Chew time matters: 5 vs 10 minutes of caffeinated gum changes caffeine levels
NCT ID NCT07386899
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how long you chew caffeinated gum affects how quickly caffeine enters your blood. Thirty healthy men chewed gum with 300 mg of caffeine for either 5 or 10 minutes on separate days. Researchers measured caffeine levels in blood samples taken over three hours to see if chewing longer changes peak caffeine or how long it stays high. The results could help people decide when to chew caffeinated gum for the best effect.
