Us vs other brands
Many mastic capsules add fillers, bulking agents or flow agents so the powder fills the capsule evenly. Ours does not need them. Inside every capsule is Chios mastic gum and nothing else.

Origin
Only from Chios
Mastiha is the resin of the mastic tree. Chios mastiha holds protected designation of origin (PDO): the name can only be used for resin from the island of Chios, Greece.
- Summer
- Growers score the bark and the resin seeps out.
- Weeks later
- It dries into clear tears that are gathered and cleaned.
- Then
- The tears are ground and filled into plant-based capsules.
