Your nerves are what trigger muscle cramps and lingering soreness during or post-exercise. It’s not dehydration or electrolyte-imbalance. HOTSHOT was created to quickly target these nerves to prevent or stop an active cramp and reduce next-day muscle soreness.
It's A Battle of Nerves
Invented by an Endurance Athlete/ Nobel Prize-Winning Neuroscientist
Necessity is the mother of invention. Despite being hydrated and having good nutrition, our founders were hit with severe muscle cramps during a deep-sea kayaking trip. The experience drove them to search out the truth among the cramping myths… and the 1.7oz sports shot was born. HOTSHOT is the first and only scientifically proven way to prevent muscle cramps and aid in reducing muscle soreness. Learn how it works.
Fight Fire with Fire
It’s all in the heat. Our proprietary blend of all-natural ginger, cinnamon and capsaicin deliver a spicy shot to your nervous system to attack muscle cramping and soreness.
The Kick is How it Works
Muscle cramps and soreness start when your nerves become hyper-excited and blast your tired muscles with repetitive, uncontrollable signals.
Drinking a 1.7 oz HOTSHOT Sports Shot starts to work by triggering the sensory nerves located in your mouth and esophagus.
Those stimulated nerves then send a calming signal to your spinal cord.
The signals inhibit the repetitive firing of hyperactive nerves into your muscles — to quickly stop muscle cramps and reduce next-day muscle soreness.
Through Division 1 rowing to training full time, HOTSHOT has been a key part of my pre-race and cross-training routine to prevent cramps.
