Questions you'd ask
over a whiskey.
We don't hide behind legalese. Below are the real questions our customers ask before buying — answered the way we'd answer them in person.
Product
No. Zero nicotine. Zero tobacco. White Shark is a caffeine and amino-acid pouch. The format is borrowed from nicotine pouches because it works — discreet, fast, and dose-controlled — but the chemistry is built around clean stimulants and L-Theanine.
Energy 90mg, Energy + Focus 100mg, Energy Max 180mg, Focus 0mg (L-Theanine only). Each pouch is dosed to ±2mg via pharma-grade caffeine anhydrous.
First effect at 8–12 minutes via sublingual absorption. Full peak at 25–35 minutes. Roughly twice as fast as a cup of coffee, with no kettle and no spill.
No. The pouches use plant cellulose and food-grade flavor compounds. No tar, no tobacco, no synthetic dyes that bind to enamel.
We don't recommend exceeding 400mg of caffeine per day per the FDA. That's two Energy Max pouches, or four Energy. Stack Focus on top — zero caffeine, no ceiling concern.

Energy Max is the heavy hammer — 180mg of pharma-grade caffeine in cinnamon mint. Engineered for the man who needs to move mountains before noon. Energy + Focus is the scalpel — 100mg caffeine paired with 200mg L-Theanine in a 1:2 lab ratio for calm, sustained, deep-work focus. Pick the tool that matches the job.
20–35 minutes under the lip. Effects last 3–5 hours depending on pouch and metabolism. Toss after, do not chew, do not swallow.
Yes. Most operators run 2–3 pouches per day. Stay under 400mg total caffeine per FDA guidance. Focus has zero caffeine — stack it freely with the others for clarity boosts.
Usage
Under your top lip. The active compounds absorb sublingually through the gum tissue — that's why it hits faster than coffee. You can move it side to side if needed.
Yes, completely safe. The active compounds are food-grade and dosed for total absorption.
Use Focus — it's caffeine-free. Energy Max should be done by 2PM if you want quality sleep. Caffeine half-life is 5–6 hours.
Yes — but stack the caffeine math. One Energy Max (180mg) + one strong coffee (~150mg) puts you at 330mg, well under the FDA's 400mg/day ceiling. We recommend swapping coffee, not stacking it.
