What are energy pouches?

Energy pouches—also known as caffeine pouches—are small, portable packets containing powdered caffeine. They are placed in the mouth, similar to smokeless tobacco pouches, allowing caffeine to be absorbed through the gums. These pouches offer a convenient way to consume caffeine without needing coffee, energy drinks, or other beverages, and can also be used as a pre-workout boost.

How do energy pouches work?

Caffeine is absorbed through the gums into the bloodstream, providing a quick energy boost. Our pouches come in various flavours and caffeine concentrations, and are ideal for people on the go or needing a pre-workout boost.

How do I use energy pouches?

To use caffeine pouches:

  1. Place the pouch in your mouth: Insert it between your cheek and gum—either side is fine.
  2. Let it dissolve: The pouch slowly releases caffeine, typically over 15–30 minutes.
  3. Don’t chew or swallow: The pouch is not edible. Let it sit in your mouth to release caffeine gradually.
  4. Dispose of it after use: Remove and discard the pouch after 30–45 minutes.

Are there any precautions when using energy pouches?

Yes. Please consider the following:

  • Start with a low dose, especially if you're new to caffeine.
  • Use only one pouch at a time to avoid excessive intake.
  • Monitor your total daily caffeine to avoid jitteriness or insomnia.
  • Follow the instructions on our packaging carefully.
  • People with heart conditions, anxiety, or caffeine sensitivity should consult a doctor before use.

How often can I use an energy pouch?

The frequency depends on your caffeine tolerance and the pouch's strength. General guidelines:

  1. Start slow: Try one pouch per day to see how your body reacts.
  2. Moderation is key: Healthy adults should limit caffeine intake to 400 mg per day. Our pouches contain 50–150 mg each.
  3. Avoid multiple pouches daily: Overuse can lead to side effects like anxiety or rapid heart rate.
  4. Space out usage: Wait several hours between pouches if using more than one per day.
  5. Consider other sources: Factor in caffeine from coffee, tea, and energy drinks.
Always listen to your body and adjust use accordingly.

What are the side effects of energy pouches?

Like other caffeine sources, pouches can cause side effects, especially if overused:

  • Jitters or nervousness – Especially for those sensitive to caffeine.
  • Increased heart rate – May cause palpitations or tachycardia.
  • Stomach upset – Can irritate the digestive system, especially on an empty stomach.
  • Dehydration – Caffeine is a diuretic; drink water regularly.
  • Insomnia – Avoid using pouches late in the day.
  • Headaches – Can occur from overuse or withdrawal.
  • Mouth or gum irritation – Extended use may cause discomfort.
  • Addiction or dependence – Regular use can lead to caffeine dependence.
  • Dizziness – May happen with excessive caffeine intake.
If you experience any of these, reduce your intake or consult a healthcare provider.
