Why don't Mastic Strong&Pure capsules contain anti-caking agents?

Because we care about the quality and purity of the product - mastic. When you take Strong&Pure, you are taking mastic gum powder without added ingredients. However, with this comes the complication of the possibility of the powder sticking together. Proper storage of this dietary supplement is essential.

Store Mastic Strong&Pure capsules in the refrigerator

Proper storage is essential to maintain the crushed mastic gum in the capsule. Exposure to higher temperatures (humidity) may cause the contents to stick together. Mastic resin is very sensitive to higher temperatures. Both mastic tears and capsules containing 100% mastic should be stored in the refrigerator (especially in summer temperatures) with the blister pack intact. We do not recommend unpacking them in other containers such as medicine boxes.

How to store the mastic gum properly?

Follow simple rules that will guarantee the original quality of the dietary supplement as it was produced.

  1. Store the mastic in the fridge or in a cool, dry place.
  2. Do not expose the resin to sunlight.
  3. If you find mastic powder stuck in a capsule, crush the capsule between your fingers. The powder will become crumbled again.
  4. Stuck mastic powder is not harmful.
