Mastic gum is useful for intestinal cramps, indigestion and heartburn. It also counteracts damage to the gastric mucosa caused by aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs).

Pharmacological Action

The applicable part of the mastic is the resin from the mastic tree. Mastic tree contains the following resins including the triterpenes mastic acid, isomastic acid, oleanlic acid, and tirucallol. For the prevention of gastic acid and duodenal ulcers, some researchers think mastic gum might have antisecretory and possibly cytoprotective effects. There is evidence that mastic extract has antimicrobial and antifungal activity. There is also preliminary evidence that mastic gum might have hypotensive and antioxidant effects.

Dosage Directions

Adults and children over 12 years of age: Take 1-2 capsules three times daily, or as advised by your health care provider. For the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection, mastic gum should be used for at least 4 weeks continuously. It is also helpful to continue with a lower preventative dosage of one capsule twice daily on an ongoing basis.
