Nice to chew. Gives your jaw a workout.
Good stuff. Very nice to chew and it gives your jaw a real workout! I got this shipped to me about two and a half weeks or three weeks after ordering it. It smells kind of like some kind of roots that would be used in chinese medicine and tastes like it came from some kind of tree, which it did. 100 grams will almost fill (3/4) an 8oz mason jar. The texture is very gummy you can chew a normal size piece for about 6 hours until it disintegrates. Also some pieces are harder than other and also harder to chew. I chewed two large pieces of mastic for about 9 hours the first day i got it and i could feel my jaw was quite sore. Its somewhat addicting to chew so now after chewing it for three days straight it really hurts to chew food, but i may chew more again today. It also seems to have some effects on the digestive system as i had diharrhea the day i chewed two pretty large pieces until they disintegrated and then i swallowed them. The taste is pretty nice actually and the texture is very gummy, it's almost indistiguisgable from a gum you would buy at the store except its on the harder side. Overall, 5 stars! very nice and a very pleasurable experience to chew it. Im looking forward to seeing what else this gum can be used for as well!!!!Update:After chewing this stuff for two months I've used about half and I have also burned some as incense, which I would only recommend if you like the taste of this gum as it smells pretty much the same when burned. I have noticed that my jaw has gotten quite a bit stronger as I can chew through one normal size piece (about 1-2 sticks of standard gum) in about 4-7 hours without my jaw getting very tired. Also, I've noticed when shaving that it is harder to get around the edge of my jawline than before and when I clench my teeth I can also see the muscles in my face are more defined and protrude more. I think over all my face has gotten more of a square look to it but i actually think it's an improvement.

STOMACH ISSUES BEGONE
BEST MASTIC GUM ON AMAZONIf you are looking for mastic gum on Amazon. This product is the best - in terms of both price and quality. I have used other products, but this is the least processed and authentic of all. I've tried the round pill form (highly processed), powdered pill form (not so genuine or effective), and powder form.MASTIC GUM ELIMINATED MY STOMACH PAINSI have frequented stomach pain for about 8 years. These pains often occurred by the esophagus and the right side of my stomach. I have had an endoscopy and various lab studies confirm H-pylori infections. I have a feeling that H-pylori had something to do with these on-and-off pains in the past 8 years. Fortunately, these stomach pains disappeared since I started taking these mastic gums. My diet has not changed. There is not a lifestyle change. I really think it is these mastic gums that made the difference. I would chew one piece for 2-3 hours and swallow it down with water after lunch. Sometimes I chewed on it just for the sake of it in the morning or evenings.INCONSISTENCY IN CHEWINESSSome mastic rocks (I call each piece rocks because of varying degrees of sizes) have super chewiness that sticks to your teeth. It's quite unpleasant because they are melted between your teeth and you can't get them out. What I do then is chew another rock hoping that it is a non-chewy rock. If it is a non-chewy rock, then the chewy gum attaches to the new rock. If it is another chewy rock and gets stuck in the teeth, then sip some cold water and start chewing on mastic gum. Cold water hardens the gum.Anyway, despite this inconvenience, I keep chewing on these because I know that these mastic gums are legit and effective at eliminating H-pylori infections. I purchased these for about $30, and it feels expensive, but they last a long time. It is lasting longer than the regular gums I buy.

Very very strong taste
This gum elicited a visceral reaction in me, it has an incredibly strong taste that reminded me of raw broccoli stem, gross. If you think it's going to be sweet and delicious, think again. Turkish falim gum is much more tolerable than this.

Fresh chewy mastic tears
This is a really good authentic mastic gum brand shipped straight from Greece. The box is labeled as being manufactured by the "Chios Gum Mastic Growers Association" and the pieces are fresh and generally large enough to be chewing gum sizes so you should have no problem chewing them.It does what mastic gum is designed to do. It helps get rid of bacteria and freshen the breath. The taste itself is odd and may take a little getting used to but once you do, it's not so bad and may become enjoyable.I am not sure if this will help with H. Pylori as I only bought it for chewing gum purposes. I was looking for a chewing gum that wasn't just sugarless, but contained no sugar at all and this was how I stumbled upon this product. I'm thankful that it's all natural and contains no extra preservatives or ingredients that are not good for your body. Since using it, I've noticed that not only does my oral health seems better, my entire digestive tract health and overall body health seems better. I have had mild acid reflux and heartburn in the past, but since changing my diet, I haven't experienced those symptoms as much. I've also had H. Pylori in the past, but do not know if I have it again now. Therefore, I can not attest to whether this product is effective against H. Pylori and the symptoms it causes. Anyways, regardless of its effectiveness in combating H. Pylori and bacteria, I will continue to chew this gum because I really do like the taste of it and the fact that it's sugarless.
