Frequently Asked Questions: Caffeine Pouches

What is a Caffeine Pouch?

A Caffeine Pouch is a small, nicotine-free, and tobacco-free sachet filled with powdered caffeine, flavorings, and plant-based fibers. It is designed to be placed under your lip, where the caffeine is absorbed directly through the lining of your mouth (buccal absorption). This allows the energy to enter your bloodstream much faster than drinking coffee or an energy drink, as it bypasses the digestive system.

Summary: It’s a clean, sugar-free energy boost. Think of it like an "energy drink in a pouch" that works faster and doesn't require any drinking or bathroom breaks.

How do I use a Caffeine Pouch?

Using a pouch is simple and discreet. Just follow these four steps:

1. Placement: Take one pouch out of the can and tuck it between your upper lip and gum. Most people prefer the side for comfort.

2. The Sensation: You may feel a slight "tingle" or cooling sensation (especially with Mint flavors). This is normal and means the caffeine is beginning to absorb.

3. Duration: Leave the pouch in place for 15 to 30 minutes. You don't need to chew it or move it around.

4. Disposal: Once you've finished, remove the pouch and dispose of it in a bin. Do not swallow the pouch. (Most cans, like ZAF, have a "waste compartment" in the lid to store used pouches until you find a bin).
   
   

Summary: Tuck it under your lip, leave it for up to 30 minutes, and then throw it away. Simple, mess-free energy.

How many can I use per day?

A single ZAF pouch contains 75mg of caffeine, which is roughly equal to one standard cup of coffee.

• The Golden Rule: The recommended daily limit for adults is 400mg of caffeine.

• Recommendation: We suggest using no more than 4 to 5 pouches per day to stay within a safe energy range. Avoid using them late in the evening if you are sensitive to caffeine, as it may interfere with your sleep.

Summary: One pouch equals one coffee. Stick to a maximum of 5 per day to avoid jitters or trouble sleeping.

Why choose pouches over energy drinks?

• Zero Sugar & Zero Calories: Perfect for those on a diet or avoiding the "sugar crash."

• Faster Onset: You feel the energy kick in within 5-10 minutes.

• Discreet: You can use them in meetings, at the gym, or while driving without needing a cup or bottle.

• Cost-Effective: One can usually contains 20 pouches, making it much cheaper than buying 20 energy drinks.
