WUG Functional Gums is the first international company developing a wide range of functional products, based on the advantage that chewing gum allows for the active principle to be instantly absorbed by the body. The effects are noticed after 5’ compared to the 40’ required for any other standard product to work, such as drinks, gels, shots, tablets or bars, which require a digestive process to fully absorb the product.
3 years ago, during a trip to the USA, the founders of the company discovered that the Marines kept a caffeine chewing gum within their survival kit for special missions.
As on other occasions, the military sector became the lab of an invention, before it was made available to the general public.
Following several scientific studies which proved the effectiveness and instantaneous effect of administering caffeine through mastication (under the tongue), as opposed to the digestion process required by all other standard products and realising that energy chewing gum manufacturers were only focused on the military sector, the idea of making a range of functional chewing gums for the general consumer was contemplated.

Because when we chew, the active principles are absorbed by means the oral mucosa, and the effect is immediate. Any other standard products such as drinks, gels, bars, shots, tablets, etc. require a digestive process to fully absorb the product, which implies a delay of 30 to 40 minutes to release the effect that any of the products of the WUGum range provide.
R&D
I+D
The WUG project was born then, initially consisting of the development of an energy chewing gum for elite sportsmen, based on its two competitive advantages against any existing product until then, i.e. instantaneous effect and ease of use.
During the last two years, our R&D Department has been working on two master product lines:
1) Reducing the bitter taste inherent to caffeine by adding the healthiest and most natural sweetener in the market, i.e. Stevia, which makes it suitable for diabetics, as well as reducing the caffeine dose, by increasing the dose of Guarana, a natural source of caffeine of a less bitter type.
2) Developing a line of functional chewing gums to satisfy the needs of all consumers, with our patents and formulations adapted to the new consumption method, ensuring the highest quality of the natural products used in their making.

Caffeine is a stimulant to the central nervous system. Its intake generates an increase in the state of alertness, improvement of body coordination and reduces the feeling of sleepiness and fatigue, which can be translated into an improvement in performance.
Guarana is a natural stimulant and an excellent remedy against physical and mental fatigue. It extends the time of wakefulness and increases the ability to carry out work that requires physical effort. The properties of the Guarana seeds activate our nervous system and cause the body to segregate more adrenaline. This activates body and mind.
It stimulates the central nervous system, increases physical and intellectual performance, increases unspecific resistance to disease, reduces the frequency of disease caused by cold and fatigue. Has antidepressant effect. Another significant benefit is the capacity to reduce the cholesterol levels and sugar in the blood, thus reducing the fat content of the body. .

Fructooligosaccharides · Glycomacropeptides
INGREDIENTS
ACTIVE
Soluble fibre of high prebiotic value which helps blockade the absorption of fat and contributes to a visible flat abdomen. Avoids the fermentative episodes of the weight loss diets, which are rich in insoluble fibre (vegetables, pulse, etc…). It also contributes to regenerate intestinal flora and slow down the absorption of food during digestion, thus favouring the metabolic balance of fat and cholesterol.
The casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) is a bioactive derivative of the milk protein. It is a comprehensive protein of high nutritional value, which comprises a balance number of essential and non-essential amino acids.
From the functional point of view, it promotes the release of cholecystokinin
(CCK), which is an appetite inhibiting hormone, contributing to the feeling of fullness in the brain. As a protein, it is a source of energy and as a satiety agent and helps maintain weigh under control..
It stimulates the secretion of intestinal fluids in a similar way to food, but without the addition of calories, which makes the feeling of satiety very notable.

INGREDIENTS
ACTIVE
Maca is, apart from invigorating for body and mind, also a powerful aphrodisiac and sexual energiser. Research into its chemical composition has revealed that the Maca root contains a substance called p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which increases the female libido and helps solve potency issues.
The Tribulus Terrestris is considered to be an aphrodisiac. In the case of women, it can help with sexual desire disorders which derive from the reduction of oestrogen during menopause, while in men it improves sperm count.
Damiana is a plant originated in Mexico which is mainly known as a natural stimulant without toxic agents. It is effective in increasing sexual invigoration in both men and women.
The most recognised effect of ginseng is the stimulation of the libido on the sexual glands. In women, it stimulates the secretion of oestrogen, therefore women at the early stages of menopause will benefit from supplementing their diet with WUG Vigor. In the same way, it increases the natural levels of testosterone in men as well as the blood flow to the penis.
The use of Muira Puama in the short term increases the blood flow to the pelvic area, helping prolong the feeling of pleasure and orgasm in women, as well as erection in men. Long-term use increases the production of sexual hormones in both men and women. Muira Puama is an actual natural aphrodisiac and can be the most effective natural therapy for the loss of libido in men and women.
