HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mastic Gum 1000 mg by Jarrow Formulas
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Mastic Gum 1000 mg contains one active ingredient: mastic gum, a resin from the mastic tree that's been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Each capsule delivers 1000 mg of this ingredient in a plant-based capsule made with cellulose and water, along with small amounts of inactive ingredients for stability and flow.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Mastic gum is possibly effective for dyspepsia (indigestion and stomach discomfort). The evidence for brittle nails, cancer prevention, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is insufficient — meaning we don't have enough reliable data to know whether it works for those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Mastic gum taken by mouth is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety data at supplement doses are limited. Rarely, people have reported nausea, diarrhea, or constipation; these symptoms reversed when the supplement was stopped.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for mastic gum.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Mastic Gum 1000 mg may be worth considering if you're dealing with indigestion and want to try a traditional remedy with a decent evidence base. It doesn't interact with medications we know of, but pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should check with their pharmacist first.
Start with the dose on the label and watch for any stomach upset.
