Nicotine-Resin Complex
Nicotine-resin complex is the active ingredient in Nicorette Mint Gum. This ingredient is responsible for delivering nicotine to replace the nicotine in cigarettes. In order to receive the correct dosage of nicotine, it is important to chew the gum properly. The gum should be chewed very slowly so that the nicotine can be absorbed into the saliva. If the gum is chewed too quickly, the user will also experience an unpleasant taste.
Chewing Gum Base
Chewing gum base is used in Nicorette Gum because the product, like any other chewing gum, must have the consistency and stability to withstand repetitive chewing.
Additives
Also included in Nicorette Mint Gum is xylitol, sodium carbonate anhydrous and magnesium oxide. Depending on the strength of the gum, other ingredients may be included. The 2 mg product contains sodium hydrogen carbonate. The 4 mg product contains quinoline yellow Al-lake E 104.
Flavorings
Peppermint oil and menthol provide the flavor for Nicorette Mint Gum.
