Sinus Buster Hot Pepper Nasal Spray Announces New Metered Dose Bottles
Barely a year ago, most people would have laughed at the thought of putting hot pepper up their noses, but today there are thousands of faithful “pepperheads” claiming they’ve discovered the cure for what ailes them. It’s all thanks to “Sinus Buster,” the world’s first hot pepper nasal spray that’s being praised by medical experts as a true breakthrough in fighting chronic sinus and headache symptoms. Today, SiCap Industries, makers of Sinus Buster, announced their long awaited “metered dose bottle” just in time for the upcoming sinus, cold, and flu season. SiCap officials say the new bottle is easier to use, and lessens the expected “pepper bite” by delivering a carefully metered dosage of capsaicin, the active ingredient in Sinus Buster’s hot pepper formula.
Altamont, NY (PRWEB) September 2, 2004 –-
Barely one year ago, a
small company known as SiCap Industries, introduced the world’s first hot pepper
nasal spray, “The Sinus Buster”. In those early days, Sinus Buster pepper nasal
spray sparked a lot of skepticism, but today SiCap’s innovative spray is being
praised by medical experts as a true breakthrough in fighting chronic sinus,
allergy, and headache symptoms.
Today, SiCap Industries announced their
long awaited “metered dose bottle” just in time for the upcoming fall allergy
season. SiCap officials say the new bottle is easier to use, and it lessens the
initial “pepper bite” associated with Capsaicin (the active ingredient in Sinus
Buster’s hot pepper extract). The new bottle does this by delivering a carefully
metered dose in a super fine mist pattern that spreads evenly throughout the
nasal cavity.
“We’re very excited about the new bottle because a lot of
doctors have requested this. I have to point out -- we’re not going to stop
selling the original bottle at all because it’s still very necessary for some
people who have severe sinus infections and full blown headache attacks. The new
metered dose bottle has shown in our own informal studies that it may be more
effective as a preventative tool, and it’s really effective on chronic allergy
symptoms. But the other exciting thing is it appears to be an excellent
preventative against chronic sinus infections. We've found that with capsaicin,
you still need the original stream bottle to blast out a severe bout of
sinusitis, but the metered bottle appears to help prevent the infections from
coming in the small group of users we monitored,” says Wayne Perry, president of
SiCap Industries.
The new metered dose applicator is an important move
for the fledgling company because it puts them on the same playing field as some
of the biggest names in sinus and cold care, but unlike those products, Sinus
Buster is an all natural supplement, and SiCap officials say the metered dose
bottle is the perfect delivery system for their exclusive hot pepper
formula.
"The new bottle automatically increases the shelf life and user
friendliness of our formula. It also gives us a chance to pursue our eventual
goal of rolling into major chain stores and directly competing on the front
lines of the sinus, allergy, and headache market," adds Perry.
SiCap
officials also point out the new bottle is easier to use for many people since
the doses are automatically regulated (.132CC of formula); each time you pull
the trigger. Many long time Sinus Buster users who were lucky enough to test the
'new metered' bottle have already decided it’s a big winner. Although part of
the Sinus Buster's charm is its' famous "bite", the new bottle allows users to
ingest very tolerable controlled doses, but make no mistake -- the famous Sinus
Buster bite is still there.
SiCap officials say the new bottle may have
a greater "broad appeal" to consumers than the original bottle, and it's surely
going to capture the sinus, allergy, and headache industry, but Wayne Perry
warns the new bottle isn’t for everyone. He says the metered bottle and the
stream spray bottle are equally effective, yet each bottle may be better suited
for certain chronic conditions in certain individuals.
“I’ve found with
my own personal use that the metered bottle works really great for controlling
my daily allergy related sinus problems, and it seems to be more of a
preventative for my cluster headaches, but when conditions are right and I get
caught with a fast oncoming full blown cluster attack, I still have to use a
blast of the original bottle. So now I carry both. I use the metered bottle for
daily prevention, and when my headache triggers are just too strong like when I
drink too much or spend a lot of time in extreme hot humid conditions, I have
the original bottle to thoroughly flush out the pain. The greatest thing for me
with the new bottle is the fact that it has all but stopped my snoring at night,
and believe me – my family is thankful for that if nothing else,” adds Perry
with a grin.
