Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sweeteners are used to make CHOMP Gums?

We do not use artificial sweeteners such as Sucralose and Aspartame commonly found in other chewing gums. Instead, we use sugar alcohols such as Maltitol, Sorbitol, and Xylitol, with a bit of stevia to give it just the right amount of sweetness, but not too much. We will never use artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose.

Is this a sugar-free gum?

Yes, this is a sugar-free gum, and instead of sugar, we use sugar alcohols such as Maltitol, Sorbitol, and Xylitol, with a bit of stevia to give it just the right amount of sweetness, but not too much. According to the American Dental Association, studies show that chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after a meal can help prevent tooth decay. We also never use artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose.

What is the ideal chewing time?

Ideal chewing time is 5-10 minutes to help pull the nutrients out of the gum, but feel free to chew it as long as you like!

 

Can nutrients be absorbed by chewing gum?

Yes! In fact research shows that nutrients, including water-soluble vitamins such as Vitamins B6, B12 and Vitamin C, as well as fat soluble vitamins such as Vitamin A, E and D, are increased in the blood of people who chewed nutrient supplemented gum compared to people who chewed gum with no nutrients (placebo).

What makes the gum functional?

Each gum contains a unique combination of nutrients to help provide a health benefit or to support a function in the body, to help you feel your best.

What is the gum base?

Our gum base is a high-quality European gum base that is made of a combination of natural and man-made food-grade polymers and waxes. A polymer is a string of molecules (monomers) that usually contain carbon and hydrogen. Polymers are found naturally in the human body, animals, plants, and minerals. In order to be food-grade, the gum base complies with strict international requirements and standards.

What happens if I swallow the gum?

Chewing gum in general is not meant to be swallowed, and functional gum is no different – so please try not to swallow your gum. However if you do, the Gum base is a completely inert, insoluble, non-nutritive substance, and if swallowed, it will not be metabolized. Rather it will simply pass through the digestive tract of the body and will ultimately be excreted.
