What does it do?

Nicotine polacrilex is in the form of nicotine bonded to a polymer resin and is used to assist with quitting smoking. This ingredient is found in products like nicotine gum, which helps reduce the urge to smoke and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

Nicotine polacrilex gradually releases nicotine in the mouth, allowing it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The supplied nicotine acts on the nicotine receptors in the brain, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking.
