Chios Mastiha Natural Resin 50g/1.76oz – Medium Tears | 100% Pure Chios Mastic Gum | PDO Certified | Natural Hard Chewing Gum | Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegan

Mastic gum came across my radar a couple years ago. I was always interested in it but never could justify the price of it. I really have no use for it other than extended chewing to keep my teeth clean and help with fidgeting while at work. as of a week into chewing this, I can honestly say I am very impressed with the product. Pros: -You can pretty much chew this indefinitely. You can take it out to eat or to take a break and throw the piece back in after and it was like you never left. -Really works the mastication muscles. I get that's why many buy this, and trust me it works. My jaw was sore (in a good way) after trying this for the first few hours. -The flavor has yet to go away while chewing. -It is a great alternative to other forms of chewing gum with questionable ingredients. Cons: -The gum is coated with an odd powdery substance that some say is not supposed to be there. I personally don't have any experience with this and cannot confirm it, but I guess it is a sign of older, not as fresh, mastic gum. - I drink a lot of water. ice water coming in contact with this gum in your mouth will turn it into a rock, and it will break like candy in your mouth. It will eventually return to the nice chewing form, but it can be annoying. I know this is not anything out of the ordinary for this gum, but I am new to it, and it was a less than delightful surprise. -Flavor: I personally enjoy it. It is a very natural, almost pine like flavor. It is not overpowering, but it is different. Some people will find the flavor utterly disgusting. If you are worried about not liking the flavor, I would suggest trying a naturally flavored option. -Price: It is nowhere near as cheap as the gum you would purchase at a gas station. It does last exponentially longer, but you will have to decide whether the price is worth it for you. Overall, I would say if you are looking to try Mastic gum for the first time, this is a great option. I will definitely be buying more.

Amazing product!

Nothing crazy. Doesn’t taste like anything for me. It’s a bit hard to chew at first but the more you chew it the easier it gets.

The taste isn't great but it is not supposed to be. I gave one star for taste so people do not buy this gum thinking it should taste any different. But the taste is not the reason for my low review. The gum is highly unstable. I followed the temperature management instructions and the gum became dust in my mouth. I was unable to get a proper chew. The dust would however line my teeth and create a rather strong bond. This item is not available for refund. I rarely write reviews. I would strongly advise not using.

It’s crunchy at first (like it should be since it’s tree sap) it has a low to medium flavor the gums quality is how it should be it helps your teeth too it’s a highly recommended product by me I’m not a professional or anything but I would 100% buy again

It's supposed to be 10x harder than regular chewing gum, but that's not been my experience. It's similar to regular gum that you've been chewing on for a while that's lost it's flavor and gotten a bit hard. The taste is a bit earthy, tastes a bit like dirt, but it's subtle and not that bad. It's comes out of the package pretty hard. Let it sit in your mouth for a while to warm it up, then you can chew it pretty easily. It starts out really sticky and it will get stuck in your teeth, but after a while it's not so sticky and you can chew it like regular gum. I probably won't buy this again because it's expensive and I can get the same results from a pack of Bazooka for way cheaper.

Definitely the real stuff. I do think it helped with healing my stomach. It is not soft. It’s hard as a rock and no chewing will make it not hard. That’s just how it is. The natural texture. The taste is very medicinal. It is a little pricey but you buy some for a long time. You need like a dime size work to chew at a time.

This is my first time trying mastiha for dental health. Haven't used it long enough to notice a difference yet, just want to add I notice some pieces are way softer and stickier than others, but unevenness is to be expected for a natural product. My tip is just feel it with your fingers and mix the harder ones with the softer ones, it takes two to three pieces to equate to the size of a regular piece of gum. Biggest pro for me is the natural flavor is mild but last forever, unlike regular gums. So you can save it for later.
