Caffeine Pouches

Caffeine pouches are a great way to get a quick energy boost without the need for coffee or energy drinks. Small, discreet and easy to use, they deliver caffeine through the lining of your mouth, offering a clean and convenient alternative for busy people who want a long lasting alertness boost without the sugar rush.

They come in a variety of fruit and menthol flavoured options and are completely tobacco-free and nicotine-free.

What do Caffeine Pouches Do?

They provide a zero calorie increase in mental alertness, focus, and energy levels minus any addictive or carcinogenic risk. The caffeine is delivered quickly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion for faster effect.

Do Caffeine Pouches Work?

Yes. Just like other caffeine products, they stimulate the central nervous system. Caffeine pouches provide a gradual release that begins to take effect within 15 to 30 minutes, lasting for several hours, depending on your tolerance.

Benefits of Caffeine Pouches?

• Fast absorption: Caffeine is absorbed through your mouth lining, so it hits faster than coffee or energy drinks.
• Zero sugar or calories: Enjoy pure energy without any dietary guilt.
• Discreet & portable: Use quickly on-the-go.
• Non-addictive: No nicotine, no tobacco, just clean stimulation.

Fresh Flavours

From fruity freshness to icy cool, caffeine pouches come in a variety of zingy, refreshing flavours to suit your taste.

• 🍊 Fruit Blends – Sharp and tangy or sweet and juicy, often paired with menthol for extra lift.
• 🌿 Mints – Sweet, spicy and herbal, tastes freshly picked and revitalising.
• ❄️ Menthols – Cool, clean and powerfully refreshing

Pick Your Strength

Not all energy needs are the same. Choose a strength that fits your lifestyle and tolerance.

• Low (75mg): Similar to a regular cup of coffee. Great for caffeine newbies or light pick-me-ups.
• Medium (100mg): A reliable all-day energy boost without overdoing it.
• High (150mg): For the caffeine veterans or those needing a serious lift.

Are There Side Effects?

Caffeine is a stimulant that can cause side effects if you’re not used to it, have a sensitivity or overuse. These can include:

• Anxiety or restlessness.
• Dry mouth or gum irritation.
• Insomnia if used too late in the day.

People sensitive to caffeine should start with a low strength option and monitor effects.

Caffeine Pouches vs Coffee

They're a fast and effective alternative to coffee, perfect for the morning commute rush or long meetings. Caffeine pouches are cost effective and are great for the waistline.

Are Caffeine Pouches Cheaper Than Coffee?

Yep - much cheaper. An average cup of store bought coffee can cost between £3 to £5 per serving. A tin of caffeine pouches costs between £3 to £5 and contains 20 servings. So you get 20 times the value of a single cup of coffee.

Caffeine Pouches vs Energy Drinks

It's no secret that energy drinks aren't great for your health. They're loaded with sugar - often in excessive amounts - and there's even a push in the UK to ban them for sale to under-16s. Caffeine pouches, on the other hand, offer a sugar-free, much healthier alternative.

Caffeine Pouches vs Nicotine Pouches

What is in Caffeine Pouches?

• 🌿 Cellulose – Organic filler used to absorb the ingredients.
• 💧 Water – Moisture provides a comfortable experience.
• ⚡ Caffeine – Active ingredient.
• 🍊 Flavourings – Artificial food grade flavourings.
• 🧪 Propylene Glycol – Common flavour carrier used in many food products.
• ⚖️ Acidity Regulator – Balances the pH of the pouch for comfort
• 🍚 Sweetner – Sugar substitute like sucralose

Are Caffeine Pouches Addictive?

Caffeine creates a sense of alertness whereas nicotine releases dopamine into the brain which causes a pleasure feedback loop. Caffeine addiction is a recognised condition, but not as severe as nicotine addiction, which can quickly lead to dependence and compulsive behaviour. While nicotine is widely recognised for its addictive potential (even in small amounts), caffeine is regarded as safe in moderation.

Legal and Purchasing Info
