A: Clevergum was born out of the idea of offering a viable and innovative delivery method of evidence-based and high-quality active ingredients, whether in elite sports, at work or in leisure, that help people reach their full mental and/or physical potential. The founders of the company are Prof. Dr. med. Florian Pfab, Frank Langer and Torsten Iben.
A: Clevergums are sold in the online store at clevergum.com and in well-stocked pharmacies.
A: We do our best to produce as sustainably as possible when making chewing gum, knowing full well that chewing gum mass is not biodegradable. Precisely because nature is very important to us, and also with a view to the added value that Clevergums offer people, we naturally experimented initially with biodegradable chewing gum mass and found that it could not be combined with the slow-release mechanism that is important for the release of active ingredients. We are continuing our research here and are striving to find a more environmentally friendly solution.
Our efforts do not end there either: Out of conviction and love for nature, we use purely vegan ingredients from organic production and strictly ensure that they are not products of animal origin and that no ingredients that are of animal origin have been added or used in processed or unprocessed form at all stages of production and processing.
We also offer Clevergums in bulk in recycled material for refilling and include notices in the packaging for our customers urging them to dispose of the chewing gums in an environmentally responsible manner.
A: Our chewing gums bring added value to enhance mental or physical performance via carefully selected and high-quality active ingredients in organic quality. Through the medicinal chewing mass, the ingredients are released gradually during chewing (slow release), where they land via the oral mucosa directly in the bloodstream and can thus quickly develop the desired effect. This means that even small doses can be absorbed by the body with high efficacy and without loss via the first-pass effect. The chewing gums thus offer a practical, everyday and well-tolerated form of food supplementation that has been proven to work.
A: One Clevergum sugar-free gum contains approximately 3 calories of nutritional value.
Exciting: When chewing gum, the body burns an average of eleven calories per hour. Vigorous chewers naturally have a somewhat higher consumption here, leisurely connoisseurs should reckon with somewhat less.
A: Sucralose and xylitol. Sucralose is a sweetener that the BgVV classifies as completely safe based on extensive studies on teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. After oral intake, sucralose is absorbed to a comparatively low extent and excreted almost unchanged. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is used as a substitute for table sugar. It has a similar sweetening power to sucrose, but does not cause tooth decay, has fewer calories and is also suitable for diabetics. Xylitol is directly effective against the bacteria that cause caries and is therefore also used to prevent plaque and tooth decay.
A: Our claim to optimize holistic well-being takes into account the connection between mind and body and all aspects of the person. This claim is reflected in the diverse expertise of our very heterogeneous team, consisting of professional athletes, ecotrophologists, (nutritional) physicians, molecular biologists and food chemists. They coordinate closely with each other in the development of Clevergums and carefully select only the best active ingredients that take this claim into account and are based on the current state of science.
The absorption of active ingredients via the oral mucosa and their rapid entry into the bloodstream have already been scientifically proven in many ways. To ultimately verify functionality, our products undergo quality tests and serum samples are also evaluated under medical supervision to check and ensure high bioavailability.
A: Clevergums are not only good for dental health, like conventional sugar-free chewing gums. They achieve the desired effect in the body on a mental or physical level via a well-thought-out formula of evidence-based and sensibly combined active ingredients, thus contributing to a better sense of well-being.
A: Clevergums are special chewing gums developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts on a scientific basis and manufactured under elaborate conditions in a clean room corresponding to pharmaceutical production in accordance with the guidelines of current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). They undergo a lengthy process in the process. In addition, they contain only active ingredients of the highest organic quality from reliable sources. All in all, it is a great effort, but one that is absolutely worth it in view of the great benefits that Clevergums bring, and one that all the employees at Clevergum are passionate about.
A: While in the production of conventional industrial chewing gums the chewing mass is heated, we press our Clevergums under high pressure and in a cold state, like tablets known from the medical sector. Production takes place according to pharmaceutical standards in compliance with the guidelines of current Good Manufacturing Practice. The many high-quality substances such as vitamins or phytonutrients that we use in the production process remain stable in their structure due to the "cold pressing" and can thus really unfold their effect in the body.
A: As with other chewing gums, excessive consumption can have a laxative effect. Likewise, consumers should make sure that they are not allergic to any of the ingredients. All the active ingredients we use are clearly declared and can also be found in a clear matrix on our website. Recommendations for use are based on the guidelines of the German Society for Nutrition and should be followed.
A: Clevergum offers a wide range of products. Depending on the area of application, the recommendations applicable to the product in each case should be observed.
A: Clevergums consist of a medicinal chewing mass enriched with valuable ingredients. These are gradually released during chewing and absorbed directly by the oral mucosa, where they enter the bloodstream. Thus, they can quickly achieve the desired effect.
A: Allergy sufferers should be aware of the ingredients contained in Clevergums.
A: Clevergums should always be stored in a dry, cool and dark place, otherwise they may lose their original freshness or change their consistency.
A: After about 5-8 minutes or so, the precious ingredients are released by chewing. However, if you still want to enjoy the taste and have fun chewing, you can of course chew Clevergums as long as he/she wants.
A: Of course. Out of conviction and love for nature, we use purely vegan ingredients from organic production and strictly ensure that they are not products of animal origin and that no ingredients that are of animal origin have been added or used in processed or unprocessed form at all stages of production and processing.
A: When using and consuming Clevergums, the dosage recommendations on the package should be followed. Otherwise, a combination is possible where it seems appropriate.
