5 Benefits of Using Caffeine During Your Workout

1. It can help you go faster & further.

Caffeine can help you work harder, increase your endurance, and make you faster. Studies have shown up to a 3% boost or more. 

2. It can increase your focus and concentration.

3. It doesn't dehydrate you.

Contrary to popular belief, caffeine doesn't appear to increase the risk of dehydration.

4. It can help you recover faster

Caffeine is a vasodilator and can help improve circulation by 30%, meaning more oxygen and nutrients are replenished into your muscles.

5. It absorbs faster through the tissues in your mouth

Though caffeine is widely available in many products including energy drinks, coffee, and soda, they all require you to digest something. You can get caffeine faster through sublingual and buccal absorption. What is that? It is a faster delivery method utilizing the tissues in your mouth. Begin feeling the benefits within a few minutes versus the 30-40 minutes it takes with drinks, shots or gels.*

75% of athletes in Olympic games and world championships consume caffeine before or during competition.

One of those athletes, two-time Olympian and Biochemist, Nick Symmonds, has successfully used caffeine for a performance boost in workouts and competition for over a decade.

"I cannot recall the last time I worked out without caffeine," said Nick Symmonds. "When I was studying Biochemistry in college, I learned about the many ways caffeine interacts with the body and the brain. It was the ideal legal performance boost to take with me to the track."

And that is exactly what Nick did. With the help of caffeine as an energy boost, he went on to win seven NCAA Titles, eight USA Titles, and make two Olympic teams.

But he always hated what it did to his stomach!

"I couldn't handle the harsh liquids in my gut from energy drinks and coffee before a hard workout and races," said Symmonds

So together with his coach, Nick began to look for ways to deliver the caffeine into his body without filling his stomach and quickly turned to chewing gum. Gum infused with caffeine would allow Nick to absorb it faster without having to digest anything.

Working with a team of expert nutritionists, coaches, and formulators, Nick took all the stimulants he loved about energy drinks and infused them into a piece of gum leaving out all the junk that left his stomach feeling like a bucket of water.

"I made the first batch just for me," said Symmonds. "But after seeing the demand from my friends, family, teammates and even fellow competitors, I knew we had to launch a business."

And so they created Run Gum — an energy gum designed to maximize your performance in sport and life faster than drinks and shots.

Run Gum Energy Gum comes 5 unique flavors and provides the same boost as energy drinks...just up to 5x faster.

Run Gum comes in five different flavors with each pack containing two pieces of caffeinated gum. The total caffeine content of one pack of Original Strength is 100mg, the same as your average cup of coffee or an energy drink. A 12-Pack box of Run Gum retails for $22.49 and is sold at RunGum.com and hundreds of retailers in the U.S, including Target and CVS.

Our founder, Nick Symmonds, created our original Run Gum Energy line. As a professional runner for over 12 years, Nick had unique insight into how to maximize performance on and off the track. Nick always said: “At the end of the day, you need to have the energy to accomplish more every day.”

“The biggest mistake that busy people make is complicating their training and nutrition,” Nick used to say. “In order to perform at the highest level, whether that is at the Olympic Games or at the office, is to eat right, train right and sleep right. And when you need a boost to help you through the day, a little caffeine is the best.”
