It's derived from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. It's essentially a polymer of catechin. A proanthocyanidin. It's also a bit expensive.

Some people around here don't miss a trick, do they?

I suppose you both noticed the capital letter at the front, and the (R) beside it? It's another in a long line of firms which see no immorality in making stuff pw"MS" need beyond their reach financially. If it does actually does those people any good, and they don't just think it does, well let's get in on the gravy train before somebody else does! That might be why it's a bit expensive. Time isn't the only thing that's brain. You might say brain is $$money to a lot of people. The less of both, that we can arrange for them to get, the more for us.

Time is brain, and time is also money, so brain is money, right? A syllogism.

I guess we can rely on that tree not to become extinct...
