Since the time of Hippocrates, the use of Chios mastic gum for digestive and oral health has been common practice. Mastic gum is a digestive agent; it may help improve digestive symptoms and mucosal healing with as little as two weeks of daily consumption. Chios mastic gum may help reduce upper digestive tract discomfort and may improve microbial balance, making the environment unfriendly for stomach bacteria that can lead to mucosal damage. Mastic gum also helps protect the gut lining fromdamage associated with NSAID use.

Mastic gum also supports lower gastrointestinal tract health, improving stool consistency and wellbeing. In humans, consumption of mastic gum has been shown to support healthy levels of lactoferrin, calprotectin, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein.

At doses of less than one gram daily, mastic may support normal, healthy glucose and cholesterol metabolism, while at higher doses, it may improve other markers of cardiovascular and liver health. Short term consumption of mastic gum may also improve kidney function and may help reduce vascular remodeling. In smokers, mastic gum may support healthy blood vessel function and normal vasodilation.
