ABOUT

AFPI is well known for Mast Chew, a plant based, organic and sugar-free chewing gum. Our gum base does not contain the plastic or latex usually found in chewing gums. Rather it is Mastic tree resin. Mastic tree resin exhibits naturally occurring antimicrobial activity and has been used for thousands of years throughout the Mediterranean to keep the gut happy. The combination of xylitol, mint and antimicrobial gum base in Mast Chew cleanses the mouth and soothes the stomach!

GUM OF THE AGES
Gum from the Mastic tree is a viscous yellow/green liquid obtained from tapping into the trunk of the tree.
Archaeologists in 1982 found a late Bronze Age shipwreck with 100 jars of mastic that had been used by the Egyptians for medicinal purposes. The ancient Greek physicians Galenus in “Simpliciun medicamemtorum temperamentis ac faculatibus libri XI” and Dioscorides in “De Materia Medica” have described the medicinal properties and usage of mastic oil. The Persian pharmacist, physician and philosopher Avicenna (980-1037) prescribed gum from Mastic trees for abdominal pain, heartburn and topological infections. In the 13th century, Arab physician Ibn Al-Baytar prescribed mastic gum for upper abdominal pain, heartburn, gastric and intestinal ulcers.
Numerous peer review articles have been published on the biological activities and medicinal properties of the gum, some of which have been published by Dr. Sharifi.
