Mint Energy Gum 50mg Caffeine Taurine & B-Vitamins Per Piece, 24 Pieces (Pack of 12), 2 Pieces = 1 coffee or Energy drink, Sugar Free, Zero Calorie

Tastes amazing and the energy boost was fantastic. Definitely a buy again for me. If you don't like coffee this is one of the best ways to get caffine. I have a super boring church history class so I use one of these and it keeps me awake. Only one issue with two pieces of my gum then it just melted in my mouth it wasn't like gum at all.

I love love love this gum, it puts my workouts in to the high gears! I don't eat breakfast so this gum helps with suppresing my appetite as well. It could use some more mint flavor but the taste is still great. Thanks RUN GUM I will continue to purchase this product.

It definitely has caffeine in it, as I can tell my heart speeds up about 15-20 minutes after chewing it. I am not sure what effect this has had on my running performance, however, since several times, I felt like my heart was beating so fast I could barely breathe. With that being said, as many reviewers have commented, it tastes terrible. I only chew this occasionally before big workouts or races, but I'm not sure if I will continue. Also, pricey for what it is. Just chug some coffee. It tastes better.

I learned about the gum less than a week before my race. I received my package very promtly with a very nice letter explaining how this gum is different, what to expect and who to contact with any questions/concerns. The first time i used the gum was at my race on Sunday. Thanks to the letter, i knew what to expect in terms of texture and taste. But the gum really pleasantly surprised me! I enjoyed the taste (mine was mint). Sugary things do not agree with me during endurance races, but this was gum was just perfect! Just sweet enough and long enough, but not overwhelmingly. I expected a bitter taste but didn't experience it myself. After about 15-20 min, the freshness is gone and i think that taste may seem bitter to some, but I didn't think it was unpleasant. It delivered just the right amount of umf! I had energy throughout the race. I chewed 1 tablet every hour. I definitely will use this gum again and again! Thank you for this invention!

Ordered the mint flavor. The first five minutes of chewing are ok; you mostly get a minty, artificial sweetener taste. After that, it switches to what I imagine a car battery tastes like. It also gains a nasty grainy texture, which is really off putting for a chewing gum. To be fair, you do get a hit of caffeine and energy, but it’s not worth slogging through actually chewing the thing.

I don’t habitually use caffeine but do use it during races and some key workouts for the performance benefits. Caffeinated gels work ok but seem to negatively impact my gut and ability to take in 80-100g of carbs per hour for multi-hour events. Per some recommendations from other endurance athletes I gave Run Gum a try and so far I’m very impressed. It’s hard to describe but the energy you get from it just feels “better” than other caffeine sources with less of a crash at the end and no issues with my gut. Tried the mint flavor and while it does get bitter after a 5 minutes or so I found it perfectly tolerable. Texture seemed fine to me as well. I wouldn’t chew it for fun but for a tool to help you train and race effectively this is a great product.

When you first bite into these they crumble in your mouth and it makes it very weird. The taste is also not good. Mint is supposed to be refreshing but this just had a weird taste. The energy part worked great though

I must say it does what it intends too; took two pieces on a day I just was struggling to get moving to get a run in after yoga. After the first bite a wave of just awefulness hits your mouth; these a definitely not for someone who's more about taste over function as they taste awful. But this isn't my first rodeo and I'm all about will it do what I need it to do over the taste and it succeeded. I had a boost of energy and got a 5K in in record time. Problem is I couldn't keep chewing it during the run; not because I can run and chew but the taste is just bad and distracting. I honestly feel I did so well because mentally I wasn't willing to spit it out until I was done. Even with that mind set at mile 2 it had to go; like I said I have and still do take supplements that aren't the best tasting but get the job done. If you're willing to endure the taste this will work. I give it a 2 stars not for function; that's easy a four, but taste. This is not enjoyable at all and other than that quick initial boost not recommended for more than 5-7 minutes of use. And at the price point it's too expensive to give higher than a 2 star rating IMO. Hope this helps and to be fair I really did want to like this; I'm not bashing it to bash it. If they change the formula slightly to improve upon the taste a bit I'd give it another try.

Great effective stimulating chewing gum

Was really looking forward to trying this product. And with it being pricey I was looking forward to a high quality effective product. However, initial taste is ok; very subtle mint flavour. After about 1 minute of chewing the taste becomes awful; like what I imagine chewing on plastic would be. The texture is also very off putting;like rubber. Felt nauseous afterwards. Could only chew it for about 3 mins before the taste became too much and had to spit it out. If I tried to chew this mid race I think there would be a high chance of me being sick. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't buy again.
