Caffeine Pouches Explained

Caffeine pouches are small, portioned pouches designed to deliver caffeine through the lining of your mouth. They are similar in use and feel to nicotine pouches but do not contain nicotine and tobacco.

They are practical for adult users looking to consume caffeine without drinking coffee or energy drinks. Learn more about the effects of caffeine in our caffeine vs nicotine guide.

Typical ingredients are similar to tobacco-free nicotine pouches and include:

Water
Fillers
Salt
Sweeteners
Flavourings
Acidity regulators

Caffeine is the main ingredient and comes either from natural sources or is produced synthetically (some brands using synthetic caffeine may call this ‘clean caffeine’).

Caffeine Pouches, Energy Pouches & Nicotine Free Pouches

Maybe you’ve heard of caffeine pouches, energy pouches, and nicotine free pouches, and you’ve wondered what the difference is.

Nicotine Free Pouches: These are pouches that do not contain nicotine.
Caffeine Pouches: These fall under the nicotine free category but have caffeine as the active ingredient.
Energy Pouches: In addition to caffeine, these pouches can contain ginseng, amino acids, vitamins, or similar ingredients.

Caffeine pouches are not the same thing as coffee-flavoured nicotine pouches, which contain nicotine but not caffeine.

How to Use Caffeine Pouches Properly

Wondering how do caffeine pouches work? Here’s how to use them properly:

Place the pouch under your upper lip, like a nicotine pouch.
Let it rest for 10-30 minutes while the caffeine absorbs through the oral lining.
Remove the pouch and dispose of it responsibly.

How Do Caffeine Pouches Work?

Caffeine pouches work similarly to caffeinated chewing gum, where caffeine is absorbed through the oral lining of the mouth.

This means that caffeine pouches and chewing gum tend to work faster than caffeinated drinks or capsules, which need to be digested before you feel their effects.¹

Use the table below to compare different caffeine sources and how quickly you feel their effects.

Caffeine Source	Cup of Coffee (Instant)	Caffeinated Chewing Gum	Energy Drink
Amount of Caffeine	50mg	50mg	80mg caffeine (for a small can)
Time for Effects to Kick In	30-60 minutes	Within 5-15 minutes	30-60 minutes
Duration of Effects	About 4–6 hours	About 4–6 hours	About 4–6 hours
How to Use	Drank as a liquid	Chewed in the mouth	Drank as a liquid
Caffeine Absorption Route	Goes through stomach and gut into the blood	Absorbed through oral lining (some is swallowed)	Goes through stomach and gut into the blood

If you consume coffee, energy drinks, or caffeine capsules on an empty stomach, they may act faster than described in the table above.

How Much Caffeine Is Too Much?

Adults are generally advised to keep caffeine intake below 400mg per day.²

This includes all sources, such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, and caffeine pouches.

See how much caffeine is in your traditional caffeine product:³

Instant coffee (250ml): around 50mg
Venti Starbucks (600ml): 400-500mg
Energy drink (250ml): 85-300mg (brand dependent)
Black tea (250ml): around 50mg
Coca Cola (240ml): 34mg
Pre-workout (1 scoop) - 200-400mg (brand dependent)

Always monitor your overall caffeine intake. Too much caffeine can cause restlessness, trouble sleeping, or rapid heartbeat.
