Great Gum to Help with Health Journey
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
This PUR Spearmint gum gets five stars from me. The spearmint flavor is really good and refreshing, but the only downside is the flavor doesn’t last super long compared to regular gum. Still, I bought this more for the cleaner ingredients than anything else since it fits into my current health journey and I wanted something aspartame-free. The gum has a little outer shell coating on it, but it’s still soft and easy to chew. It’s not hard or weirdly crunchy or anything like that. The family-size bag is also nice because it’s easy to throw in your car, backpack, or wherever without taking up a ton of space. Plus the resealable zipper bag helps keep it fresh. If you’re trying to avoid a bunch of chemicals and want a cleaner chewing gum option, this is definitely worth trying. I’d buy it again.

Good product
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Very soft and chewy, sugar free and has good flavor. It does lose its flavor around 10 minutes in but that's how long its meant to be chewed for anyway.

Great for your teeth and breath
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased this brand because it claimed to have no aspartame and was 100% xylitol. Xylitol is claimed to be a teeth remineralizer and I want fresh breath without all of the sugar. These are a nice, mild mint. Some mint gums make your eyes water they are so strong, this is definitely a nice range for me- did not make my eyes water but does give you nice breath. Flavor lasts a long time. I like it and I like that the pouch is resealable for carrying or the little chiclet style pieces can be placed in an aesthetic tin in your bag for on the go.

Perfect Keto-Friendly Gum, Clean Ingredients & Great Flavor!
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried so many sugar-free gums, and this is by far the best option for anyone following a keto or strict carnivore lifestyle. It’s aspartame-free, has clean ingredients, and doesn’t leave that artificial aftertaste that most gums have. The spearmint flavor is fresh and long-lasting, and I love that it helps satisfy cravings without adding sugar or unnecessary carbs. The texture stays soft longer than other brands, and the resealable bag is super convenient for keeping in the car, gym bag, or at work. If you’re looking for a healthier gum that fits perfectly into a low-carb, keto, or carnivore-focused routine, this is definitely the one to buy. Four stars only because the flavor only lasts about a minute.

Good alternative to traditional gums- no aspartame no artificial coloring.
Flavor Name: Spearmint, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
Love this gum, no aspartame, no artificial coloring and good taste, you get used to chewing it for a long time, the taste goes away little faster than traditional gums but I don't care
