Sustain Caffeine Gum - Natural Mint Energy. 72 Pieces, 50 mg each - Biodegradable, Sugar-Free, Contains Xylitol, Plant-Based & Plastic Free with No Aspartame - 6 Packets

The current health scare concerns microplastics which supposedly over time can block the small capillaries in your body, brain, etc. leading to eventual stroke (brain) or lack of blood flow to other parts of your body. So just to be safe I found this gum on Amazon (one of the very few) which supposedly does NOT contain a gumbase (which indicates microplastics are present). I was using a caffeinated gum which I liked but it contained the gumbase (microplastics) so I switched to this caffeinated gum and it's pleasant tasting with none of the nasty aspartame. One final note on microplastics which will effect your health in the long run. A new French study found the highest level of microplastics in glass bottles (beer was the highest) with metal caps. Why......because the inside of the caps are sprayed with microplastics (probably to get a tighter seal) which leak into whatever beverage the glass bottles contain in transit. Even plastic bottles has much lower levels than the glass bottles with metal caps.

Popped the first piece into my mouth and everything was ok but a few seconds into chewing a weird taste coalesced at the rear roof of my mouth. I only chewed it for a minute or two before deciding it was too gross and spit it out.I wasn’t too tired when I chewed it so I can’t comment on the effectiveness yet.

If you like mint flavor you will like this gum. The energy I get from this gum is much stronger than another brand of 50mg caffeine I’ve tried. It wakes me up! The only downside to this gum is that there’s not enough gum to chew on after the semi-liquidy center is gone.

Nasty. They do give energy but they are so gross.

Solid substitute for the caffeine gum with plastic I’ve been using

Please take out sucralose!! Won’t be buying this gum again. After chewing it everyday it’s way too sweet for me and I don’t like ingesting sucralose often due to its links with cancer.Pros: good caffeine content, no petrochemicals, biodegradable, plastic free packaging, taste isn’t awfulCons: not a fan of sucralose, would prefer less controversial sweetener. Personally I prefer mintier gum, and I feel like this one tastes too sweet

Weird flavour. Sticks to ones teeth. I ise other natural gums and this is worse. Not buying again.

I love this caffeine gum. It is a great alternative to drinking coffee all day. I also use it as a substitute for caffeinated gels as a running energy supplement.
