1. Does it work?

Absolutely - Nutra-Trim Gum contains ingredients that really help to increase metabolism and curb appetite. For more information, please take a look at our "How it Works" section, as well as our "Weight Management" overview section.

2. Is it safe?

Absolutely. Nutra-Trim contains only ingredients which are GRAS-approved ("Generally Recognized As Safe") and FDA-approved for inclusion in functional foods.

3. How does it taste?

Really, really good. Whether you prefer a breath-freshener or something to satisfy your sweet tooth, Nutra-Trim has it all. Nutra-Trim Spearmint delivers a cool blast of fresh mint flavor, and Nutra-Trim Berry will make you smile with its tangy mix of sweet fruit flavors!

4. I tried a weight management mint. How does your gum compare?

Nutra-Trim Weight Management Gum significantly outperforms the leading weight management mint. Not only does gum chewing itself have the effect of burning calories and satisfying the desire to chew, but Nutra-Trim contains several times more weight management ingredients. Just compare the serving sizes of your mints to our gum: you're getting more benefit from just two pieces of gum than you're getting in twelve or more of their mints!

5. I'm on the ______ diet. Will Nutra-Trim still work for me?

Definitely. Take a look at our "Weight Management" section: there we discuss how Nutra-Trim is a terrific compliment to any diet. Whether you're looking to cut down on calories, fat or carbs, Nutra-Trim can help to boost your metabolism and control food cravings, a proven aid to any weight management strategy.

6. How many pounds will I lose by using Nutra-Trim?

Here's a tip: any weight management tool, from an exercise program to a designer diet, that promises you you'll lose x number of pounds in a given period of time shouldn't be believed. The way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. That's why increasing metabolism and curbing appetite are so important. What Nutra-Trim Gum offers is a safe, easy, inexpensive way to add proven weight management ingredients to your daily routine. How many pounds you lose is up to you.

7. Is it sugarless? If yes, why doesn't it say so on the pack?

Yes! Nutra-Trim Gum is a sugarless gum. Bizarre story here - the FDA requires all products labeled "sugarless" to disclose on their packaging that they are "Not low-calorie foods," unless they meet certain very specific (but not relevant to chewing gum) criteria. Look at any sugarless gum package and you'll see the funny warning that they are not low calorie foods despite the fact that of course no one actually ever eats the gum. So, we decided not to put "sugarless" on the Nutra-Trim pack in order to avoid having to include a confusing message. For the record: Nutra-Trim Gum is low calorie with 2 ˝ calories per piece, and it's sugarless!

8. What will happen to me if I chew an entire pack at once?

You'll get more benefit… and have extremely fresh breath. The ingredients are absolutely safe and you could actually chew several packs. Bottom line, unless you currently suffer from a condition which renders you sensitive to Nutra-Trim's ingredients, you don't need to worry.

9. In which stores can I buy Nutra-Trim?

Nutra-Trim is available nationally at GNC nutrition stores and in the "GNC Section" of selection Rite Aid locations. It's heading to more store shelves every week, so keep an eye out for Nutra-Trim wherever you regularly shop.

11. Will you sponsor my 10k/bike riding club/fitness/other event?

We'd definitely be interested in hearing more about it. Please email info@gumrunners.com and share with us as many details as possible about your upcoming event. Please try to give us as much advance notice as possible.

12. Does Nutra-Trim contain ephedra or other harmful stimulants?

NO. Nutra-Trim doesn't contain ephedra, caffeine, or any artificial stimulant. Nutra-Trim does contain a small amount of guarana, an herbal source of natural energy. We included guarana in order to counterbalance any energy loss that may be accompanied by the decrease in caloric consumption resulting from a weight management strategy. The result of this is that most consumers will experience their energy level to be in a status quo, neither hyper- nor hypo- energized.

13. Is Nutra-Trim harmful for children to chew?

Nutra-Trim does not contain any ingredients determined to be unhealthy for children by the FDA. While we do not recommend Nutra-Trim for children (call us old-fashioned, but we think every child should have access to a balanced diet and a lot of fun exercise), it is not harmful to the typical child either.

14. What are the ingredients?

Nutra-Trim contains the active ingredients green tea extract (EGCG), l-carnitine, chromium picolinate, and guarana. The full list of ingredients is: Sorbitol, Xylitol, Gum Base, Mannitol, Artificial Flavors, Gum Arabic, Citric Acid, Maltitol Syrup, Glycerol, L-Carnitine, Green Tea Extract, Guarana, Colors: Titanium Dioxide - Red 3, Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Carnauba Wax, Chromium Picolinate, BHT.

15. I have an idea for a new gum/mint/candy/weight management product - can I send it in to you?
