Because it's chewed, it delivers caffeine to the body four to five times faster than a liquid or pill because it's absorbed through tissues in the mouth -- not the gut, like in traditional formulations. |
We spent six years in development, giving feedback to the company about dosages, etc.. Our research data regarding the affects of the gum was exciting, so we published the results. |
We wanted to show that the gum is a quick and safe method of maintaining or improving alertness and physical and mental performance, and our tests did that. |
