I'm really not a fan of the taste

I'm really not a fan of the taste, it's minty but there's another strange taste that's very strong. I couldn't get myself to chew past 5 mins (I googled how long I need to chew caffine gum) I suggest buying the 7 pieces tester pack to try it, I'll be saving the other pieces for when I don't have access to coffee and really need to use them.

Thank you for your review Jayden, we are currently working to update the flavour of our energy gum. The bitterness you experience is due to the caffeine in the gum which has a naturally bitter flavour. If you email us we will be sure to send you out a pack of our updated flavour when we finish development.

ultra runner from Derbyshire…

I am an ultra runner from Derbyshire and have used blockhead since it first came out. I needed something to stop my mouth from getting bored and dry from the hours of running and this hot the spot, plus the added caffeine was a bonus. I rarely take out fluids or gels when going for a run, but I do reach for my blockhead energy gum and always carry a pack with me. Great product that doesnt mess with my runs

I tried the Calm gum today

I tried the Calm gum today. Its very tasty and a good size but it does stick to your teeth a little. Meaning you have to try and pick it out. Think I would buybit again if it wasn't for this.

Hi Joe, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you liked the taste and size of the calm gum. We are continually working to improve our natural gum base technology and we will take your feedback on board when developing our next iteration.

Full marks for effort

Full marks for effort. Caffeine taste masking is tough and you’ve done a decent job. How about exploring the flavor encapsulation technology so the gum doesn’t turn bitter later on in the chew?

Great gum.

Great gum.
I never drink coffee, but definitely felt the effects of the gum when I used it before the start of work. Really kept me going. Also used it in a recents 10K race and was really effective and gave me the boost i needed.

I found it didn’t do anything for me

I found it didn’t do anything for me, no energy burst or extra energy of any kind. I felt like they were just like regular chewing gum. But then to be honest, I haven’t found anything that’s actually affected me to help with lack of energy of runs

Thank you for your review Stacie - The effects can sometimes vary depending on the caffeine tolerance of the user!

Nice. Tasty.

Discount offered to Asics race entrants, but only valid on 1 product!
Nice products, however too few items in a packet and packet non-recycleable.

I ordered the calm gum and caffeine gum, both arrived quickly in good packaging. The gum done actually work and I noticed the results immensely. The calm gum was really minting and tasty for a long time and well as the caffeine gum. However, the caffeine gums flavour wasn't the best after about 10 minutes.

Am I right that there were ten pieces per pack when I bought them a few months ago? Now it is seven...

Hey, you are correct, our old formula had 10 pieces per pack however we switched to 7 pieces when we improved the formula. This change happened about 1 year ago and we emailed our customers on our mailing list at the time to inform them of the change.

Bought my first 5 packs last week and am impressed with both the effects and taste. Read a few old reviews on here that the taste had changed for the worst etc but they taste great to me. Either the taste has been fixed or I’m just weird!? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Happy new customer. Will 100% be keeping packs of these in the car, in my gym bag, in my work drawer in future! 💥👌

Love the Caffeine one

Easy to order and delivery took about five days to deliver. I love the caffeine one but I thought I would try a mixed boxed to see how the others are. I have only tried the Lemon Vitamin one and quite impressed with the flavour. The caffeine one I have come to rely on with early starts at 4am in the morning it is an instant pick me up.