The Sinus Buster formula has long been thought of as an
excellent snoring remedy when taken in each nostril just before bed, but
recently, several well known sleep clinics have begun pilot studies that may
prove Sinus Buster to be a potential breakthrough in the prevention of snoring
related Sleep Apnea. Indeed SiCap Industries claims they have dozens of
customers who claim the Sinus Buster formula has decreased their snoring and
bouts of Sleep Apnea.
“We have definitely had a lot of customers who
claim their husband’s or wife’s snoring drove them crazy until they found the
Sinus Buster. And we have several customers who claim it’s actually stopped
their sleep apnea symptoms. One lady did a testimonial for us, and her husband
got on the phone and thanked us because he could finally get a good night's
sleep. His wife had no sense of smell for most of her adult life due to sinus
problems, but after she used the sinus buster, it gave her back her sense of
smell within the first week. Then her husband realized it also stopped her
nightly sleep apnea attacks and chronic snoring. Now I’m not sure where this
whole sleep apnea thing will pan out, but we do have several very well respected
doctors testing sinus buster to combat the disorder. I do know it stops my
snoring for most people – especially the "new metered" bottle. The doctors we
have are testing the original bottle since the new one wasn’t available at that
time, but now I think this new bottle holds great promise in combating the
symptoms of sleep apnea, and especially snoring,” adds Perry.
Steve
Fellows, webmaster of (pepperhealth.com), a website dedicated to “everything
peppers” says the new metered dose Sinus Buster bottle is quite impressive, and
he believes it will be a big seller for Scup, but he also says there’s a huge
market for the original bottle – especially for the “pepper heads” out there.
Fellows was one of the “lucky few” who got to test the new bottle before it was
officially introduced to market.
“I really like the metered bottle
especially for people who have daily allergy problems, and for a quick pick me
up that’s not too strong. Some people are afraid of the all out bite you get
from the original bottle because it takes a little finesse to learn how to use
it without getting a big burst each time, but of course most of us “pepper
heads” want that big burst. That’s why I know even though the new bottle will be
king, the original stream bottle will continue to be a huge seller because there
are millions of pepperheads out there who crave the rush of that pepper. When
you take a shot of the original stream bottle, you can really blast away any
headache immediately, and for us “pepper heads” it gives us a total rush -- a
burst of energy. A lot of people love that. I like to use the new bottle before
I go to bed, but when I get up in the morning it’s that blast from the original
bottle that gets me going faster than a cup of coffee,” says Fellows.
The
rush Steve Fellows refers to is a “natural high of sorts” associated with the
release of endorphins triggered by the ingestion of Capsaicin. This is the same
rush felt by people who crave spicy foods – the sweating, the burst of energy,
and the feeling of well being are all brought on by the release of endorphins
initiated by the active ingredients in hot peppers.
“We have tons of
customers who use the sinus buster every time they workout because it produces
an almost instant runner’s high. It really wakes you up for a workout and it
kind of motivates you. I still need my coffee in the morning, but now I need my
sinus buster too. The new bottle is great with your morning coffee. Our Sinus
Buster formula is an incredible daily supplement, and it’s totally safe to use
anytime. Now with the new bottle we have something for everyone,” says Bob
Haines, VP of Manufacturing for SiCap Industries.
Now that SiCap has
successfully launched their metered dose bottle, company officials admit the new
bottle almost never happened. It was only by a stroke of luck after being
profiled in The Wall Street Journal that SiCap was able to locate manufacturers
willing to work with such a small company without requiring huge order
contracts.
“We had searched for months to find a manufacturer willing to
work with a small company such as ours. Our supplier for the original bottle
didn’t make a metered bottle to match our needs, and all we could find was
inferior products and fly by night operations that we knew could never supply us
with what we needed. Then we were profiled in the Wall Street Journal, and
suddenly we had the new bottle manufacturer in place. Suddenly companies were
willing to take a shot with us because they realized that one day we'll be their
biggest bottle buyer. I've gotta say Journal really gave us a nice boost in
sales and credibility, and now we’re getting tons of repeat customers who
originally bought sinus buster after they read the Wall Street Journal article.
Once people buy it, they realize almost immediately that this stuff works, and
it works well beyond any of the hype you hear in the media. There’s no doubt
that sinus buster nasal spray is a breakthrough. Nothing will stop a headache
faster, and nothing will blast out a sinus infection the way the buster does,
and now we have two bottles that offer every consumer a way to get the medicinal
power of capsaicin into their lives, exclaims Perry.
