Claims74
A composition, wherein at least 90 percent of said composition comprises an acid and a carbonate, wherein said composition releases CO2 for a mammal to inhale once said composition is placed within a cup with liquid.
A capsule device for delivering CO2 to a mammal, wherein said capsule device comprises a liquid compartment for housing a liquid, a solid compartment for housing a solid, an actuator configured to allow said liquid, when present in said liquid compartment, to contact said solid, when present in said solid compartment, upon actuation, and a mouthpiece portion, wherein said contact of said liquid, when present, with said solid, when present, releases CO2 for said mammal to inhale through said mouthpiece.
A method for delivering CO2 to a mammal, wherein said method comprises placing a composition into a container with a liquid, wherein at least 90 percent of said composition comprises an acid and a carbonate, wherein, upon contact with said liquid, said composition releases CO2 for said mammal to inhale from said container, thereby providing said mammal with CO2.
