No Jet Lag!
My travel writer friend, Carla Marie Rupp, flew from New York to Spain and tested SpectraSpray’s Sleep Spray. It contains melatonin, the amino acid L-theanine and the herb 5HTP. How was it? “I felt really good, watched a few movies, ate a meal and napped a bit. The next day I felt normal — I didn’t actually have jet leg!” she said. She later tried the Energy Spray with B12, reporting, “I felt a burst of some energy!” Product spotted at the New York Travel & Adventure Show.
