How it works:
• Mastic Gum (Pistacia lentiscus): A resin rich in phenolic compounds that supports digestive health and antioxidant defense.*
• Gastrointestinal Support: In a double-blind trial, 1 gram daily for two weeks promoted duodenal tissue health beyond the upper digestive tract.*[1]
• Microbial Balance: A randomized controlled trial found that 1,050 mg daily over two weeks supported microbial harmony in the digestive tract.*[2]
• Digestive Motility: Supplementation with 500 mg twice daily (1 gram total) enhanced healthy digestive transit in a clinical study.*[3]
• Immune & Mucosal Health: Higher doses (2.2 grams per day) have shown favorable effects on the gastrointestinal immune environment.*[4]
• Cardiovascular Function: Clinical trials demonstrated that 1–2 grams daily supported vascular health and maintained cardiovascular biomarkers within normal ranges.*[5,6]
