Military Energy Gum | 100mg of Caffeine Per Piece + Increase Energy + Boost Physical Performance + Cinnamon 8 Pack (40 Count)

The gum taste exactly like some normal brand gum but once the flavor is gone there is a very bitter taste. That's the reminder of the caffeine. It's important to keep chewing. 10 min will get you 99% of the caffeine. The gum hits hard and fast. This was a nice addiction trade, giving up energy drinks but still getting my daily caffeine intake. I followed the instructions on the back so I can't say the effects of taking more than the suggested amount.

While I prefer my caffeine delivered in coffee form, this gum worked well for me on long,14+ hr drives (not professional). I'm not a gum person but it saved me from taking bio breaks otherwise required for coffee. I start the drive with a large mug of coffee, then switch when empty and a boost is needed. The artic mint retained enough flavor to keep me chewing on it for hours, to also keep me occupied, though the boost comes early. I avoid nicotine pouches as I'm sure I would become hooked (as is my active duty son, who won't even try the gum at this point).

Doesn't taste good. Not at all! Plenty of caffeine tho.

I've purchased this gum several times and always keep some in the car and in my travel bags. It's got enough caffeine to keep me up through 4+ hour drives on low sleep with only 1 or 2 pieces. If you have to pull an all-nighter you can get through with these but the package does warn against having too many in a short period of time so going through more than a pack trying to stay up is probably not advised. The pieces are a bit larger than most chewing gum so it might not be good for those who need the caffeine while at work in jobs that don't approve of visible gum chewing. While much of taste is down to personal preference all of them will have a sort of chemical aftertaste, probably the caffeine itself, that some of my friends have found unpleasant. Having had all the flavors I don't think any of them are unpalatable but I found the green ones to have the nicest flavor for me personally. Overall I find it an easy recommendation and have gotten several friends to swear by it as well.

Good alternative to energy drinks with a 100mg boost of caffeine. Decent flavor for about 5-7 mins, but not a gum that you chew for a while.

Taste terrible! But would still recommend...

Works for around 90 minutes. Most of the time that's all I require.

The gum definitely works. The effect, duration, and function are very different from coffee. This is definitely something designed to allow someone to continue labourus activities without breaks or the desire to eat. If you chew a piece and then sit down for a day at the office you will feel more alert but likely won't get the full effects. If you chew a piece right before starting a long hike or a HIT workout you feel much more willing to push through periods of cardiovascular exhaustion and your appetite will fall of a cliff. Mental clearity and apptitutde increase. Towards the end ( about 5 hours) there is a bit of jitteryness or nervous energy but again the feeling would be very useful if I wasn't trying to sit still at that point. Overall I would recommend to anyone looking for a boost in alertness particularly when doing hard labor. Even if you don't feel hungry, eating after about the 2-3 hour point seems to sustain the energy boost. When I didn't eat it tapered off faster at the 3 hour mark. I wouldn't want to use this everyday however as I imagine the cumulative effects over several days would lead to crazy sleep patterns and anxiousnes. It also doesn't taste great after the first 5 minutes but I feel like the not so great taste mid up take adds to the " let's get going" effect. Long story short it's designed to give to soldiers first and foremost, so it facilitates ACTIVITY and alertness. Not just alertness
