More energy -here and now!



The house I live in is an endless treasure trove. A.k.a. it's full of junk and general stuff in total chaos so I never know what might turn up when looking for something else. Okai, strictly speaking  it wasn't me who found this one. It was my mother who found it lying about in a box of books. It seems to contain some kind of tablets that promise more energy. What fun! And I have been feeling a bit tired and lazy lately. Okai, lazy is a permanent trait, but spring is in the air and I expect that the amount of stuff that needs to be done isn't exactly going to lessen from now on.

But obviously I'm not the kind of person who just try out mysterious tablets found lying about the house, so let's see what I know about them:

  • They are from Sweden. Our brethren to the east. Surely a sign of quality.
  • They are called "Chisandra Adaptogen". A reassuring name, it's immediately unrecognizable and something ending in -gen must be healthy.
  • They contain Chisandra fruits, or rather some extract called "schisandrine". Which kinda rhymes with "caffeine".
  • It also contains Russian roots. I guess there is only one kind of root in Russia.
  • Shouldn't be used by children, pregnant women or people who breastfeed. Nothing fun ever should.
  • It's coated with shellac. I know shellac is used as a wood finnish, but I guess it have other uses too.
  • Have been used by peoples of the East as a an invigorating substance, I assume that "peoples of the East" means Swedes and Russians.
  • The combination of the two substances it contain is particularly effective. This makes sense.
  • It was on sale almost ten years ago.
  • The tablets look like brown-somethings. Lumpy brown somethings. Brown means natural, natural means it can't harm me.
