Focus Gum vs Focus Pouches: Which Format Fits You?
Dialed In offers two portable focus formats: chewing gum and oral pouches. Both avoid nicotine, but they feel and fit into a routine differently. Your choice starts with a simple preference: do you want to chew, or would you rather place a pouch between your gum and lip?
How does Focus & Energy Gum work?
Focus & Energy Gum is chewed. It is a convenient choice if you enjoy gum and want a format you can use without carrying a drink or mixing a powder. Check its current package for ingredients, serving directions, and the number of pieces in a bag.
How do Focus Pouches work?
A Focus Pouch rests between your gum and lip without chewing. Follow the directions on the specific product label, then remove and discard it after use. Dialed In’s Daily and Maximum Focus Pouches contain zero nicotine and zero tobacco.
Daily and Maximum have different formulas. Daily contains 48 mg N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, 48 mg Citicoline, 48 mg L-Theanine, 29 mg Theobromine, and 22 mg Guarana per pouch. Maximum contains 100 mg AmpFlow™ Paraxanthine, 100 mg ZenDrive™ L-Theanine, and 125 mg SteadyMind™ Citicoline per pouch.

Which format should you choose?
Choose gum if you like to chew. Choose a pouch if you prefer a format that stays between the gum and lip. If choosing a pouch, compare Daily’s Guarana-based formula with Maximum’s Paraxanthine-based formula and consider your stimulant tolerance.
Neither format guarantees a specific onset time, duration, or jitter-free experience. Follow the package directions and account for stimulants from coffee, tea, energy drinks, and other products you use. If you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, sensitive to stimulants, or managing a medical condition, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before use.
