[edit] 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 is a very potent energy supplement. It was made available in pill-form before marketed as a ready to drink "High Speed Energy Drink" and "Hardcore Energy". In addition to the orginal flavor, "'Quila Lime" and "Orange Gold" are now available in both the Shooter size and the larger, 16 oz. Shotgun size, which as of yet does not have a "'Quila Lime" version. Spike Shotgun's energy formula is of a reduced concentration and replaces the yohimbe with beta alinine. A concentrated version of this formula is available in the Spike Double Shot, a 2 oz. energy shot.
A popular alcoholic drink made with this is known as "The Spiker". "The Spiker" consists of one can of Spike and a shot of an alcoholic beverage, preferably Captain Morgan. "The Spiker" is known for its non-alcoholic taste and its potent effects.
