Shower Shock SoapAs our lives become evermore hectic one cannot have failed to notice the increasing availability of products which are designed specifically to keep us alert and active for longer periods of time.

From caffeine tablets to high energy drinks, it seems that many of us are turning to products that offer us a boost during the day, whether at work or play.

Now, if popping caffeine tablets and guzzling back taurine drinks isn’t enough you can even start your day with a specially formulated caffeine enriched soap, known as Shower Shock, offering 200 milligrams of caffeine per wash (based on average usage). By way of comparison, the average cup of filtered coffee contains 100mg caffeine per small cup.

To put this into perspective, the average person already consumes more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day from products such as coffee and chocolate. Washing with this soap in the morning would therefore almost double a standard individual’s consumption of caffeine.

Known medically as trimethylxanthine, caffeine is a cardiac stimulant as well as mild diuretic (i.e., increases urine production) and is known to be addictive in nature on account of the fact that it works in the same fashion as cocaine and heroin. In essence, caffeine works by increasing neuron activity in the brain which, courtesy of the pituitary gland, tricks the brain into thinking that an emergency must be occurring. The brain reacts by producing adrenaline.

The physical manifestations of caffeine include dilated pupils, constricted blood vessels and increased heart rate – resulting in increased blood pressure. Long term effects include fatigue and depression.
