People use mastic gum for a variety of health reasons. Though studies on it have generally been small, it does hold promise as a treatment for digestive and oral health conditions. Its antioxidant effects may also be beneficial for conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Instead, they absorb water and turn into a gel-like substance in your digestive system, which slows digestion ( 3). While xanthan gum is safe for most, there are a few people who should avoid it.

However, people should always ask a doctor before using mastic or any other natural supplements. These side effects do not appear to occur unless at least 15 grams are consumed. This amount would be difficult to reach through a typical diet ( 9). Having high cholesterol and high blood sugar levels can increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some small studies suggest that mastic gum could help people improve their levels of both. In vitro study shows that presence of guar gum significantly decreases the digestion of starch. It acts as a barrier between starch and starch hydrolyzing enzymes (Dartois et al. 2010). This can be dangerous for people who take certain diabetes medications that can cause low blood sugar. It can also be dangerous for people who are planning to have surgery soon.

Therefore, the FDA has approved it as a food additive and placed no limitations on the amount of xanthan gum a food can contain.

[ Google Scholar] One 2007 study found that chewing mastic gum may help prevent cavities. After 15 minutes, people who chewed mastic gum had lower levels of certain bacteria in their mouths. The bacteria levels were even lower after 135 minutes. A placebo did not provide the same results.
