WHAT’S DOING WHAT

BIG WORDS.
PLAIN ENGLISH.

Coffee beans illustrating the natural occurrence of caffeine

Both formats · 60 mg / 40 mg

CAFFEINE

A stimulant found in both formats. A controlled study of 60 mg oral caffeine reported improved sustained attention and alertness in healthy adults. That is ingredient research, not a trial of Rivox.

Tea leaves illustrating the natural occurrence of L-theanine

Pouches · 75 mg

L-THEANINE

An amino acid found in tea. Researchers have studied it alongside caffeine for attention. The studied combinations differ from Rivox’s 60 mg caffeine + 75 mg L-theanine formula.

Cacao illustrating the natural occurrence of theobromine

Pouches · 50 mg

THEOBROMINE

A compound naturally present in cacao and related to caffeine. Each Rivox pouch contains 50 mg. The research notes below explain the doses studied and what the findings mean.

Gum · 25 mg

ALPHA-GPC

A source of choline, which the body uses to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory and muscle control. Each piece of Rivox gum contains 25 mg. This does not establish a cognitive benefit from the amount in Rivox gum.

Vitamin B12 ingredient illustration

Both formats · See amounts above

B6 + B12

B6 participates in neurotransmitter synthesis. B12 supports normal nervous-system function and red blood cell formation. These supporting nutrients are not a substitute for sleep. Supplementation does not necessarily improve energy or performance when nutrient status is adequate.

Natural-source images illustrate where some ingredients occur. They do not describe the source of the ingredients in Rivox.

THE FINE PRINT
GETS A FRONT ROW.

These studies tested ingredients or other formulations, not finished Rivox products. The doses, formats and people studied matter. Here’s the context.

Caffeine and attentionWilhelmus et al. · 2017 · 60 mg caffeine

In 82 healthy adults aged 40–60 who consumed little or no caffeine, a randomized study evaluated 60 mg of oral caffeine and reported better sustained attention and alertness.

Where Rivox fits

Rivox pouches contain 60 mg caffeine and gum contains 40 mg per piece. This study tested caffeine, not either finished Rivox product.

Caffeine + L-theanineOwen et al. · 2008 · 50 mg + 100 mg

The study compared 50 mg caffeine, with and without 100 mg L-theanine. The combination improved selected measures of attention and resistance to distraction.

Where Rivox fits

Rivox pouches contain 60 mg caffeine + 75 mg L-theanine. The study did not test that combination, dose ratio or pouch format.

Caffeine delivered in gumKamimori et al. · 2002 · 50–200 mg caffeine

Researchers compared caffeinated gum with capsules at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg. The studied gum reached peak blood caffeine levels sooner on average.

Where Rivox fits

The study used another gum formulation. It does not establish the onset or absorption rate of Rivox’s 40 mg piece.

Theobromine: dose mattersBaggott et al. · 2013 · 250–1,000 mg

In 80 healthy participants, researchers studied 250, 500 and 1,000 mg of theobromine. Effects at 250 mg were limited; higher doses produced negative mood effects. Rivox pouches contain 50 mg, below the tested range.

Where Rivox fits

We do not use those results to promise extended focus, a specific duration, or prevention of a caffeine crash.

A FEW STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

Does zero nicotine mean stimulant-free?

No. Both formats contain caffeine. Pouches contain 60 mg per pouch; gum contains 40 mg per piece.

What does the research on this page actually test?

The studies linked here examine individual ingredients or other formulations. They do not test the finished Rivox formulas. Each research note explains the study dose and how it compares with our products.

Can I add pouches and gum together?

Count caffeine from every source, including coffee, drinks, pouches and gum. Follow each product’s label and consider your own caffeine sensitivity. Ask a qualified healthcare professional if you are unsure what is appropriate for you.

Where can I see the full label?

Each product page includes its ingredient information and directions. Your physical packaging has the complete label for the product you have.

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT’S INSIDE
