Review: Awesome Alternative Chewing Gum - I bought this as a healthy alternative to chewing gum, and I will be buying more soon. If you're used to strong artificial chewing gum flavors, you will find this is very different. It tastes like ( because it is ) tree resin. The product arrived fresh, and in good condition, although it took a long time, all the way from Greece. It's a harder chew than standard soft chewing gums. I am an aggressive chewer; being hyper active, I enjoy chewing to help me think, so I like the added "resistance" of the texture of this gum. Some of the pieces are so fresh that they stick to my dental work, but after some chewing they settle down and don't stick any more. I did purchase another brand of much smaller pieces of Chios, and mixed a little with my Spry Xylitol gum, which worked out well. I love this so much that I don't mix it with the Xylitol gum any more. Although you might consider this gross - since it has it's own anti bacterial qualities - I often set it aside in a covered dish after chewing it for a while, and take it up again later. I have tried adding some essential oil of peppermint for flavor, but that turns it into an impossible sticky mess that you can hardly get off your teeth. Overall this is a fantastic product if you want a healthy alternative to chewing gums that are full of plasticizers, artificial sweeteners and flavorings.
Review: Good product! - This is a good, quality, product. There's no flavor to speak of but, it seems to leave a slight waxy film on my teeth which drives me insane lol. I bought it after researching bacteria in the stomach. It does settle the stomach.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So I’ve heard that the small tears are actually harder to chew, is that true? Also is this all hard tears, I hate the ones that stick to my teeth**
A: Yes, I'm finding that the small tears are much harder to chew. The bigger bag is all small, hard tears. I first ordered the smaller bag to test this product out and it was an assortment of large and small tears. There would be some softer tears that stick to your teeth that I would have to throw away, but I definitely liked the assortment better. The smaller ones I almost can barely chew at times.

**Q: are there any other ingredients besides mastic in this product?  thanks!**
A: This is a 100% pure mastic gum!

**Q: how to you take this?**
A: I chew it like gum, because the consistency is similar.  Instead of just chewing and then spitting them out, it is better to swallow them to acquire the good properties of the Mastic.  They are rather tacky, so if one has dental work, be cautious when chewing (the smaller "tears" are easier to chew).  The taste is rather "pine-like."  Hope this helps....

**Q: can mastic gum be put in water and drank?**
A: You can, but it will not dissolve in water.  They are hard resin pellets.  Your best bet is to chew them like gum.  If you want to swallow them to take internally, I would suggest getting the very small ones so you can take them like a pill (as they don't really reduce down just by chewing them).  Hope this helps!
