Wugum Uk company information, Employees & Contact Information

WUG Functional Gums is the first company in the world to have developed, patented and marketed an extensive range of functional products, It is based on the advantage that chewing gum allows for the active principle to be instantly absorbed by the body. The effects are noticed after 5 minutes compared to the 40 minutes required for any other standard product to work, such as drinks, gels, shots, tablets or bars, as they require a digestive process to fully absorb the product. Five years ago, during a trip to the USA, the founders of the company discovered that the Marines kept a caffeine chewing gum within their survival kit for special missions. As on other occasions, the military sector became the labortary of an invention, before it was made available to the general public. Following several scientific studies which proved the effectiveness and instantaneous effect of administering caffeine through mastication (under the tongue), as opposed to the digestion process required by all other standard products and realising that energy chewing gum manufacturers were only focused on the military sector, the idea of making a range of functional chewing gums for the general consumer began. Why A Gum? Because when we chew, the active principles are absorbed by means the oral mucosa, and the effect is immediate. Any other standard products such as drinks, gels, bars, shots, tablets, etc. require a digestive process to fully absorb the product, which implies a delay of 30 to 40 minutes to release the effect that any of the products of the WUGum range provide.
