the medicinal power of
hot peppers "full circle" with a product that instantly and safely introduces
capsaicin into the user's system. This is exactly the "rush" athletes crave to
help boost performance.
"An army friend of my husband's turned me onto it
because I have alot of sinus trouble. I haven't had a single sinus infection
since I started using the sinus buster regularly, and it really helps me when I
do my cardio workout. When you take a shot of this stuff it really wakes you up
and it focuses me. It's got a good bite to it, but not a burn. It's actually
healed my nasal passages from damage caused by all the steroid nasal sprays I
used for my sinus problems over the years. And it clears me out like nothing
else. I never felt better." says Marge Dunlap, an army wife and mother of two
from Charlotte, North Carolina.
So the next time you need a quick "pick
me up", try a couple squirts of The Sinus Buster and run to your nearest gym.
After all, a pepper a day keeps the laziness away, or something like
that.
