How Long Does Caffeine Gum Take to Work?
Short answer: many people notice caffeine gum within about 5 to 15 minutes.
Why it can feel faster
Gum is chewed, not swallowed, so part of the caffeine absorbs through the lining of your mouth instead of waiting entirely on digestion. The rest is swallowed with your saliva and absorbed the usual way.
What affects it
- How long you chew
- Your own caffeine tolerance and body size
- Whether you've recently eaten
Everyone is different, so start with one piece and see how you feel.
How much caffeine is in a piece
Each piece of Instant Energy Gum Sour Apple Power Pack has 100 mg of natural caffeine from green coffee bean extract, about what's in a cup of coffee. It's sugar-free, with electrolytes from Himalayan pink salt and 25 mg of magnesium, and 15 pieces per pack.
Contains caffeine. Not recommended for children under 18, women who are pregnant or nursing, or people sensitive to caffeine. Not for pets: xylitol is dangerous for dogs.
