Sugar-Free Mastic Gum from Pistacia Lentiscus for Oral Care *

Our Mastic Gum Elma supplement is a sugar-free, natural chewing gum crafted from Chios mastic – an aromatic resin derived from the mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus) of the Greek island Chios.* Blended with essential mastic oil, it might help promote Oral Care and encourage natural saliva production.*

The French Association for Dental Health seems to encourage the use of sugar-free chewing gums to potentially help maintain oral wellness between brushings.*

What is in Mastic Gum Elma ?

This formula features naturally derived ingredients:*

1. Mastic tree resin from Pistacia lentiscus;*
2. Natural sweeteners: xylitol (from birch bark), sorbitol, etc.;*
3. Essential oils: mastic oil and menthol, possibly known for their cleansing properties.*

Why Chew Gum Daily?*

Bacterial biofilm seems to be one of the key contributors to plaque accumulation on the teeth and in the mouth’s stagnation areas – which the tongue and saliva cannot easily get.* When left unmanaged, it could interfere with long-term oral balance.*

If brushing teeth regularly seems to play an important role in maintaining oral hygiene by potentially helping to reduce plaque buildup, brushing too often may lead to wear on the tooth surface over time, which is something to keep in mind for long-term oral care.*

This might be why chewing natural gum such as Mastic Gum Elma after meals may complement oral care by promoting healthy saliva flow – a natural cleansing mechanism that could support a neutral pH and discourage buildup.*

In fact, it may:*

• Help reduce contact time between sugars and teeth;*
• Support microbial balance, since saliva contains enzymes like lactoperoxidase;*
• Include lactoferrin, which might affect iron metabolism in certain bacteria;*
• Contribute to maintaining a less acidic oral environment.*

When to Chew Mastic Gum Elma?*

For optimal freshness and support, you can chew one piece for 20 minutes, up to 3 times daily, ideally after meals.*

Note: this gum is not a substitute for brushing or flossing, but a possibly helpful complement.*

How to Get the Most Out of Mastic Gum Elma?*

Chewing gum may help stimulate saliva production, a natural process that seems to play a key role in maintaining a balanced oral environment.* The quality of saliva can vary based on several nutritional factors, and low intake of specific micronutrients may affect its optimal composition.*

To help maintain already healthy saliva composition, it appears to be important to sustain sufficient levels of vitamin D (potentially known to support immune function) and calcium, which might play a role in helping to maintain normal tooth mineralization.* If you think you are not getting enough through your diet, you can consider supplementing with Vitamin D3 5000 IU and Calcium Orotate alongside Mastic Gum Elma.*

Some studies also appear to highlight the importance of other nutrients – such as vitamins B12, B6, K2, C, and omega-3s for potential overall oral and immune wellness.*

To help support your daily oral care routine, we recommend pairing Mastic Gum Elma with a few additional habits:*

• Brush your teeth twice daily, morning and night.* Manual brushing may be gentler than electric models, which might sometimes lead to enamel wear over time.*
• Eat fresh whole foods and try to minimize your intake of high-sugar or ultra-processed products such as ready-meals or fizzy drinks.*
• Consider taking oral probiotics such as Oral Health, especially if you are looking to encourage a balanced microbiome in your mouth.*
• Consider taking a daily multivitamin such as Daily 3 to potentially help maintain consistent micronutrient intake.*
