Nicotine pouches are a better alternative to smoking*, offering a cleaner, more discreet experience for users. Velo nicotine pouches, in particular, stand out for their innovation and quality. But what exactly is inside a Velo nicotine pouch? In this blog, we’ll explore the core ingredients, breaking down what makes these pouches effective and convenient, for use. 

1. The Outer Pouch: The Delivery System 

The fabric material used in Velo pouches is engineered to ensure comfort and ease of use while maximizing the controlled release of nicotine and flavors. 

• Material: The outer pouch is made from a high-quality, nonwoven fabric, such as eucalyptus or cellulose, which is both biodegradable and food-grade. This fabric ensures that the pouch is safe for oral use, even over extended periods. 
  
  
• Design: The pouch is small, slim, and designed to fit comfortably under the upper lip. This discreet design allows users to consume nicotine without the need for spitting, which is common in some other types of oral tobacco products. 
  
  
• Function: The pouch material serves two key purposes:
  
  1. Nicotine Release: It allows a slow, controlled release of nicotine and flavor, which starts as soon as it comes into contact with saliva.
  2. Containment: It holds the fillers and other ingredients securely without breaking apart during use, ensuring a clean and comfortable experience. 

According to industry standards, the design of such pouches has been optimized over time to cater to users’ needs for comfort and functionality, with nonwoven fabrics proving more durable than earlier materials. 

2. Nicotine: The Active Ingredient 

Velo nicotine pouches are designed to deliver a clean, no smoke** nicotine experience. 

• Nicotine Strengths: Velo pouches come in a variety of nicotine strengths, typically ranging from 6mg to 10mg per pouch. This allows users to tailor their experience based on their preferences and how much nicotine they want to consume in each session. 
  
  
• Release Mechanism: Nicotine is absorbed orally, delivering a steady dose of nicotine over a 20-30 minute period.
  
  
• Flavors: A Variety of Tastes: Flavors play a major role in improving the user experience with Velo nicotine pouches. The brand offers a diverse range of flavors, carefully crafted to provide a satisfying sensory experience. 
   
• Popular Flavors: Velo offers a wide variety of flavor profiles, including: 

            Mint: One of the best-sellers due to its refreshing and cooling effect. 

            Berry: A blend of sweet and tart flavors that mimic the taste of mixed berries. 

            Citrus: A zesty option for users looking for a bright, refreshing experience. 

• Natural and Artificial Flavorings: Velo uses a combination of natural extracts and artificial flavors. Natural extracts, such as mint or berry essences, are sourced from organic plants, while artificial flavors are carefully engineered to provide consistent taste in each pouch. 
  
  
• Purpose of Flavors: The flavors in Velo pouches not only improves the user experience but also mask any potential bitterness of the nicotine, making it more pleasant for the user.  

3. pH Regulators: Ensuring Nicotine Absorption 

To maximize nicotine absorption, Velo includes pH regulators that help maintain an optimal environment in the mouth for the nicotine to be absorbed. 

• Common pH Regulators: Sodium carbonate is the most common pH regulator used in Velo pouches. It works to adjust the acidity of the saliva, ensuring that the nicotine can be absorbed more efficiently through the mucous membranes in the mouth. 
  
  
• Function: By increasing the pH levels inside the pouch, these regulators ensure that nicotine remains in a freebase form, which is more easily absorbed by the body. This process significantly impacts how much nicotine the body absorbs from the pouch. 

4. Sweeteners: A Subtle Sweetness 

Velo includes non-caloric sweeteners to make the flavor profile more satisfying and enjoyable 

• Sweeteners Used: The most commonly used sweeteners in Velo pouches include xylitol and sorbitol. These are natural sugars-derived from plants like birch trees or corn, making them a healthier alternative to sugar. 
  
  
• Purpose: The addition of these sweeteners balances the bitterness of nicotine, complementing the flavors like mint and berry, making the experience more enjoyable without being overpowering. 

5. Fillers: The Core Structure 

Fillers provide the bulk and structure of the nicotine pouch, ensuring it holds its form without causing irritation. 

Main Fillers: Velo uses plant-based fibers such as cellulose (derived from wood pulp) or other similar non-tobacco fibers. 

Function: The primary function of fillers is to: 

Provide Shape: Help the pouch retain its form and fit comfortably in the mouth. 

Absorb and Hold Flavor: Allow for the even distribution of flavors and nicotine throughout the pouch. 

Conclusion: A Modern, Better Alternative To Smoking*

Velo nicotine pouches offer a discreet, flavorful, and tobacco-free way to consume nicotine. Each pouch is carefully crafted with high-quality ingredients. With a focus on delivering a clean and satisfying flavour  experience.
