Sustain Caffeine Gum - Natural Mint Energy. 12 Pieces, 50 mg each - Biodegradable, Sugar-Free, Contains Xylitol, Plant-Based & Plastic Free with No Aspartame - 1 Packet

Great without microplastics. Brilliant product. It tastes good, even if flavor isn’t overly long lasting. In any case, the caffeine is efficient so no need to chew very long.

Good for the first three minutes then texture gets weird and loses flavor

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.

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.

I love this gum. It has just enough caffeine to give me a bit of a lift. I can even chew half a piece later in the day and it doesn't interfere with my sleep. Quite often I chew a piece even after having a large coffee as it just gives me that little extra kick.

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.

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

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 awful Cons: not a fan of sucralose, would prefer less controversial sweetener. Personally I prefer mintier gum, and I feel like this one tastes too sweet

Perfect strength to prevent Hypnic migraine

I'm not a big 'chewer', but like a box of the usual brand name in the car to help combat the odd smelly breath moment but also as a bit of an anti fatigue weapon on long drives. I like caffeine bullets, so when they released the gum I thought I'd give it a go. I think its fair to say they are 'different', but not in a bad way. I LOVE the fact that they are biodegradable so I dont worry about swallowing. The mint taste is good, but it does fade quicker than normal gum and you're left with a subtle bitterness. I quite like that, so don't mind it, and these are only really intended as a 10 minute gum anyway. I have found them a great addition to my little car stash, and have been great for a little bump on long car journeys.

Was worried about the taste but honestly it tastes amazing and if you chew 2 pieces when you're crashing this hits hard and fast! Perfect for my painting business! I threw 3 packs in my paint bag to keep on hand and perk me up when I start to feel sluggish

Unfortunately not all the pieces are gum like some are very powdery

Gets really sticky so if you try to take it out with your hand it sticks to your hands
