Advantages: Herbal, Natural ingredients

Disadvantages: Taste awful if you chew them

I was sitting at my desk in work, trying to concentrate on the weekly energy log. The figures seemed to dance about on the page until, somewhere, in my sub-conscious, a door closed softly, and I slept.
I awoke with a start when my head hit the desk top with a thud! I was disorientated, confused and my whole body felt weak and heavy.

Luckily, there was no one about to witness my head banging, but I felt stupid all the same.
Falling asleep at work can have dire consequences, i.e. if you were a lorry driver you could have a crash, possibly killing or injuring yourself or some innocent passer by. If you worked with machinery you could upset production, or again, injure yourself through innattentiveness and thus lose your job.

There are several “pep-pills” on the market, “Pro-Plus” being the best known, but recently I was advised to try a newer one called “Yariba”.

Yariba is an herbal tablet, designed as a ”Pick-me-up for temporary tiredness”. The active ingredient is 250mg of kola-nut; the tablet also contains some inactive ingredients such as sodium chlorophyllin, dextrose monohydrate, sodium starch glycollate, and talc! Magnesium Stearate and ethylcellulose. (Don’t ask, I don’t know what they are either)

Kola-nut is a mild natural stimulant and is quite safe to take. There have been no known reports or recorded reactions of hypersensitivity to this, but they do recommend that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding refrain from taking Yariba.

So how did it work for me?
Well it works quite well actually. I take two tablets twice a day (Mon-Fri), Morning and lunchtime, and since I started taking them I have not nodded off at my desk once! (And that’s saying something!)
The tablets don’t make you feel any different, in fact you don’t really feel anything at all, you just seem to be able to see the working day through on an even keel w
ithout feeling drowsy.

Yariba comes in a handy 50 tablet dispenser and should be swallowed with water, although if you prefer you can chew them, (But be warned, they taste awful!).

Footnote: They don’t upset your normal sleeping pattern either, except if, for some reason, you overdose on them.
