About Mastic Gum

At VIGOR, we believe that the best solutions for our bodies have been hidden in nature for centuries. Our search for the perfect, natural way to enhance the jawline led us to one specific place on earth: the south of the Greek island of Chios. Here grows the Pistacia Lentiscus, a unique tree that produces a resin known worldwide as the "liquid gold" of the Aegean Sea.

The Tears of Chios

Mastic gum, also known as "Tears of Chios," is a 100% natural resin. Since ancient times, this resin has been harvested by hand by making small incisions in the tree's bark. The resin droplets that ooze from the tree harden in the sun and are carefully collected, washed, and dried. This artisanal process has remained unchanged for thousands of years and has even been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.

What makes Mastic Gum so unique is that this resin doesn't achieve the same quality and hardness anywhere else in the world as it does in this small Greek patch. It's a purely natural product, with no added sugars, colorants, or artificial flavor enhancers.

From Ancient Tradition to Modern Training

In ancient Greece, mastic was already prized for its healing properties for the stomach and teeth. Today, we're discovering a new, powerful property of this resin. Because mastic gum is up to ten times harder than regular chewing gum, it's the ultimate natural resistance training for your jaw muscles.

In a world full of soft and processed foods, our jaw muscles are increasingly less challenged. VIGOR restores their natural intensity. By regularly chewing our Premium Mastic Gum, you activate the muscles in your face and neck in a way that's impossible with regular chewing gum. The result? A firmer jawline, a fitter appearance, and a healthy dose of self-confidence.
