MEG (Military Energy Gum) - Spearmint | Enhance Your Physical Performance with 100mg of Caffeine Per Piece, Ultimate Energy Boost for Workouts, Alternative to Energy Drinks | NSF for Sport® Certified - Pack of 24

I’ve been buying this gum for about 10 years. It is a great way to get the caffeine you need quickly and efficiently. The taste is okay though some of my friends have not been a fan. But hey, you’re not chewing it for the taste.

This gum is great! It does exactly what it promises--delivers a jolt of caffeine in a minty fresh chewing gum. The caffeine hits a bit quicker than a cup of coffee, more like you chugged your drink instead of sipping it. I love a good cup of coffee for leisurely mornings, but I prefer this gum for mornings when I'm up early to workout. Chew it while I'm getting dressed, and I'm energized and ready to go by the time I'm getting in the car. Coffee is a no go for me before the gym, dehydrating and it upsets my stomach. I've also replaced my late night energy drinks with this gum when stuck I'm working late. It's a good amount of caffeine, enough to wake me up but not enough to give me the jitters. I have pretty much replaced small cans of redbull 1:1 with a piece of this gum. The spearmint flavor is good. The gum does get a little bitter after a couple minutes, as noted by other reviewers, but I didn't think it was that bad, or really even that noticeable. Not nearly enough to make me want to spit it out or stop using this gum. I chew a lot of regular sugar free gum as well, which I have noticed can also can taste a little bitter after the flavor fades. If you're not paying attention, you probably won't really notice it at all. The bitter flavor fades and then its just like normal gum.

After reading a review that said: "I'm the type of person who uses caffeine as a drug to stay focused.....This destroys any other caffeinated products I've ever tried." I was sure that I had to try because I identified myself with this person statement about caffeine. I never drank coffee, I particularly don't like it, so I try to find options when it comes to caffeine because of its alertness effect on me. I tried espresso covered chocolate beans(love it), energy gels(useful for running), whey with caffeine and lastly Natures' Made Vitamin B chews with caffeine. Those all work great too, but they are not always easy to have on hand and the extra calories for chocolate, not the best options to be used every single day and several times a day as this gum. I found it to be excellent, fast acting, easy to have around: in your pocket, purse, "forgotten" in you car, any place that will require you to grab a dose of alertness . At first the taste is sweet as a sweet flavored gum, then it gets a little odd, sweet-bitter but not disgusting. On my first try I have to say that I kind of hate it and there was an after taste. I kept telling myself that I had made a mistake by purchasing a big box . But I also said that I was not willing to let a single piece of gum be the last word. So I decided to try it again in the next morning and right after the first minute of chewing it, I put another regular gum to chew it together. It did the trick very well and from now on I only chew it this way, with another gum. I use mint gum and/or sweet flavored such as Trident layers pineapple-watermelon and both disguise the little unpleasant taste. I haven't tried many energy drinks, the only ones I tried were red bull and 5 hours energy and they are both nasty and I am sure they rest is disgusting as well. If you want that boost of energy you should definitely give it a try. I believe that the gum is far less disgusting than energy drinks for the main reason that you do not have to swallow a ton of sugar and odd flavors, you can chew it for 5 min tops and spit it out and you'll feel energized. As I said, the extra gum does the trick of covering the bad taste if that is your main concern.

When I first saw this product, I thought that I was going a bit crazy for purchasing it. 28$ for caffeine gum? After trying it, I am a firm believer in it! I was a firm believer in caffeinated water, and I was unable to find it at a decent price. Therefore, I needed a cheaper alternative. I have never been a big fan of coffee, and I needed something that I could easily chew on at work while I am teaching. I ordered this to give it a try and WOW! Was I impressed. I have gone from zero energy and heavy eyelids to being mentally alert and able to function. I have had issues with getting the caffeine jitters in the past, and I did not feel jittery at all after taking this. I feel more mentally alert and able to focus on the task at hand, be it completing my ever growing stack of paperwork, sitting through long meetings, or a pick me up partway through the day. We have also taken this on road trips with us (we frequently drive 20 hours straight without stopping for the night), and my husband and I have agreed that it immediately wakes us up if we begin to feel sleepy on the road. Many people complain about the awful taste after chewing it for a few minutes. You are not required to chew it for very long, and eventually you get used to the taste. Not that I particularly like it, but I have learned to ignore the couple minutes of the less than desirable taste. I only took off one star because of a grittiness to this particular flavor. Maybe it is the pack that I received, but it was harder than the arctic mint that I originally tried and gritty as well. However, the flavor still works for me.

