Mastic Gum Reduces Stomach Discomfort

Mastic gum, a natural resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree of Greece, has been used traditionally by Mediterranean cultures to support gastrointestinal health. Source Naturals Mastic Gum Extract is standardized to 35% masticonic acids, which are the active compounds shown to support the lining of the stomach and the duodenum, and the body's own response to imbalances.

Mastic Gum Support Your Digestion
Source Naturals brings you the science of MASTIC GUM, the ancient Greek secret to naturally support healthy digestion. In research studies, mastic gum promoted a healthy stomach environment by reducing imbalances in the stomach and duodenum. Mastic gum may also stimulate increased production of your protective and soothing stomach lining.

Mastic Gum History
Mastic gum is a natural resinous gum harvested from a type of pistachio tree, Pistacia lentiscus. There is a legend that when Christopher Columbus was raising funds for his voyage to America, he promised to deliver four precious commodities: gold, spice, cotton and mastic gum. Historically, mastic gum was a prized commodity for many reasons. It was used as a flavoring in foods and beverages such as Ouzo. It was also an ancient Greek remedy used by physicians such as Hippocrates to preserve food, freshen breath, cure gum disease and tonify the digestive tract.

How Mastic Gum Works
In clinical human research studies, mastic gum inhibited and reduced over-production of foreign organisms in the stomach and duodenum. When digestive flora is imbalanced, mastic gum appears to work on foreign organisms by disrupting their energy production and then rupturing their cells. Some researchers also believe that mastic gum works by stimulating increased production of the protective and soothing stomach lining.
