Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- How does caffeine gum work?
- Chewing releases the caffeine to be absorbed through the lining of the mouth, which tends to take effect faster than swallowing a tablet, with no drink to carry. The gum is sugar-free.
- How much caffeine is in a piece?
- BLOCKHEAD makes a standard strength and an extra-strength gum, with different caffeine per piece. Check the pack and factor it into your daily caffeine intake.
- What format is it?
- Chewing gum in resealable packs — a pocketable alternative to gels, shots and drinks.
- Is it suitable for drug-tested athletes?
- Yes. It carries Informed Sport certification, so every batch is independently screened against the WADA banned-substances list. Caffeine is permitted in sport; the certification confirms no prohibited compounds are present.
