Sol Brah quit Zyn nicotine pouches and noticed better blood flow, more energy, and clearer thinking. He warns that nicotine constricts blood vessels and can cause sexual dysfunction, while the pouches contain synthetic fibers and chemicals like xylitol and sucralose linked to gut problems and insulin resistance.
Zyn is not Sol Brah approved. Deep down, I know you guys knew this, but Zyn has become so big and so widely used that I had to say something. But I haven't used them for a long time now, and my health and energy is miles better now that I'm not using any type of nicotine. What I found when I stopped was the following: better blood flow, more energy, stronger in the gym, better appetite, and clearer thinking in general. Here's what I think are the issues with Zyn and other similar nicotine products. It's not just nicotine that you're slamming into your gums. It's a chemical cocktail that's been improved by slick branding and still messing with all the dopamine of bros in tech vests. Firstly, nicotine is a potent vasoconstrictor. This means your blood flow is going down throughout your whole bodily system. Now, I shouldn't have to explain why this is bad for health, but some guys are even reporting issues in the bedroom from using these nicotine products. As the synthetic version of nicotine, it's always gonna be tolerated worse than the natural version that we see in tobacco, which I don't recommend taking consistently as well. What is that little bag made of anyway? Have you ever thought about that? It's not organic cotton. All those little fibers and the chemicals used in the construction going straight into your noggin. That doesn't sound good to me. And inside that bag, a mystery mix of flavor chemicals, artificial sweeteners, pH adjusters, and fillers. All of this bypassing the liver filter and going straight into the bloodstream through the gums. Xylitol, acetylsulfame potassium, and sucralose— all three have been linked in some studies to gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance, and abnormal brain signaling. Hydroxypropyl cellulose— this is a binder that's been used in eye drops and laxatives. Maybe now you understand the memes about having a zin and a coffee and making people go to the toilet. Once I really thought about all these ingredients, I had to stop using them. Once on the weekend is not a big deal, but if you're slamming doubles every single day, you may have a problem soon. What starts as a fun and uplifting feeling may quickly turn into something that you need just to feel okay. If you want to stop smoking and this is the crush that you need, transition wisely, but get off that crush soon. What's your experience with Zyn or other nicotine pouches? Do you use them and how do you feel?
