HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mastic Gum 500 mg by Best Naturals
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
This product contains one active ingredient: mastic gum powder, a traditional resin from the mastic tree. It's been used for centuries, especially in Mediterranean folk medicine.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin and contains inactive ingredients — maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which help bind and fill the capsule.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Mastic gum is possibly effective for dyspepsia, a term for indigestion or stomach discomfort. For brittle nails, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cancer, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate how well it works.
If you're thinking about it for one of those conditions, talk with your doctor about what the science actually shows and whether it's worth trying.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
When taken by mouth, mastic gum is generally well tolerated, though the safety data for supplement-strength doses are limited. Rarely, people have reported nausea, diarrhea, or constipation — one case of constipation resolved within two days of stopping.
There's not enough safety information to recommend medicinal amounts during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either situation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for mastic gum. Even so, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist before you start.
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 is a reasonable option if you're looking for something possibly effective for indigestion. It's generally well tolerated and has no documented interactions with medications.
Because safety data on supplement doses are limited and pregnancy/breastfeeding safety isn't established, run it by your pharmacist first, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition.
