Mint Natural Caffeine Energy Gum 25mg Caffeine, Taurine, B Vitamins Per Piece, 48 Pieces (6 Packs of 8) Sugar Free, Zero Calories, Naturally Sweetened, Gluten Free

These do have a good little kick of caffeine in them. You need to take a few of them to equal a cup of coffee. I’d like to chew gum when I run, so it is a nice concept to have a little caffeine for my run while I support my gum, chewing habit. The texture is very hard at first, and then it softens up. It does not get to the point where it breaks down so it actually stays in a nice gum form unlike other caffeine gum supplements I have tried before. The taste is very strange, but I would not say that is much different than other caffeine gums I have had.

I've personally experienced little to no caffeine effect when using this gum. As can be seen from my nearby photo, the back of each 8-pack of gum suggests 2 pieces for "moderate energy" of 50mg of caffeine, and 4 pieces for "maximum energy" of 100mg of energy, while also providing a recommended use warning not to exceed 8 pieces in one day. I'm not sure whether this warning needs to be heeded, since 200mg of caffeine in a single day is just equivalent to a few cups of coffee, and the other ingredients of this gum are included in very small volumes. Each piece of this gum, for example, only includes 2.2mg of vitamin B6 and 3mcg of vitamin B12, and I take 50mg and 1mg (1000mcg) of these, respectively, each morning. I've also consumed 1000mg to 2000mg of taurine on a daily basis, and each piece of this gum only includes 20mg. It's also worth noting that while the form of B12 included in this product is the right one for me, the form of B6 used, pyridoxine hydrochloride, is not, as I need to take the pyridoxal 5' phosphate form instead. While I like the fact that allulose and monk fruit are used as sweeteners in this product, and that the taste is fine (albeit rather muted), I've tried both 2 pieces and 4 pieces of this gum on various occasions and it just didn't do anything for me. I'll likely experiment with more than 4 pieces at a time as well, and will plan to update this review if doing so is the trick for me. Since every human body is different, I'm being gracious by rating this product three stars.

It's great to have a caffeine energy gum that doesn't use any artificial sweeteners; It is not as strong as the other versions but works well for me after a meal or when driving

First things first. The flavor does not last long at all. About 30 seconds or so. Other than that the gum seems to work. I waited to chew this after my lunch as I usually get sleepy after lunch. I only tried one piece of gum to ease into it. So far so good. It seems to give me a little kick of energy which is nice. I'm able to function as normal without feeling that jittery feeling if I have too much coffee. I can see this helping me out on long car drives. I just wish the flavor lasted longer.

Once you have been chewing this for a bit its fine, but at the very beginning there is a massive bitter outburst that is simply raunchy. I mean it seems to work for its intended purposes, but that initial hit makes this an "emergency only" option.

This first of all has good packaging. The gum is easy to access and doesn't require opening or unwrapping once box is out of its shrink wrap. The flavor is minty and very nice. Refreshing..... I really like the ingredients.... Maybe wish the amount of caffeine could be increased slightly would be my only con.Overall however this is exactly what was looking for pickleball. I like to chew when playing and the mild boost is helpful after playing a few hours.
