The basics
What exactly is a BOLT pouch?

A small pouch you tuck under your top lip. The caffeine releases while it sits — a smooth, steady 40 to 60 minutes — then you bin it. No chewing, no swallowing, no water needed.

Is there any nicotine or tobacco in it?

None. Zero. BOLT is caffeine energy — nicotine-free, tobacco-free, smoke-free, sugar-free and vegan. The whole ingredient list is caffeine, L-theanine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, natural flavour and a plant-fibre pouch.

How do I use one?

Tuck it under your top lip and leave it. Give it 40 to 60 minutes, then bin it. Start with one and see how you feel.

Will I feel it?

Yep — a steady lift rather than a spike, since the caffeine releases gradually while the pouch sits. Slim, silent and hands-free, so you can use it in a meeting, a workout or behind the wheel.

Caffeine & strength
How much caffeine is in a pouch?

Anywhere from 50 to 200 mg, across five strengths. For reference: a shot of espresso is about 65 mg, a can of energy drink about 80 mg, and a mug of coffee about 95 mg.

Which strength should I go for?

Match the dose to the day. The five levels are 50 mg Starter, 75 mg Mild, 100 mg Moderate, 150 mg Strong and 200 mg X-Strong. New to it? Start at Starter or Mild and adjust as you go.

How many can I have in a day?

Treat it like strong coffee and count everything you drink. Health authorities suggest healthy adults keep total caffeine under about 400 mg a day — so space your pouches out and don't stack them with energy drinks.

How long does one last?

A smooth, steady release of 40 to 60 minutes, with the lift carrying a little beyond that.

What's inside
What's the full ingredient list?

Caffeine, L-theanine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, natural flavour and a plant-fibre pouch. That's the entire list — nothing hidden.

Is it vegan and sugar-free?

Both — and low-calorie too. BOLT is vegan, sugar-free, nicotine-free, tobacco-free and smoke-free.

Will it stain my teeth?

No. Unlike coffee, tea or tobacco, BOLT won't stain your teeth — just a clean, fresh feel with every pouch.

How many flavours are there?

Thirteen — Mint, Wintergreen, Strawberry, Citrus, Blueberry, Mango, Peach, Orange, Bubblegum, Latte, Watermelon, Cherry and Cola.

Safety
Who shouldn't use BOLT?

It's not for under-18s, anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, or people sensitive to caffeine or with a heart condition. If you're unsure, check with your doctor first. Contains caffeine.

Is it safe?

It's caffeine — treat a pouch like a strong coffee. Stick to sensible daily amounts and don't combine it with a stack of other caffeine through the day.
