Advantages: Gives you a boost

Disadvantages: Shaky hands, Disturbed sleep

Pro Plus tablets come in a friendly little box that doesn't really tell you much at all.

The back of the box tells you "PRO PLUS contains caffeine, a stimulant which can help maintain mental alertness and make you feel less tired." Sounds great.

Dosage is 1 to 2 tablets as required, but not exceeding two tablets in any one hour, or 12 tablets in 24 hours.

Each tablet contains the active ingredient: 50 mg Caffeine Anhydrous Ph. Eur. Also contains sorbitol and magnesium stearate. Fascinating isn't it?

This is what the box doesn't tell you.

Caffeine is classified as a central nervous system stimulant. It causes increased alertness, it stimulates cardiac muscle and respiratory system and is also diuretic. Caffeine can also disturb your sleeping pattern.

It doesn't sound quite so good now does it? But despite the fact I know this I still use Pro Plus.

As long as you take them in moderation they're okay. However, I wouldn't recommend taking them every day. Caffeine is an addictive drug. And although the box says you can take up to 12 in 24 hours, I don't think that's a good idea either.

I took about 8 one day and it resulted in me feeling terrible the next day.

In small doses Pro Plus are fine. You get the boost you wanted and can carry on with your busy life.

Too many Pro Plus and you're in shaky hand land, unable to sit still or talk to people without jabbering like an insane rabbit on speed.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
