SAN DIEGO (BRAIN) — XEP, Inc. is introducing a skin patch designed to deliver a natural caffeine boost to athletes.
The Clean Energy Patch contains homeopathic ingredients that the company said "create a balanced 'hum' that many find preferable to the 'spike' or 'buzz' delivered by energy drinks and energy shots."
The company said the patch is a solution for athletes who have difficulty ingesting caffeine during intense workouts, due to cramps, jitters and nausea. To use, the athlete applies the adhesive patch just like kinesiology tape and wears it for up to eight hours. Removal of the patch gives immediate control over the process.
The company said the patch bypasses the sensitive digestive system, so athletes can get a flow of extra energy while avoiding unwanted side effects. The product contains zero calories and zero sugar, deriving its natural effect from plant-based xanthine sources of caffeine, guarana and cacao.
The patches are 2.25-inch x 3.5 inch with a kinesiology tape backing. It is manufactured in the United States and is designed to stick almost anywhere on the body to suit individual preference.
The patches are sold individually or in multi-packs. They retail for $2.99 per unit and are available at cleanenergypatch.com and through retailers.
