What is a mastic?
Mastic is a resin that is extracted from the mastic tree, scientifically known as Pistacia lentiscus. This small evergreen tree belongs to the pistachio family and usually starts producing resin after about 5-6 years of growth. The resin is also called the "tears of Chios" because of its characteristic texture and appearance. It has been known as a healing agent since ancient Greek times and has been used in traditional medicine.
Mastic resin contains a rich variety of natural compounds that make it extremely valuable. These compounds include essential oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, acids and other active substances. These components give mastiha a number of beneficial properties and make it useful for health.
Effects of mastic resin include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is used in many fields, including cooking, where it is added to foods and beverages. It is also used medicinally to treat digestive problems, aid oral hygiene, and even treat skin conditions and wounds.

What is a peptic ulcer and what causes it?
Peptic ulcer is a disease that affects the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and usually develops in the stomach or duodenum. This ulcer is an open or injured area on the inner surface of this tract. Peptic ulcers are usually painful, chronic, and can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
An ulcer is caused by damage and irritation to the lining that covers the stomach and duodenum. This damage can be the result of several factors:
-
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori: The presence of this bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract is often a prerequisite for the development of a peptic ulcer. It can disrupt the protective mechanisms of the mucous membrane and cause inflammation.
-
Unhealthy eating habits: Eating too spicy or too hot food, using alcohol, nicotine or unhealthy foods can upset the balance of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and damage the lining.
-
Use of certain medications: Long-term use of certain medications can increase the risk of developing ulcers, as they can break down the protective lining of the mucous membrane.
-
Stress and mental factors: Excessive stress and a number of mental factors can contribute to intensifying the symptoms and exacerbation of gastric ulcer.
Action of the capsules in the prevention of the formation of gastric ulcers
-
Killing Helicobacter pylori: Mastic tree resin contains substances that help kill Helicobacter pylori or reduce its activity. The capsules will help prevent infection with this bacterium and the development of ulcers it can cause.
-
Normalization of the digestive process: Mastic resin prevents various digestive problems that could otherwise contribute to the development of ulcers.
-
Antioxidant action: Mastic tree resin contains antioxidants that can contribute to the reduction of inflammatory processes in the stomach and small intestine. This helps maintain normal mucosa and prevents damage that can lead to ulceration.
-
Improving oral hygiene : Prevents the development of bacteria in the oral cavity, as they, in addition to causing the development of dental plaque, can also contribute to the development of peptic ulcers.
