According to the report, DehydraTECH-Nicotine reached maximum blood saturation levels faster than either of the two other brands. In addition, superior subjective performance characteristics were observed in the study. Specifically, Lexaria’s oral nicotine pouch was significantly faster in the median time required to reach comparable maximum nicotine concentrations within the bloodstream than both on! and ZYN, 15% faster and 20.2% faster respectively.
