Oral-mucosal active delivery

Absorption of an active ingredient across the buccal mucosa during chewing, giving caffeine, L-theanine or melatonin a faster onset than a swallowed capsule.

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.
