Search it, or ask Chewy for a straight answer.
Most people feel it within about 10 minutes. The caffeine absorbs straight through the lining of your cheek as you chew, so it gets to work faster than a coffee or a pill.
Three things. Speed: under 10 minutes versus roughly forty-five for a coffee. Control: each piece is an exact 20mg, so you set the dose instead of guessing at a cup. And it is calmer, because the L-theanine takes the edge off the caffeine. No sugar, no liquid, no crash.
Start with one or two. Two pieces is 40mg, about half a flat white. Across a whole day four pieces is roughly one coffee's worth of caffeine, spread out and without the crash.
Chew it for about 10 minutes, like normal gum. Most of the caffeine releases through the lining of your cheek in the first 5 minutes and nearly all of it by 10, so the one thing that matters is not spitting it out too early. The watermelon flavour fades well before the focus does, and that is normal.
Source: Caffeine gum absorption review (Sports Medicine)Yes, that is most of what people use it for. The quick onset suits a pre-workout or a study block, and the L-theanine keeps the focus clean instead of wired, so you are not bouncing off the walls or crashing halfway through.
Yes. Plenty of people keep the morning coffee and use the gum to replace the second and third cups, where the jitters and the afternoon crash usually come from.
Caffeine sticks around for five to six hours, so it is the same rule as coffee: chew it earlier in the day and ease off through the afternoon if you are sensitive. It is not designed as an all-nighter.
100 pieces per bottle. At a few a day, that is roughly a month.
Per piece: 20mg caffeine, 30mg L-theanine, 0.3mg vitamin B6 and 0.75mg vitamin B12. Every dose is on the label. No proprietary blends, nothing hidden.
L-theanine is the calm half of the pair, the amino acid green tea is known for. It smooths out the caffeine so you get steady, clear focus instead of the jittery, heart-racing version. The two together is the whole point of the gum.
Watermelon, sweetened with xylitol. Sugar-free, vegan and gluten-free. It chews like normal gum, the flavour just fades faster than the focus.
No sugar and no aspartame. It is sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that happens to be friendly to your teeth.
Yes. Xylitol is low-GI with close to zero net carbs, so a piece of gum will not knock you out of ketosis. If you manage your blood sugar closely, have a quick word with your GP first.
It is caffeine and L-theanine at modest doses, the same as a cup of coffee with a calming amino acid. If you are on medication, pregnant, or sensitive to caffeine, check with your GP before using it.
In Australia, FSANZ considers up to 400mg of caffeine a day safe for most healthy adults. Each piece is 20mg, so a few through the day sits comfortably inside that. It is still caffeine, so follow the label, space it out instead of chewing a handful at once, and ease off if you are sensitive.
Source: FSANZIn pregnancy, FSANZ recommends keeping caffeine under 200mg a day, and it is sensible to limit it while breastfeeding too. Please check with your GP or midwife before using it. We would rather you ask than guess.
Source: FSANZNo. It contains caffeine and is made for adults. Keep it somewhere the kids cannot reach, the same as you would with coffee.
Xylitol is safe for people and is actually good for your teeth, which is why dentists like it. One thing to know: it is toxic to dogs, so keep the bottle well away from your pets.

Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun, with the lid sealed. Abitagum is sugar-free and sweetened with xylitol, so heat and humidity can firm up or soften the pieces. In summer, avoid leaving a bottle in a hot car or bag and it will stay at its best.
Sorry to hear that. Texture can shift with heat or humidity, including if a parcel was delayed and sat somewhere warm in transit like a hot van. If yours doesn't seem right, tap Report a problem in the Chewy chat, or reach us at /contact with your order details, and the team will make it right.
