A member asked:
How much mastic gum is safe to take? would it be all right to take 3 grams per day or is that too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: There may be small benefits for a few indications, nothing worth significant investment. Note that genuine mastic is expensive, so most of the "Mastic" sold is actually counterfeit.
