Cerez Pazari Natural Mastic Gum, Greek Chios Pure Resin, Sugarless Gum Made From Resin Of Mastiha Trees, Jaw Exerciser, Vegan, Non-GMO, 0.88 oz.

Edit 3/6/25: Considering I am in a 7-week botanical course currently with a famous herbalist & acupuncturist citing how Mastic was mentioned by historical figures, like Dioscaredes (books available here on Amazon & elsewhere), I decided to up this from 3 to 5 stars while I reading monographs on Mastic. I have been using tiny broken off pieces of the "teardrop" resin every day. Even citing some jaw issues below, I am enjoying this. I can not speak for long-term benefits yet. I recommend you do your own research on resin medicine, like Mastic. Considering this is chewed, it is considered generally safe for MOST people & can help support oral/GI issues & general health for MOST people. Not everyone will like this & some may have issues or bad reactions to this or any other product they try.Original review:3 stars for now. I might come back over time to edit if I see benefits or not.I recently saw some YouTube folks & articles discussing this for various issues & how it might help them. I decided to try it. I missed that it was a 25-gram package for less than $15. So the size surprised me right away.I do have some jaw issues, so I wasn't sure how great this would be for me, since I'm really not supposed to chew gum in the first place.I do enjoy a lot of pine-spruce-evergreen herbal teas & such, so I was intrigued if this would be a good flavor or maybe soapy or just a flat-out no.The piece I showed in my hand was easily broken off to try a small sliver. It was "just plain" at first, but then the slightly resinous pine flavor kicked in as I started to chew. For me, it is quite nice. I like it. I'm sure the flavor is not for everyone. This definitely should not be purchased on a "breath freshener" status alone.I was hoping that this would have some cross-over benefits like evergreen herbals do & maybe help a bit to strengthen my jaw muscles.As I type this up, it is getting a bit more difficult to chew. Reminds me of decades ago chewing gum in school & it just being quite rough after a few hours. My order was only delivered about 30 min ago, so there's no way this would last very long.In closing, I wanted to give this a whirl for my own issues I deal with daily & decide for myself it would be worth continuing to purchase in the future for long-term & occasional use.

If you are familiar with mastic gum, which I was not, maybe this stuff is great. As for me, I found it unpleasant to chew (not like other natural gums at all) and it stuck to my teeth, so then tried to put it in smoothies by breaking it down with a mortar and pestle, and that didn't work either. Expensive for a little bit. And who knows if the purported health benefits are for real?

First, taste is subjective but if you're looking at this gum you're probably not here for the taste anyway. IMO it's fine. Not good tasting but not bad. Second, refrigerator storage may help if they're melted together but otherwise, it's not necessary. The best way to begin chewing without it sticking to your teeth is to let it soften a bit in your mouth, then slowly and softly chew, roughly shaping it until it warms up and becomes chewable.Third, I get the value for how much come in the package but after chewing on a piece for a few hours my jaw needs a rest. It's a workout so unless you have a chiseled jaw, you're probably not going to want to chew this all day long. And because no one is chewing this for the flavor, there's no need to use multiple pieces a day. Indeed, I have let my gum dry out, put it in a container and chewed it again a few days later. No change in consistency or flavor.

“Far left piece of normal gum used as a reference for size”.Note you must place this mastic gum In your lip like chewing tobacco for a minute or so until the gum becomes hard. Once hard you can chew and it does not get stuck to your teeth. If you do not do this step you will have this gum stuck to every tooth, filling, and crevice in your mouth.Also, note this product has a very unique taste and does not taste particularly good. This gum is to strengthen your jaw not to taste good.If you are truly interested in strengthening your jaw this will help but if you cannot take the bad taste this product will not be for you.Non returnable which makes sense since you need to break the seal to open.

Very good quality, follow the instructions. It's not regular chewing gum. It's great for digestive issues.

Bought this back in the day when it came in a brown bag, pretty good gum if you're like me and just needed something tougher to chew on if you constantly grit your teeth from stress. You will notice it's like glass right out of the bag. DO NOT CHEW IT RIGHT AWAY - you will either hurt yourself or it'll turn to sap tasting dust in your mouth. place a normal piece in your mouth and let it warm up. it'll be unpleasant at first as the unflavored one you have to get used to. after a while you can slowly mold it and it'll be just a really tough gum to chew if youre into that.

It’s a super tiny bag that you get, and the taste is not pleasant at all. It’s literally like licking a tree. No returns available, don’t buy. There are better brands out there.

Flavor is interesting and I like that aspect of it, but the gum itself isn’t terribly firm, and the package is actually quite tiny. Save yourself the money and skip this one if you’re looking for a jaw workout
