6 REASONS TO CHEW MASTIC GUM
The Legend Behind The Gum
On the Greek island of Chios, legend tells of Saint Isidore, a martyr whose sacrifice gave rise to a miraculous gift. Where his blood touched the earth, the mastic trees wept healing tears of resin.
For centuries now, mastic gum has been the treasured secret of Chios, known for its many healing benefits, distinctive flavour, and unmatched purity.
Martyr & Myth preserves this legacy by offering natural mastic gum, harvested from the sacred trees of Chios. Every chew connects you to history and nature’s healing power.

I had been hearing a lot about mastic gum and all its health benefits and finally decided to give it a try! It's a refreshing change from typical chewing gums and the fact that it's 100% natural resin makes me feel better about chewing it too. It does have a unique and very natural/earthy flavour, but it dissipates quickly and becomes a satisfying chew. It's become my go-to gum and I've also started telling family and friends about it!
This is honestly so good. I love the natural flavour and it does taste good! It last so long and also does a great workout for your jaw! For the price and the quantity you get I truly couldn’t be happier! Packaging is on point!Would make a great gift as well for anyone in your life! But also think this would be a great groomsmen gift, new father gift, great for the golf bag, great to put in your hiking bag…
I picked up a 40-gram tin of Martyr & Myth’s mastic gum, and it showed up fast. The packaging, with its skull and laurels, looks awesome—like holding a relic from the past. The gum’s earthy, resinous flavor is so refreshing, nothing like the chemical-packed junk you find everywhere. It’s pure, natural, and makes you feel good about what you’re chewing. Coming from Chios, Greece, where they’ve harvested it the same way forever, it’s like tasting history. As a Christian, the brand’s name and motto, “Either to Conquer or to Die,” really click, tying to Matthew 16:24 and the strength of early martyrs. It’s become a daily habit that keeps me grounded. Supporting a small business with a real story, especially as someone who runs one, feels great. Can’t wait to order more!
I Love the packaging! My order came earlier than the anticipated date which was great. At first it’s really crunchy but softens within a minute or so of chewing. It is a great workout for your jaw. The flavouring is not strong but tastes good, kind of like pine. Would definitely recommend!

I originally picked it up for its gut and oral health benefits, but I’ve noticed a surprising number of other positive effects too— including improved breath.The gum itself is firm (as expected with real mastic), but softens up after a few minutes and holds up well. It’s sugar-free, which is a huge plus, and I like that the ingredients are clean and plant-based.Honestly, I didn’t expect to be this into chewing tree resin—but here we are.
