Product.
What it is, how it tastes, how it works.
No. Zoot contains zero nicotine and zero tobacco. Each pouch contains 50 milligrams of caffeine plus a nootropic stack (L-Theanine, Alpha GPC, L-Tyrosine). Same pouch format as Zyn, completely different chemistry.
50mg per pouch. Roughly equivalent to one strong espresso. 20 pouches per can.
Three nootropic actives sit alongside 50mg caffeine in every Zoot Ultra pouch: L-Theanine 30mg, Alpha GPC 60mg, and L-Tyrosine 60mg. L-Theanine smooths the caffeine edge. Alpha GPC is a choline source that supports cognition; L-Tyrosine modulates stress under cognitive load. Lucy's energy gum runs caffeine plus L-Theanine only. Zoot adds the choline and amino acid on top.
30 to 45 minutes for flavor. 1 to 3 hours for active effect. Toss when the flavor fades.
Four cans of 20 pouches = 80 pouches per sleeve. At one a day, that's about 2.5 months. At two a day, about 1.3 months. Membership defaults to 30-day shipments, adjust to 45 or 60 days if you go through them slower.
No, Zoot uses a different flavor system than Zyn and other nicotine pouches. Cool Mint is a true peppermint, sharp and clean, not the synthetic toothpaste and menthol blend most nicotine pouches lean on. Flavor lasts 30 to 45 minutes per pouch and fades evenly without a chemical aftertaste. Wintergreen, Cactus Cooler, and Tiger's Blood ship next.
Cool Mint ships now. Wintergreen, Cactus Cooler, and Tiger's Blood are on the waitlist, drop your email on each flavor's page and you'll be first when it ships.
The non-caffeinated nootropic line. Launching after Cool Mint demand validates. Different stack, same can format. Drop your email on the /shop page Alpha card.
Yes. One pouch 10 to 20 minutes before training is a common protocol. 50mg of caffeine plus L-Tyrosine and Alpha GPC hits faster than a pre-workout drink because the gum-line route bypasses the stomach. No sugar load, no liquid weight, no jittery 200mg crash mid-session.
No. Zoot contains zero nicotine, zero tobacco, and no NCAA, WADA, or military prohibited substances. The active stack is caffeine (an unbanned stimulant up to 12 μg/mL urine concentration under WADA), L-Theanine, Alpha GPC, and L-Tyrosine, none of which are screened for on standard or sport-specific panels.
Yes. Zoot has zero calories and zero sugar. Caffeine doesn't break a fast under any reasonable IF protocol. The amino acids (L-Theanine, L-Tyrosine) are below the threshold that would trigger an insulin or mTOR response — well under 1 gram per pouch combined.
It's a stack-synergy dose, not a standalone clinical dose. Single-ingredient clinical Alpha GPC studies typically use 200 to 600mg. In Zoot the 60mg is paired with caffeine, L-Theanine, and L-Tyrosine — the combined stack works through complementary mechanisms (Parker et al. 2011 showed measurable cognitive performance gains from caffeine + Alpha GPC together at similar ratios).
Different products, different category. Lucy's energy gum is a chewable caffeine + L-Theanine gum at ~40mg caffeine per piece. Zoot is a pouch you place under your lip — no chewing, no swallowing, releases gradually over 30 to 45 minutes. Zoot also adds Alpha GPC and L-Tyrosine on top of the caffeine + L-Theanine pair Lucy uses.

Ingredients.
What's in it, what's not, sourcing.
Caffeine Anhydrous 50mg, Alpha GPC 60mg, L-Tyrosine 60mg, L-Theanine 30mg, plus food-grade excipients (microcrystalline cellulose, propylene glycol, natural flavor, sodium chloride, sucralose, silicon dioxide). Full transparency at /ingredients.
Likely yes. We're pending final attestation from our manufacturer, no animal-derived ingredients are in the formulation but we'll publish the verification when we have it in writing.
Likely yes. Same situation as vegan, pending manufacturer attestation.
Sucralose is a non-caloric artificial sweetener used in trace amounts to mask the bitterness of caffeine and the nootropic actives. Sugar would dissolve the pouch matrix and add calories. If you actively avoid sucralose, Zoot isn't for you.
Propylene glycol is a food-safe moisture-retaining excipient, GRAS-rated by the FDA. Common in supplements, frostings, and many pharmaceutical products. Yes, it's also used in vapes, same molecule, completely different application.
Yes. Every batch is tested by AFL (A Tentamus Company) in Plano, TX. Microbial panel, heavy metals, water activity, pH. The COA is downloadable from /ingredients.
Safety.
Caffeine cap, who should skip, drug interactions.
Yes for healthy adults at recommended doses. Don't exceed 8 pouches in 24 hours (400mg total caffeine. FDA's recommended daily cap). Skip Zoot entirely if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or caffeine-sensitive.
Dietary supplements are not FDA-approved as a category. Zoot's ingredients are GRAS-rated (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA. The standard supplement-industry disclaimer applies: these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
8 pouches in 24 hours maximum (400mg total caffeine). The FDA's healthy-adult daily caffeine guideline is 400mg. Don't stack Zoot with multiple cups of coffee or energy drinks on the same day, track your total caffeine intake.
No. Skip Zoot if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. The recommendation for caffeine intake during pregnancy is significantly lower than for non-pregnant adults, and the additional ingredients haven't been studied in pregnancy populations.
L-Tyrosine can interact with MAO inhibitors and a few other drug classes. Standard supplement safety: check with your doctor before starting if you're on any prescription medication.
Caffeine at this dose (50mg per pouch, 400mg/day cap) is not chemically addictive in the way nicotine is. Caffeine tolerance is real but mild, and stopping doesn't trigger a chemical withdrawal syndrome. If you're trying to switch off nicotine pouches, see /compare/zyn.
We do not market Zoot to anyone under 18. The product is a caffeine-containing supplement and teens have different physiological tolerance to caffeine than adults. Skip Zoot if you're under 18.
