I'm on the fence about Quench Gum. Quench Gum (http://quenchgum.com/) comes in chunks, sticks and a sugar-free stick formula. I have been using it off and on for a couple of years and I can't decide how I really feel about it. I want to like it but I'm not completely sold on it. Here's why:
I don't know about you but when I run long distances, my mouth gets very dry even if I remain hydrated so the idea of a gum that could potentially keep my mouth from drying out was appealing to me. I also like chewing something while running. It relaxes my jaw which in turn, makes the rest of my body relax so I have a better run. Quench Gum comes in some great flavors and does help with the whole cottonmouth thing but only temporarily. I have timed it - the gum starts to get hard and stops moisturizing my mouth around 15 minutes after I pop it into my mouth. Then I have to toss it and dig another piece out of my trusty Spibelt. I might like the product better if it had a little extra packed in it - like electrolytes. If you have a few extra bucks and are curious about the product, give it shot. It may work better for you than it did for me!
Happy Trails!
