Energy pouches: what are they and how do they work?
An energy pouch is a small tobacco-free pouch that you place between your gum and lip to get a measured dose of caffeine. The caffeine passes through the lining of your mouth, with nothing to drink or swallow. A FAYQ pouch contains 100 mg of caffeine, about one cup of coffee, plus L-theanine, Alpha-GPC and vitamin B12, with no nicotine and no sugar.
What is inside an energy pouch?
A pouch is a plant-fiber sachet about the size of a thumbnail. Inside you will find the active ingredient (caffeine), any complementary ingredients and a flavoring. At FAYQ, each pouch contains:
| Ingredient | Amount per pouch |
|---|---|
| Caffeine | 100 mg |
| L-Alpha-GPC | 99.1 mg |
| L-Theanine | 76 mg |
| Vitamin B12 | 4.99 µg |
| Sugar, nicotine, tobacco | 0 |
How do you use an energy pouch?
- Take one pouch from the tin.
- Slide it between your gum and upper lip. Do not chew or swallow it.
- Keep it in for 20 to 30 minutes, then drop it in the lid compartment.
You can talk, work or drive normally in the meantime. There is nothing to prepare and nothing to drink.
Energy pouch or snus: what is the difference?
