Tableted chewing gum makes using our proprietary direct compression process a better delivery mechanism for active ingredients and supplements than conventionally manufactured chewing gum. We make our own powdered gum, which allows us to custom formulate a chewing gum product that meets our customers' requirements – and we develop it quickly.

Chewing gum products have many advantages versus other oral dosage forms:

•  Fast acting: many times faster absorption than tablets or capsules

•  Convenient and discreet: does not require any liquid for swallowing

•  Widely acceptable and very familiar to consumers

•  High bioavailability of ingredients: avoid hepatic first pass metabolism in stomach and liver

•  Increased compliance in people with swallowing difficulties like geriatrics or children

Chewing gum products made using direct compression tableting offers significant advantages over conventionally manufactured gum products made using an extrusion process:

•  Active ingredients and supplements released faster

•  Active ingredients and supplements remain active unlike extrusion products that use high heat during the process which can inactivate the active ingredients

•  High content uniformity of active ingredients and supplements from tablet to tablet
