Let's be honest, we have all had those days where it feels IMPOSSIBLE to function without caffeine, the mornings where it's best to not be spoken to until you have had your cup of coffee or you simply love a nice pick me up and  something to look forward to enjoying. That said, most of us have also likely been on the other side of the caffeine come down. Que the jitters and restless nights. If your interested in reducing your caffeine intake and reaping the benefits this one's for you.
