Better than I expected. The reviews for this had me a bit nervous but it's a great product. Especially if you know and understand what you're buying. It shatters in your mouth at first and then gets kinda sticky and then comes together as a nice thick chewing gum, but you have to stick with it for a few minutes. If it doesn't come together and stays sticky adding in another pieces helps pull it together. The flavour at first is not great but it fades pretty quickly and becomes very faint and nice. The consistency is kind of like beeswax when you chew on honeycombs but more firm and longer lasting. This one can be chewed repeatedly over the course of a few days (it will shatter again when you leaving it and come back to it). We just make sure we brush our teeth a bit before we chew. On average I chew the same piece for 1-2 hours a day for 4 days. I bought this for my whole family to use (us parents and our three kids ages 13, 11 and 9) for our oral health, digestive health and as a jaw/facial exerciser. The kids didn't like it the first minute or two but then they really enjoyed it and chew it all the time. They chew it for 30+ minutes a day. After about 15-30 minutes of chewing I can definitely feel it in my jaw muscles. Great product!

I'll write a legitimate review here, because this is quite a cool product, and I quite enjoy its use. I learned from other reviewers that this product is sap from a tree which is grown in Greece. And that this sap is covered in sand is a testament to its traditional technique of collection--the sap drips from the tree onto the sand, and then the sap is collected from the sand. It feels historic and unique and natural to me, which I enjoy a lot. The first thing I did was popped about 3 pieces in my mouth, it was making a nice gum in my mouth as I moved it around, but it seemed a bit foamy, it didn't seem right. Ah--on the package it says to rinse each drop with water before using. Next I tried just two pieces--being conservative. With this amount, it didn't make as good of a gum in my mouth, but it was okay. I actually laid down and stopped chewing the gum for a while--this was a real mistake. The gum became hard again, and it was all broken up into many tiny pieces. After a while, I realized my tongue and mouth felt like they have many tiny cuts in them. Sure enough, those tiny pieces must be very sharp when they harden in this way, because my tongue and mouth were totally cut up. It took about 2-3 days to heal. This of course was annoying, but anyway I got some insight into what's going on in my mouth because of the pain from every movement. Next, I decided 4-5 pieces would be ideal, and it is. This quickly creates a good gum from the hard pieces, and I can chew it to good effect. Good flavor, and a good feeling in your digestive system. I saw that this gum does not "go bad", so I kept it inside of a folded notecard and chewed it for a while everyday. Then, it became a bit brown-colored, and I got 4-5 new pieces. Now, I am sure to spread the gum out in my mouth, and I actually use my bedroom fan to dry the gum off well, then stick it in my notecard. I also floss and brush my teeth before I chew the mastic gum. This surely greatly helps to reduce any bacteria-attracting content from being on the gum while I keep it in my folded notecard. Now--about the chewing. WARNING: The "TMJ" is known to be "the most complicated joint in the body". Not only complicated, it is delicate. And it is a very important part of your face. You don't want to be foolish or forceful when it comes to the act of chewing a tough gum to try to gain muscle, coordination, and better alignment in your teeth, mandible/maxilla, face, etc. Now, I don't really waste much time just chewing casually. I look in the mirror. Analyze my bite to see what I want to try to improve. Then I chew in the mirror, lightly editing my jaw movements, etc. to improve my bite overtime. If I were to do anything too forceful, I would feel a sharp pain in my TMJ from things being too out of alignment. There are a lot of muscles in your face, and there are many which are involved in a basic chewing motion. It is of course quite fascinating. I've found medical resources and 3D models to be the most efficient way to learn about anatomy. Before--when I was just casually chewing for an hour or so everyday, my right-side chewing muscles became so sore in a way that made me decide to not chew the gum again until it felt totally healed. Surely this would occur because of of alignment issues and muscle weakness, so I think it is the best choice for me, to stick to brief and intentional sections of challenging chewing to encourage my face to grow in better and stronger alignment. I appreciate this product. Cheers!

It is nut the gum that I was looking for. Too expensive and not worth it at all.

I’ve tried it before it was spectacular, recently there either expired or bought from a new supplier cause it’s just horrible plastic now like stick to your teeth nightmare, waste of a good thing for this brand. It’s cultural for me so I’ve tried mastic gums since childhood this stuff there selling now is some b.s. save your money this brand can’t come back from this now. Quality control if any should be replaced. Or some dentists bought the brand and yea…. Business is booming for them.
