Shower Shock soap is laced with caffeine. Lathering up will provide as much caffeine as drinking two cups of coffee.
Caffeine is a powerful central nervous system stimulator that is widely used by all kinds of athletes. It triggers the release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands, which increases energy levels and prepares the body for high-intensity effort. It increases strength and power by stimulating the release of calcium in the muscle cells, which increases the contraction strength of the muscles. It also improves endurance. Until recently, caffeine was on the banned-substance list in many sports. Curiously, it is now approved for use in Olympic sports (however, it is on a watch list). The drug is relatively safe, but can cause abnormal heart rhythms and seizures at high dosages. Lather up with Shower Shock and start your day with a jolt! (Reuters, April 20, 2007)
