The GSD Bundle

A buccal troche is a small lozenge that dissolves between your upper cheek and gums.

Swallowing supplements and drugs means they journey through your stomach and intestine, getting absorbed by the gut lining and later processed by the liver—a phenomenon known as first-pass metabolism. This route? It's not always quick, often taking anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.

But with buccal troches, ingredients are delivered straight into your bloodstream via the cheek, skipping first-pass metabolism. The result? A rapid onset within 15 to 30 minutes, ensuring the ingredients maintain their strength.

And here's the cherry on top: given the cheek's proximity to the brain, troche ingredients make a swift dash there. Perfect for nootropics that light up your brain and equally useful for troches that offer relaxation, pain relief, sleep support, and more!

There are 4 whole troches in each package and each troche can be cut into four quarters. Therefore, one pack can yield up to 16 doses, depending on your personalized needs. The troches are scored for easy titration.

Start with 1/4 troche to 1/2 troche and increase the dosage until you reach your optimal dose.

DO NOT exceed more than 4 whole troches in a 24-hour period.

For Tro+ Blue, the above instructions may not apply. Please follow the directions from your healthcare provider.

Blue Cannatine contains methylene blue (5 mg per troche), caffeine, nicotine and hemp crystals.

Just Blue contains methylene blue (16 mg per troche).

We created Just Blue based on customer requests for a nootropic that optimizes and enhances mitochondrial function without nicotine or caffeine. Blue Cannatine gives you more of a "kick" or "launch" in energy and focus. With Just Blue, it is more subtle and sustained energy, focus, and endurance.

If used as a buccal troche, yes. The rate of discoloration varies between 2 to 24 hours.

Warning: In addition to being a star ingredient, methylene blue is a dye. It will temporarily stain your mouth (including your teeth). If you have any concerns about dental work and/or prolonged staining, please consult your dentist. Blue tongue resolution speed will depend on how much you move it around when it is dissolving and the amount you use. There is no quick antidote but if you want to reduce the blue faster we have included tips below.

When methylene blue is reduced, it decolorizes. Reducing agents such as sodium bicarbonate — add 1/4 tsp baking soda in 4 fl oz water and rinse the mouth with it for a few minutes — should reduce the methylene blue. This should be done ideally 5-10 minutes after the troche has fully dissolved. Since the reaction is acid-catalyzed, rinse the mouth with 1 part vinegar, and 1 part water first, right before rinsing with baking soda, which would hasten the decolorizing reaction. We also find that hot liquids help as well!
