“I used to bring the whole workday home with me and my kids got the worst version of me. Now I sit in the car for a couple of minutes before I go in. Pouch under my lip, thumb on the rings, slow breaths. My husband noticed the difference before I did.”

Kevin R.
“I'd go through a can of On! a day on job sites. Now the can rides in my vest. Pouch in, a few slow breaths by the truck, back to work. I'm not waking up wired at 3am anymore either.”

Marcus D.
“Back to back calls used to wind me up for the rest of the day. I keep the box on my desk and use it between meetings. Sounds small but my afternoons are way steadier. Also went from 4 coffees to 2, which my stomach appreciates”

“Started Zyn in grad school to focus and was at 10 a day by 30. ARVO kept the part I actually liked, the little break. Six weeks nicotine-free and my gums finally stopped bugging me.”

how it works.minute by minute.

  1. 1

    0-5 MINUTES · THE RITUAL

    you slow down.

    Place a pouch under your lip, trace the rings on the ripple box and take a few slow breaths. You feel this part right away.

    BREATHE. SETTLE.
  2. 2

    WITHIN THE HOUR · THE ACTIVES

    the stress eases.

    L-theanine settles in behind the ritual. In the research, one 200 mg dose lowered the stress hormone cortisol within an hour. Calm and clear-headed, not sedated.

  3. 3

    AFTER · NO CRASH

    nothing to come down from.

    No nicotine, no caffeine, no stimulants. No spike, so no comedown. The calm eases off on its own.

  4. 4

    IF YOU'RE QUITTING · WEEK BY WEEK

    fewer nic pouches.

    Reach for ARVO where the nic pouch used to be, and use fewer as the habit loosens.

  5. 5

questions.

A nicotine-free, caffeine-free pouch you place under your lip. Each serving (2 pouches) has 200 mg L-theanine, 30 mg saffron, 100 mcg vitamin B12, 200 mcg folate. Pair it with the ripple box and a few slow breaths for a reset you can carry.

Adults 18+ who want a calmer, clearer head on stressful days, and people who want off nic pouches without losing the ritual.

No. Zero nicotine, zero tobacco and zero caffeine.

Place a pouch under your lip, trace the rings on the ripple box and take a few slow breaths.

We recommend 2 a day. Use one whenever you need a reset. There's nothing to ration.

The ritual works in the first few minutes. In the research, L-theanine lowered cortisol within an hour of a single dose. Saffron was studied as a daily habit over 4 weeks.

If you want off nicotine but miss the ritual, yes. ARVO keeps the lip, the can and the pause, with zero nicotine. It is not a nicotine replacement therapy and has not been tested as a way to stop using nicotine.

Two flavors. Mint is cooling and bold. [Flavor 2] is gentle and smooth.
