Safety Shot Launches Revolutionary On-the-Go Stick Packs, Poised to Disrupt the $2 Billion Wellness Market

JUPITER, Fla., January 03, 2025 /Globe Newswire/ — Safety Shot, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOT) (the “Company”) today announced a breakthrough in convenient wellness solutions with the launch of its Sure Shot On-the-Go Powder Stick Packs. This innovative format delivers the world’s first alcohol-reducing product in a convenient and portable form, poised to disrupt the rapidly growing wellness market which is projected to exceed $2 billion by 2033.

Following successful trials demonstrating marked improvement in blood alcohol reduction, Safety Shot’s clinically-backed, patented formula is now available in convenient on-the-go stick packs. Featuring two delicious flavors, the original Citrus Splash and a new Berry Blast, Sure Shot Stick Packs are available immediately online, with plans to launch on Amazon by mid-Q1 and in retail stores in Q2.

“Our dedicated R&D team and manufacturing partners have worked tirelessly to create two great flavors that perfectly complement our powerful ingredients,” says David Sandler, COO and Co-Inventor of Safety Shot. “We’ve successfully captured the clinically proven, patented Sure Shot formula in a convenient stick pack format. This is a testament to our commitment to continuous innovation and delivering exceptional wellness solutions.”

Sure Shot: The World’s First Clinically Proven Alcohol-Reducing Product

Sure Shot, the world’s first clinically proven alcohol-reducing product, is now available in a convenient and eco-friendly stick pack format. Formulated with a blend of electrolytes, antioxidants, and natural extracts, Sure Shot supports alcohol metabolism and promotes overall wellness. The stick packs offer precise dosing, ultimate portability, and can be easily added to any beverage or consumed directly.

Benefits of Sure Shot Stick Packs:

Stick packs offer numerous advantages. In addition to being incredibly convenient, they allow for precise dosing, ensuring consumers can easily mix the powder with their preferred beverage for a personalized experience. Moreover, the sealed stick packs ensure product freshness and a consistent, reliable dosage. Their compact size allows for easy transport and consumption anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, stick packs offer a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional bottles or cans, with less packaging waste and a lower carbon footprint. Finally, the stick packs can be easily added to various beverages or consumed directly, providing maximum flexibility for consumers.

“Powder stick packs are the perfect solution for people on the move,” stated CEO Jarrett Boon. “Sure Shot lowers your blood alcohol and makes you feel better in as little as 30 minutes. We believe there is no other product like it anywhere, and now we’ve made it even more accessible for both our retail partners and consumers. We believe that this new format will significantly broaden our customer base and continue to help mitigate the negative consequences of alcohol consumption.”

Positive Impact on the Balance Sheet

The introduction of stick packs is expected to have a positive impact on Safety Shot’s balance sheet due to lower production costs and increased efficiency. This strategic move aligns with the Company’s commitment to enhancing shareholder value through innovation and operational excellence.

Expanding into a Growing Market

The global wellness market is projected to exceed $2 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. This rapid growth, as reported by Grand View Research and Precedence Research, is driven by increasing consumer demand for convenient, portable, and sustainable packaging solutions. Safety Shot is strategically positioned to capitalize on this trend with its innovative Sure Shot stick packs, targeting health-conscious individuals, travelers, athletes, and anyone seeking a convenient way to support their wellness goals.

“This is an exciting step forward for Safety Shot,” concluded CEO Jarrett Boon. “We are committed to delivering innovative wellness solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
