Mastica reduces excessive gastric secretions, improves symptoms of stomach distress and promotes the health of the gastric mucosa. Mastica also demonstrates ability to inhibit the growth of H. pylori (one of the most common chronic bacterial infections in humans) as well as acting as an antibiotic against the bacterium.

Over 75% of cases of gastric ulcers and over 95% of duodenal ulcers are infected with H. pylori. It is also blamed for other gastrointestinal problems such as dyspepsia and heartburn and is a major cause of stomach cancer. Mastic gum has been shown to work against many strains of H. pylori. Chios Gum Mastic is the resinous material obtained from the Pistacia lentiscus tree which is grown on the island of Chios in Greece. Traditionally used as a health food in Greece, a recent study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine supports mastic gum’s contribution to gastrointestinal health.
