Many people wonder whether energy pouches are harmful. In short: with normal use, they're no cause for concern for healthy adults.
✓ No nicotine, no tobacco. So none of what makes classic snus problematic.
✓ Caffeine just like in coffee or energy drinks: The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) considers up to 400 mg of caffeine per day and 200 mg at once safe for healthy adults.¹ The exact amount per pouch is listed on every product page.
✓ No sugar, no drinking, no carbonation: Many flavors are sugar-free, unlike most energy drinks.
✓ Plus vitamins: Many flavors contain B vitamins. Vitamin B12, for example, contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.²
As with coffee: if you're very sensitive to caffeine, you may occasionally notice restlessness or trouble falling asleep. In that case, simply choose a flavor with less caffeine.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children. Not suitable for children or pregnant and breastfeeding women. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
