The 2:30 PM trap

It happens every single day around 2:30 PM.

Your eyes feel heavy, your brain slows down, and you're staring blankly at your screen. You have hours left in the workday, but zero fuel left to finish.

So you walk to the fridge or the shop, pop the tab on a €2.50 energy drink and take a sip.

You think you're buying energy. You aren't. You're walking into a trap.

The illusion and the tolerance loop

Energy drink brands spend billions selling you unstoppable focus. Peel back the can and you're mostly getting sugar, acid and carbonation, followed by a crash in the afternoon.

And then there are the spikes. When you dump big amounts of caffeine into your stomach, you get constant spikes and crashes. That's why one can stopped working, and why you now need two just to feel normal.

What the ad saysOne can, endless energy, all day long.What actually happensA big dose in the stomach: spike, crash, next can. And the dose jumps from 80 to 160 mg depending on the can.

The sugar and acid bomb

Look at the label on a regular 500 ml can and two numbers jump out.

Sugar
55 g
About 13 teaspoons in one can

A regular 500 ml Monster Energy has 11 g of sugar per 100 ml, 55 g in total.[1] That is more than the whole daily amount most guidelines suggest for added sugar.

Acid
2×
Twice the enamel loss of sports drinks

In a lab study, tooth enamel exposed to energy drinks lost about twice as much as enamel exposed to sports drinks.[2] Enamel does not grow back.

Liquid handcuffs

Gulping half a litre of carbonated liquid puts gas straight into your stomach. You feel bloated and heavy right when you need to be sharp.

On top of that, you're tied to a sweating aluminium can. You carry it around, worry about spilling it on your desk or in your car, and make more trips to the bathroom.

Gas vs fuel: the engine analogy

Think of your body like a car engine.

Caffeine is the gas pedal. It's what makes you feel alert.

What an energy drink adds on top is cheap fuel: 55 g of sugar that burns hot and runs out fast. You floor the pedal, burn through the sugar, and coast into the afternoon crash. Then you pay €2–3 for the next can to get going again.

The detail

Questions.

Does it actually work?

Yes! The functional ingredients in the pouch absorb through the oral mucosa and skip the GI tract entirely.

Since caffeine tolerance is highly individual, some users experience an instant, sharp increase in energy and focus levels, whereas others might need a few weeks to transition from coffee and energy drinks.

To find out if our pouches are something for you, we're offering a 90 day money-back-guarantee so that you can try it for yourself at no risk for 90 days.

How is this different from energy drinks and coffee?

Energy drinks & coffee routes caffeine through your gut, which is why it can bloat you and spike then crash. SZN absorbs sublingually, under the lip, so the dose skips digestion. The result is a faster, cleaner line up and a longer runway, with zero stomach load.

How much caffeine is in one pouch?

100mg per pouch. Equivalent to roughly one energy drink can or a big cup of coffee. Each pouch also contains a high dose of vitamin b-complex.

We process all orders within 1-2 business days. Once dispatched, delivery times are:Sweden, Norway & Denmark: 2-3 business days (via Bring PickUp & Box) Rest of Europe: 3-7 business days (via DHL Express Priority Shipping)

What flavors do you offer?

Our current product lineup consists of Original, Peach, Citrus and Mint. Original literally tastes like an energy drink. Peach features a more candy-like flavor profile, while Citrus is insanely fresh. Mint is a real killer and best described as a mix between wintergreen & rootbeer.

All our pouches are ultra long-lasting with a consistent release of up to 90 minutes.

How it works

What you'll feel.

The functional ingredients in each SZN pouch absorb in the oral mucosa under your lip, skipping your gut completely. You’ll first experience a light tingle, and within as little as 5 minutes, the caffeine and vitamins start reaching your bloodstream. We recommend using 4 pouches per day, spaced throughout the day.
