COMPARISON
nula vs chomp gum — which calm gum is which?
chomp and nula are both chewable l-theanine gums, but they are not the same formula. chomp lists 100mg l-theanine plus vitamins b6 and c per piece, with no gaba on the label. nula lists 100mg l-theanine and 50mg gaba per serving, is caffeine-free, and is not a sleep aid. chomp's own page talks about sleep; nula does not.

two gums, two labels
both are chewing gums built around l-theanine. that is where the overlap ends, and the units matter before any other comparison does.
nula publishes l-theanine 100mg and gaba 50mg per serving. a serving is one to two pieces. chomp's product page, read on august 19 2026, lists l-theanine 100mg, vitamin b6 12mg and vitamin c 10mg as ascorbic acid, and tells you to chew one piece. there is no gaba on that label.
a per-piece number and a per-serving number are not the same measurement. anyone lining 100mg up against 100mg without saying so is comparing different units.
sleep is the other split
chomp's own calm gum page discusses sleep and melatonin in the surrounding copy. nula is not a sleep aid. it is a dietary supplement for occasional stress, caffeine-free, formulated for calm without sedation.
if what you want is a nighttime product, that is a different job than nula is built for. if what you want is daytime calm you can chew at a desk, the sleep framing is the thing to notice first.
price, pack and what each page leaves out
chomp's entry pack on that date was $6.99 for eight pieces. nula's entry pack is $30.80 for 56 pieces. those are different pack sizes and different price points; cost per piece is not the only number that matters, but it is the honest starting comparison.
caffeine is not listed on chomp's product page. that is recorded here as not disclosed — not as caffeine-free. nula states caffeine-free on its own label.
common follow-ups
not on the label read on august 19 2026. chomp lists l-theanine, vitamin b6 and vitamin c. nula lists l-theanine and gaba.
their product page does not list caffeine. that is not the same as a caffeine-free claim, so this page records it as not disclosed.
chomp's eight-piece pack at $6.99 is the cheaper entry. nula's smallest pack is 56 pieces at $30.80. prices were read on august 19 2026 and change.
