What makes Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT special?

Because it's ionically bonded would this not just disassociate in solution? At the moment it seems like this is just caffeine and NALT ions floating in water and PG. Would this be any different from just taking 200mg of caffeine and 200mg of NALT respectively?
Or is there something special about the ions of the two substances?

You don't have to get angry - instead you should maybe listen to some things people are saying since it might help you better represent your product. I didn't claim that your product doesn't contain the amounts of caffeine and NALT that you state. I also understand that you don't want to divulge your process. But to say that caffeine gets an extra electron is incorrect - perhaps you meant to say extra proton? Also, they can't be ionically bonded and in solution - maybe covalently bonded? Maybe complexed together?

Yeah, sorry about that. I need to not get so worked up. I was projecting my argument with the other chemist onto you. He was the one that said it could not contain that much caffeine and NALT. I've also had a shitty week. Sorry.
I am using the term that my chemist told me to. I will have to confirm with her when I can get back into the office. Perhaps she is wrong, and ionic is not the appropriate term.
