Chios Mastiha Tears Gum Greek 100% Natural Mastic Packs From Mastic Growers (50gr Medium Tears)

I bought this as a healthy alternative to chewing gum, and I will be buying more soon. If you're used to strong artificial chewing gum flavors, you will find this is very different. It tastes like ( because it is ) tree resin. The product arrived fresh, and in good condition, although it took a long time, all the way from Greece. It's a harder chew than standard soft chewing gums. I am an aggressive chewer; being hyper active, I enjoy chewing to help me think, so I like the added "resistance" of the texture of this gum. Some of the pieces are so fresh that they stick to my dental work, but after some chewing they settle down and don't stick any more. I did purchase another brand of much smaller pieces of Chios, and mixed a little with my Spry Xylitol gum, which worked out well. I love this so much that I don't mix it with the Xylitol gum any more. Although you might consider this gross - since it has it's own anti bacterial qualities - I often set it aside in a covered dish after chewing it for a while, and take it up again later. I have tried adding some essential oil of peppermint for flavor, but that turns it into an impossible sticky mess that you can hardly get off your teeth. Overall this is a fantastic product if you want a healthy alternative to chewing gums that are full of plasticizers, artificial sweeteners and flavorings.

arrived in 6weeks and 2days to Korea.Because of this delay, I contacted several times to seller and had great support.Product itself is unavailable to buy in Korea, that is why I ordered in here. smell is so good and fresh.really enjoyed it and will order again after I finish this pack.

Received in good condition.Original and natural mastic. Product is fresh and taste good.

I was hopeful. I imagined that I was helping local farmers while going straight to the mastic tree orchards of Greece. What I got was a small packet with a solid piece some sort of "substance." It looks horrible and it feels like a piece of hard candy. I wonder if I can repurpose it. To do that I need a hammer. I will probably lose a good portion of the product if I do that. It's not cheap. About $20 for a small packet (50 grams is a much smaller portion that I realized). I really thought I was getting a better quality product than the capsules that are available on Amazon. Boy was I wrong. Here, the processing of the raw product into capsules might offer better value and consistent quality. I am hoping the seller makes this right.

I chew on mastic gum. I think it helped to heal my stomach ulcer. I had bad acid reflux for a long time. I began chewing mastic gum and taking other natural things I got from the vitamin store. I just went in for my first colonoscopy and endoscopy and the doctor said that he couldn't find anything wrong. Before I started chewing mastic gum I googled my situation and found that I had all the symptoms of a stomach ulcer and probably h-pylori bacteria too.

Not too bad...

Good stuff for what God has provided through natural means for good health. I am so glad this product is made available through Amazon. Oh yes, and for as far as this product has to travel to get from Greece to the U.S., I was pleased to wait the understandibly longer mailing time. No unrealistic shipping time for me. God bless the seller for getting good, natural product. Thank you!

Great replacement for regular gum loaded with sugar or artificial sweeteners. Pleasant neutral flavor, semi stiff chew and overall favorable experience. I am a fan!
