My Disappointment is Immeasurable

Man, this was so close to being a perfect product. No sugar, no BS, ingredients that actually work, the theanine which alone has saved my life from anxiety, the actual B12 which is methylated, everything was going so well. Until you added sucralose. Which is a toxin which destroys gut bacteria and used in all the terrible energy drinks out there. It isn't necessary. You had stevia and monkfruit in it already.. I just don't understand why you add a toxin which affects so many people. It also prevents my medication from working because of its effects on neurotransmitters. I avoid it at all costs. So imagine my disappointment when I spent the money on it, they tell you about every ingredient but the one that ruins the whole thing. Take this garbage out and increase the price and I'll STILL pay it. Everything else was great..

Pricey, but works as desired

Works as described, caffeine kicks in pretty quickly, I felt the kick, in a minute or so after chewing, noticeably felt alert. Let's be real though, this gum tastes like a battery you pulled out of a cats ass. It does become more bearable after a minute or two, but the aftertaste is still there. I notice a very high hit of clove - sweetness isn't bad, again the gum is kind of foul, so the mint and sweet help to make it a little more bearable. I am in medical coding, and have recently taken three certification exams. the tests are long, almost six hours each exam, and in the past i have taken Monster energy drinks and coffee in with me, sodas what have you to stay alert, problem is, you then have to inevitably take the bathroom breaks that come along with all the liquid consumption. This resulted in me running out of time on the first and second exam, and having to resort to my all B strategy to at least have a 25% chance of getting an answer correct on the questions I couldn't finish. Not to worry kind reader, I passed both exams, but my most recent exam was the more difficult of the three and I decided to see if there was some Jolt gum or the like on Amazon, and stumbled on to Neurogum. I purchased this gum for use during my last exam, I figured if I could cut all the liquids, rely solely on the gum for alertness, and without having to take the pee breaks I could buy myself some extra time to spend on the actual exam, I ended up finishing my exam about 45 minutes early. I also got the bonus of the calming effect of the L Theanine - I can feel the difference, between just plain energy drinks and nodoz and the accompanying jitterness. I have the capsules of powder 200mg L Theanine and 100mg Caffeine that I also use at work, but I usally take one of those with a bottle of water, and I was trying to avoid the liquids, so the gum seemed ideal. The capsules are much much cheaper, so I wouldn't recommend this gum unless you were in a similiar situation to mine. a timed exam something similar. I do feel this gum was instrumental in getting me through without drinking coffee and the subsequent bathroom breaks that come along with the all the liquid. I did also pop a couple of pieces of gum in on the way back home. All in all, I wish it was cheaper, but it does work as described. I will definitely keep a pack in the car for road trips when I start to feel the miles getting to me and need a jolt to stay alert. All in all, I would buy again. Still have more tests to take, so yea... .

A robust alternative to a cup of coffee

I waited until I used a whole box of Neuro Gum before writing my review to make sure I had a clear impression of the product. Let's start off with flavor : I really enjoyed the minty and subtle sweetness of the gum, however it does have a slight bitterness to it which most likely comes from the caffeine. The bitterness was in no way overwhelming or a deal breaker but it should be noted that it's there and most likely unavoidable. The Texture of the gum was awesome, and it stayed soft and pleasantly chewable without getting hard like many other gums. Now onto what most people care about, the effects! I've always loved the combo of L-Theanine and caffeine so I was very excited to try this. I typically take a higher dose of both ingredients orally in pill form, but I was surprised to get a similar effect with neurogum despite the lower dosages! The sublingual absorption must really be helping here. Within about a few minutes Id get a pleasant boost in both mood and energy, with a focused sense of relaxation that I found very useful for times that I both needed a pickme up and something to take the edge off - for example getting through the end of a workday. I also liked using it after lunch as a healthier alternative to a cup of coffee to help stave off that dreaded post food drowsiness and help with digestion and absorption of nutrients with the B vitamins. Overall I'd highly recommend it, and in fact, I've already gotten a few of my friends and family hooked! I hope the Neurogum folks continue on innovating with their formulas and I look forward to trying future products from them.

Great tasting gum with a caffeine kick!

The gum tastes great in a cool, durable, and innovated packaging with pull tab. I was a little skeptical, but overall I'm glad I gave it a try! Gum Appearance: Its circular, about half an inch in diameter and quarter of an inch in height. Kind of reminds me of a large breath mint. Gum Taste: As soon as you put it in your mouth, it tastes like a breath mint.. but cinnamony. I was expecting it to have a coffee like taste (which would be weird for gum), but it didn't taste like coffee at all. I liked the taste and was not too sugary (Its 0g of sugar too, which I like!) Gum Caffeine: I wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing how it has about the same amount of caffeine as half a cup of coffee, it would take 2-3 pcs to feel a buzz. So having 1pc at a time feels like a more even flow instead of a big spike, followed by a big drop. So its probably a good thing. Packaging: Its slightly wider than some other gums, but not crazy big where it causes issues. The packaging is very fun and cool - something I'm not embarrassed to carry around. Its also very durable and innovated with a pull tab design I really liked. At first I thought it was a little gimmicky, but it did make it easier to get the gum out. I think I like the mint flavor a bit more, but the cinnamon is definitely growing on me. Overall, I can see me buying more of this.
