Functional-gum actives

The category of active ingredients — caffeine, L-theanine, melatonin, xylitol, hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, probiotics — dosed into or onto a chewing-gum base to carry a cognitive, sleep, oral-care or nutraceutical claim.

Where it's used

Functional chewing gum
Caffeine-and-L-theanine nootropic gum, melatonin sleep meltaways and hydroxyapatite whitening chews turn the stick of gum into an oral-delivery platform — Neuro Gum's DTC energy/focus line, Brew Chew's plastic-free whitening chicle, and Fertin Pharma's contract-manufactured nutraceutical gum built on specialty gum-base suppliers like Cafosa.
