Our Mastic Gum supplement is a traditional botanical extract obtained from the resin of the Pistacia lentiscus tree.* Potentially valued for centuries, it is now available in a standardized supplement form containing 12% masticonic acids.*
Modern research seems to be exploring its potential to help support microbial balance, including in the context of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common gut bacterium.*
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that may naturally inhabit the human stomach.* Even if the stomach is supposed to have an acidic environment, H. pylori seems to have developed unique adaptations that may allow it to persist in the gastrointestinal tract.*
It is hypothesized that a large portion of the global population may carry this microorganism without noticeable effects.* H. pylori appears to produce an enzyme called urease, which may help it tolerate acidic conditions by temporarily balancing stomach acid in its immediate surroundings.*
Current research seems to keep exploring the role of H. pylori in digestive health and microbial balance.* While its presence might be common, individual responses and outcomes may vary.*
Mastic gum may help support digestive wellness by potentially soothing the GI tract, promoting a healthy microbial balance, and maintaining the structure of the stomach lining.* Preliminary research seems to suggest that it may be of interest for those looking to manage gut health in relation to H. pylori, though more human studies may be needed.*
In fact, mastic gum may help:*
Note: while some studies appear to have explored the interaction between mastic gum and H. pylori, these findings are preliminary and not intended to suggest a specific effect.*
Mastic Gum may be a natural way to help support your digestive routine with plant-based balance and tradition.*
