Dabos, K. J., et al. (2010). The effect of mastic gum on Helicobacter pylori: A randomized pilot study [Abstract]. Data regarding the anticancer activity of Chios mastic derive from a deteriorated number of in vitro and animal experimental studies with otherwise promising findings. More specifically, the hexane extract of mastic induces the apoptosis of HCT116 human colon cancer cells in vitro through a caspase-related mechanism [ 41, 42]. Mastic attenuates the expression and function of the androgen receptor, which has a central role in the development and progression of prostate cancer [ 43]. In addition to this, through the suppression of NF-κΒ activity and the NF-kB signaling pathway, mastic inhibits the cell cycle progression in prostate cancer cells [ 44]. An antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity of mastic oil was also demonstrated on human K562 leukemia cells in vitro [ 45]. It was also found to prevent the vascular endothelial growth factor, hence decreasing microvessel formation from mouse melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo [ 45].

It’s worth noting that probiotic mastic gum caused the pH of the saliva to decrease significantly, making it more acidic. Acidic saliva can lead to dental health issues, so probiotic mastic gum isn’t recommended for use in preventing cavities.Researchers in a small 2014 study looked at the effect of three types of mastic gum on both the pH and bacteria level found in saliva.
