Lucy Goods is expanding non-stimulant energy gums with LUCY REVIVE, a caffeine- and nicotine-free product designed to support cellular energy without relying on traditional stimulants. The Mint-flavored gum combines researched nootropics and micronutrients selected to support energy and focus. Unlike compressed supplement tablets, REVIVE is manufactured using a traditional gum-making process, giving consumers a familiar chewing experience. Users can chew up to six pieces throughout the day, either alongside caffeinated products or as an alternative to additional coffee or energy drinks.
For Lucy Goods, REVIVE extends the company beyond its established nicotine portfolio and into the broader functional wellness market. Its gum format provides a portable alternative to drinks, shots and capsules while creating additional consumption occasions throughout the day. Launching direct-to-consumer also allows Lucy to introduce the product to its existing customer base while testing demand for future non-nicotine offerings.
