Military strength gum for everyday use February 10, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I wrote this review after my 2nd order of this stuff and I must say that I'm practically hooked on the gum now. At first I was fairly skeptical since I've tried Mad Croc gum with caffeine and has to endure a horrible flavor the entire time but this gum was different in a couple of ways. First of all the gum is efficient and effective. I felt a rush of caffeine pretty quickly somewhere between 5-10 minutes of chewing with a slight head change. The product claims at 15 minutes 99% of the caffeine is absorbed but it seems like it might actually be quicker than that. However, this gum is not perfect and some people might find a few issues mainly with the flavor. The cinnamon only lasts until the first 5 minutes which means for the final 5-10 minutes of absorbing caffeine the only flavor you experience is bitter caffeine. A few people I spoke to mentioned it made their throats tingle but I assured them it would pass quickly. Everyone who stayed with the gum past the 15 minutes continued to chew it as it retains a pleasant but mild vanilla flavor of sorts. After the first piece you will get used to the bitterness in between and use the slight numbing effect it has on your tongue to enjoy what initial users won't like. Try this gum, don't spit it out, chew only 1 piece at a time (this was the second problem I saw most people have) and you will undoubtedly love this gum.
Just the thing to give a student a boost! January 19, 2008

I use stay alert gum to stay sharp during classes on days when I am particularly tired. It works well, and does its job quickly(within 5 minutes). It does not ,however, make me jittery. It literally works like a charm. The instructions say you can chew up to 2 pieces every 3 hours. I have never needed more than 1 piece. I have only used it for short bursts of energy when I must be completely present mentally, and never to stay awake for long periods of time. Since I am not a coffee drinker, I find it to be an excellent source of much needed caffeine.

I really like the Stay Alert gum. I tried the Penguin Energy gum, but this is much better. The first time I used it, I had to get used to the somewhat different taste, but I love the warmth of the cinnamon in my mouth. I keep it in my car, at work, and around the house. It is a bit more pricey than some of the other gums, but worth the cost. I plan to keep this gum on hand.
Easily the most effective (if least pleasant-tasting) form of caffeine I've ever ingested. June 8, 2007

Most forms of caffeine made to keep me awake have suffered from one or more of the following problems:
Eventual post-caffeination (and/or sugar) crash
Hyper-activity
Stomach irritation
Jitters
Ineffectiveness
Stay Alert has become my preferred form of caffeine quite simply because it suffers from none of these. It doesn't give me a buzz or make me feel wired. It simply keeps me alert. After taking it, I don't feel sleepy. Instead I feel perfectly awake and nothing more, which is precisely what I want. Also, it works for hours on end, is highly portable, and is cheaper than most other forms of caffeine. The only downsides are it's artificially sweetened and begins to taste bitter rather quickly. It's not meant to be chewing gum, though. It's meant to keep you awake, and it does just that. Further, considering caffeine is bitter by nature, the flavor's a small price I'm willing to pay.
