Mastic Gum, or Mastic, supplements contain mastic resin derived from the mastic tree Pistacia lentiscus. This substance has a long history of traditional use.
The powder from dried mastic gum is used in supplements for its beneficial effect on the stomach and digestion.
What is Mastic Gum?
Mastic gum is the English name for mastic gum. However, the Dutch name is not often used. Mastic gum (or resin) comes from the mastic tree Pistacia lentiscus that grows on the Greek island of Chios.
This mastic resin is different from the resin of mastic trees that grow elsewhere: it is not liquid but crystallized. A nickname of this aromatic resin is "the tears of Chios" which refers to a Greek legend.
Two other names by which it is known are Chios mastic and Mastica. These are all names for the same high-quality resin from Greece.
