HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mastic Gum 550 mg by Seeking Health
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, a resin from the mastic tree traditionally used in food and herbal medicine. Each capsule delivers 550 mg.
The capsule itself is made from cellulose, and rice bran is included as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Mastic gum is possibly effective for dyspepsia (indigestion and related stomach discomfort). For brittle nails, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cancer, the evidence isn't established — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Mastic gum taken by mouth is generally well tolerated, though supplement-strength safety data are limited. Nausea, diarrhea, and constipation have been rarely reported; in one case, constipation stopped two days after someone stopped taking it.
During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information — the data advise against medicinal amounts in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for mastic gum. That said, if you take any medications, you can verify them using the search tool on this page.
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 may help with indigestion. It's generally well tolerated at supplement doses, but safety data aren't extensive.
