Frequently asked questions
Can WAVE pouches irritate the gums?
Mild tingling on first use is normal and will gradually subside. To protect your gums, we recommend alternating the side of insertion with each use.
Can WAVE pouches stain your teeth?
No, not with normal use. Teeth stain when strongly pigmented compounds, such as those in tea or red wine, build up on the tooth surface over time. WAVE pouches get their light brown shade from the functional mushroom blend and contain no added colours.
Is there really no nicotine in it?
No. WAVE contains no nicotine and no caffeine. It isn't a hidden nicotine product.
Can I swallow saliva while using a pouch?
Yes, you can swallow saliva. Some of the active ingredients are absorbed through the oral mucosa, the rest you take in when you swallow. Just don't chew or swallow the pouch itself.
How many pouches can I take per day?
We recommend 4 to 6 pouches per day, spread evenly. Do not exceed 6 pouches per 24 hours.
What are the side effects of using pouches?
Mild tingling under the lip on first use is normal and fades after a few days. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake (max. 6 pouches per 24 hours). Not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women.
How are WAVE pouches used?
Place 1 to 2 pouches under your lower or upper lip and keep them there for 30 to 60 minutes. Alternate left and right side for comfort.
Why do I feel tingling under my lip?
Mild tingling on first use is normal and fades after a few days. The pouch format allows absorption through the oral mucosa.
How long do I keep a pouch in?
Keep it under your lip for 30 to 60 minutes. Then put it in the top compartment or throw it in the trash.
Do WAVE pouches contain nicotine or tobacco?
No. WAVE contains no nicotine and no tobacco. Every pouch holds a 400 mg functional mushroom blend (Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi), L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine and vitamin B12.
Do WAVE pouches contain caffeine?
No. WAVE contains no caffeine. Inside you'll find a functional mushroom blend, two amino acids and vitamin B12. No nicotine, no caffeine, no sugar.
What ingredients do you use?
WAVE combines three functional mushrooms with two amino acids and Vitamin B12. No nicotine, no caffeine, no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Lion's Mane: 10:1 extract from the fruiting body. Research studies it in the context of NGF production in vitro (Mori et al., 2008).
- Cordyceps: Samsoniella hepiali mycelium. A placebo-controlled trial studied the related Cordyceps sinensis (Cs-4) in the context of exercise tolerance in older adults (Chen et al., 2010).
- Reishi: 10:1 extract from the fruiting body. An adaptogenic mushroom. A randomized, placebo-controlled trial studied a Reishi polysaccharide extract (Tang et al., 2005).
- L-Tyrosine: an amino acid found naturally in protein-rich foods (cheese, fish, legumes).
- L-Theanine: an amino acid first described in green tea leaves.
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
A 10:1 ratio means that 10 kg of dried fruiting bodies make 1 kg of extract.
What is the pouch made of?
The pouch itself is a non-woven fabric made from cellulose fibres. Inside is the WAVE filling: the mushroom blend, two amino acids, vitamin B12 and the supporting ingredients listed on the product page.
Are WAVE pouches suitable for vegans?
