Safety and warnings
Several warnings are included on the packaging of Spike Shooter.[1] The label advises that people under the age of 18, the elderly, and pregnant women should not use the product. It also warns against combining the product with any prescription or over-the-counter medications, other stimulants or fat loss products, or using the product while being treated for any of a list of medical conditions such as psychiatric diseases, high blood pressure and asthma. Users are advised to start with just half a can to determine tolerance at first, and to never drink more than one can per day.
It was made available in pill-form before being marketed as a ready to drink "High Speed Energy Drink". In addition to the original flavor, "'Quila Lime" as well as a new "Orange Gold" are now available in both the Shooter size (8.4 oz) and the larger, 16 oz. Shotgun size. The recently introduced "Lemon Slice" replaces the "'Quila Lime" flavor for the Shotgun and Doubleshot variants.
Spike shooters contain 300 mg of caffeine per 8.4 oz. can.[2]
Spike Shotgun's energy formula is of a reduced concentration and replaces the yohimbe with Beta-alanine. A concentrated version of this formula is available in the Spike Double Shot, a 4.26 oz. energy shot.