This caffeine gum has saved my career for far too many times to remember. According to the packaging, they've been recommended "safe and effective by the Committee On Military Research", and contain 100 milligrams of caffeine per piece. You chew 1 piece for 5 minutes, and if you aren't alert within 15 minutes of chewing, you chew a second piece. The warning here says to not exceed 2 pieces in 3 hours or 4 pieces in 24 hours. The gum comes in a box with 24 packs, 5 in each. The packs are opened by tearing, and resealed by folding over the teared area. The box itself is card board, and wrapped in plastic wrap. There is more than enough for at least 3 months, assuming that you aren't taking them every single day. Taking too much caffeine allows your body to gain a tolerance to it, which makes the product less effective. They have an acquired, bitter taste which takes some time to get used to (like coffee), but the bitterness fades. The texture of the gum isn't sticky like those from regular gum brands, these gum pieces fall apart after chewing. However, it doesn't take long to absorb the caffeine and dispose of the gum. The gum keep you awake and functioning for a majority for the day, and they've never managed to fail me. Be wary of the side effects of caffeine in general (like increased heart rate and blood pressure), and please make sure to follow their guidelines on how much to take. These can keep for years in a dry place. Overall, these durable, convenient, and safe caffeine gum pieces are the perfect emergency energy source for any late-night projects or work assignments you encounter. They work well, are easily stored, and can be carried for use anywhere.

I'm the type of person who uses caffeine as a drug to stay focused. My friend, who was former military, gave me a pack of these to try. Let me just say that the military money gets results! This was fact acting, small, and cheap. It works out to about $0.25 a cup of coffee- each gum has 100mg caffeine (5 pieces per packet, 24 packs per box). This destroys any other caffeinated products I've ever tried- it beats coffee for price and ease of use. It beats jolt gum cause it has 6x the amount of caffeine jolt does. It beats energy drinks because they are so expensive and loaded with TONS of sugar. These things are extremely portable- just carry in your pocket (they were meant for military!). Great for law enforcement to have in the war bag to stay awake in the field when you are stuck on a call or stakeout. A friend who is in vet school loves these cause they have to stay alert and study so much. To be honest, you don't buy stuff like this for taste. The first minute of these things you just taste the sugar and flavoring, but after that the bitter taste of the caffeine starts to be come apparent. The taste comes out slowly at first, and never completely overpowering, but anyone chewing this just to enjoy gum, and not as a tool to stay awake, would never chose this gum over any other gum in the world for flavor. That being said, the taste isn't terrible. I've had all 5 flavors. The Cinnamon is the worst, and unless you are a fan of big red or gum like that I would avoid it (I don't like Cinnamon flavor). IMO, the Spearmint flavor tastes the best at first (only slightly better than Arctic Mint), but then the caffeine is more noticeable with Spearmint in the end than with Arctic Mint flavor. Overall, if you are going for the best overall flavor experience I chose Arctic Mint. I cannot recommend these enough.

Let's first get past some of the myths of this product. First, the "research" they tout as supporting this gum's effectiveness as an energy product is from the manufacturers themselves. A bit misleading. The product comes in packs of 5 but the recommended maximum dosage is 4 pieces per day. Confusing? At any rate, the gum does provide energy fairly quickly and consistently. I don't follow the directions of chewing one piece for 5 minutes, waiting 15, then chewing another if I'm not alert. I go straight for 2 pieces and chew them both for 20-30 minutes until I'm feeling alert. And they do work better than coffee in my experience. One major downside is the flavor. Caffeine just doesn't taste good at all, it's very bitter, and the spearmint flavor is front-and-center for the first couple of minutes but then gives way to the bitter caffeine flavor for the next several minutes. Once most of the caffeine has been chewed out, it goes back to a subtle mint and behaves like most other gum, but my first taste was a disappointing one. Luckily I'm continuing on using the product. Bottom line, I will probably purchase this again when I run out, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for a better caffeinated gum.

This energy gum is great. Its not like other energy gum.that leaves an after taste. The flavor ladt long. And it helps you with energy. Easy piece has 100mg of caffeine. So make sure not to chew more than 4 pieces in a 24hour period. Each packet has 5 pieces. And I order the box that has 18 packets. The price is reasonable for the amount you get.

初めは甘く感じるけど次第に苦くなる 味は食べ過ぎ防止なのか歯磨き粉に近い薬っぽい味でした。 噛んでいる時は他のガムより集中できる気がします。

Un solo chicle tiene un efecto notable, excelente compra

Small amount of gum per piece so usually can't chew longer than 15 minutes. 100mg is good when needed although I am usually preferring product 50mg or less per piece. Not individually wrapped / sealed like other product so some odour does get out once pack is opened. Yes - I will likely purchase again when current quantity runs out. Will last me well over a year as I'm also using other caffeine gums.

Muy buen producto, cumple perfectamente su función
