Question 1

Why gummies?

Accepted Answer

We chose gummies for a simple reason: consistency matters. No shaker. No water. No rushing to drink. No swallowing capsules while juggling the morning chaos. When something is easy, enjoyable and within reach, you're far more likely to actually take it.

Question 2

Aren't gummies a bit of a fad?

Accepted Answer

For a long time, gummies were little more than lollies with a sprinkle of vitamins. That's not what we set out to create. Pause was designed around meaningful doses of ingredients we genuinely wanted to take ourselves, paired with magnesium glycinate in a format that feels easy to come back to each day.

Question 3

What does the research say about L-theanine?

Accepted Answer

L-theanine is one of the most widely studied amino acids used for calm and stress support. Research has looked at its ability to support relaxation, calm focus, stress response and alpha brain waves, which are associated with a more grounded and clear-headed state. Several studies have found L-theanine helps support perceived stress response without causing sedation, which is why I think it's so well suited to parent life. Paired with magnesium glycinate, it becomes a really beautiful nervous system support duo.

Question 4

Will Pause make you tired or sleepy?

Accepted Answer

No. Pause doesn't make you feel drowsy. L-theanine gives you a sense of calm alertness, helping you feel more relaxed and grounded while remaining present and engaged in your day. Many people describe feeling less reactive and better able to handle life's everyday stresses.

Question 5

Can I take the gummies whilst breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

We always want to be transparent. Like many ingredients, L-theanine hasn't been specifically studied in breastfeeding mums. It's a gentle amino acid naturally found in tea and is generally well tolerated, but every body and season of motherhood is different. If you're breastfeeding, we always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider before introducing anything new.

Question 6

Where are they made?

Accepted Answer

Pause gummies are made in Australia using carefully selected ingredients and thoughtfully formulated with meaningful levels of active ingredients, while still being genuinely enjoyable to take.

Question 7

Will my body build a tolerance to it?

Accepted Answer

Your body doesn't build a tolerance to L-theanine in the same way it can with other calming ingredients. And over time, something else can happen too. When your nervous system experiences moments of calm more often, it starts to recognise that feeling. You can begin to feel less stuck in that constant fight-or-flight state and a little more steady in everyday life. It's not about it suddenly ‘wearing off.’ It's about supporting more steadiness, more often.

Question 8

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Pause is generally well-tolerated. Magnesium glycinate is the gentlest form of magnesium on the stomach. If you have a medical condition or take medication, check with your doctor.
