Transcript of @shervinshares's video: The Wake Up Pill. This is Zest, from one of my good friends, actually, where you take caffeine before you go to bed, and when you wake up, the caffeine just hits you, so you’re instantly awake. This is what the Zest box looks like. You get a little bag of their supplements that goes inside of here. “Wake up with energy. Take before bed.” I’m excited to try this out, the Wake Up Pill. Time-release caffeine supplement. I think after 7 hours, the Zest caffeine will hit your blood system right as soon as you wake up. “Say hello to morning energy.” “Better for you and the planet.” There’s a refill system that comes in a pouch. “What to expect”: day one, and 3 to 7. You take Zest right before you go to bed and you wake up with energy at 6 AM. Take one capsule with water nightly. I’m excited to try Zest out. Thank you for sending us over. Follow for more.

“Caution to anyone taking SSRIs...”
Worked as advertised, but word of warning!!
If you take any SSRI medication, taking L-Theanine as well may increase your risk of seratonin syndrome, a rare but extremely serious condition. If you take any serotinergic medication like SSRIs (Lexapro, Prozac, etc.), MAOIs, or TCAs, make sure you understand the risk and know the symptoms of seratonin syndrome when taking any supplement with L-Theanine.
A lot of people taking SSRI's have trouble waking in the morning and would benefit immensely from this product, so I hope Zest Labs releases a secondary version without L-Theanine so we can feel safe and comfortable taking it every day. At the moment I am only taking one pill (40mg caffeine, 40 mg L-Theanine) out of caution, but I wish I could take a full 80mg caffeine.

“Waking up after 7 hours like clockwork”
From Day 1, Zest has consistently worked in 7 hours for me. I'm still figuring out the timing and if I want to be a morning exerciser before getting ready for work, but I'm waking up less groggy and more able to plan and make decisions. I used to wake up well before I needed to be up in order to have multiple alarms and a slow morning to let the coffee hit. Taking Zest is already a big improvement for a night owl with an early morning job. My only issue is sometimes I want more than 7 hours of sleep, but it will wake me up after 7 hours. So it's hard to take daily, though I know that is how it works best. I'm going to try to take it at 10PM even on weekends to wake up at 5AM and hope those habits become regular during the workweek. I've been waking up a few minutes before my alarm every day, so it's not a surprise.

“Got me off provigil”
so I have idiopathic hypersomnia, and it has been getting increasingly worse in the last year. I was taking Provigil 200 mg twice a day and I was still having issues staying awake. Unfortunately, the Provigil put me in afib so taking more wasn’t really an option. My provider found this for me, and I started taking it in place of the provigil. It was a rough transition at first because I was also on propranolol. But after about a week, it helped me tremendously. Now I take two of these at night and I actually feel awake enough to drive to work. It’s safer because I don’t go into AFib anymore.

I actually feel like getting up when the alarm goes off!
It's great to actually feel like getting out of bed when my alarm goes off! I like not having to force down coffee before I'm out the door just to wake up. I'm excited to see how Zest might help with jetlag on my next international trip.

BUY IT!
It has been life changing for me! I now get up every morning and walk 15k steps before my family wakes up for the day. I have more energy. I love having a head start every day so there is more cushion for whatever chaos the day throws at me.

It works perfectly! I took it around 1030pm. Roughly 2hrs after eating. I shot straight up at 6am ready to rock and roll! Didn't even need the alarm. Then I had steady energy the rest of the day. No crash. 100% recommend

Love it!!
My husband and I love Zest! We take it every weeknight, and the biggest difference we’ve noticed is how much less groggy we feel when we wake up in the morning. Mornings just feel easier, and we feel much more ready to get up and start the day. It’s become a staple in our nightly routine!
