My husband said my breath has never been worse.

The only change in my life was the shot. I brush twice a day. Here's what's actually going on, and what you can do about it today.

Her words

If this is you, you're not alone.

"I'm grossed out by myself, I can taste and smell it.. and can't even brush my teeth often enough, drink enough water, eat enough mints to fight this."r/Semaglutide
"I even brushed my teeth and gargled with mouthwash and I'm stilling smelling it."r/Ozempic
"I chew gum but who wants to do that forever. I have never had bad breath like this before."r/Ozempic
"I have had MULTIPLE complaints and oh my god it's humiliating."r/Semaglutide

The part nobody explains

It may not be your teeth at all.

1. Less salivaDental researchers have reported less saliva in some people on semaglutide. Saliva is what rinses your mouth.
2. A slower stomachThese drugs also slow the stomach down. That's the part that comes up as a burp.
3. Brushing reaches neitherYour toothbrush cleans your teeth. It can't make saliva, and it can't reach your stomach.
What she tried

Why the usual fixes don't last

  • More water. "can't even... drink enough water." These drugs can turn down thirst too.
  • Brushing and tongue scraping. Clean teeth, same breath an hour later.
  • Mints and regular gum. "I'm eating more mints than I'm eating anything else!" The flavor fades in minutes.
  • Mouthwash. A rinse doesn't keep your mouth making saliva.
What chewing does

Chewing gets your saliva going.

Saliva is what rinses your mouth. Chewing gets it going. A mint melts away. A long, firm chew keeps going.

The 2026 Frontiers in Dental Medicine paper on chewing mastic resin

In a 2026 study of healthy adults, chewing mastic made more saliva than a plain wax chew.*

Assy et al., Front Dent Med 2026;7:1888616. 30 healthy adults, mastic resin vs parafilm. The people in it were not on GLP-1 drugs.

Why mastic

One resin from one Greek island

A real mastic grove on Chios, Greece
  • One ingredient: mastic resin from Chios (CHEE-os), Greece. Nothing added.
  • No sugar. No sugar alcohols.
  • A long, firm chew, not a mint that fades in minutes.
  • Fresher breath while you chew.
  • Hand-harvested on Chios, from PDO-certified suppliers. Packed by hand in Pennsylvania.
  • 100% natural.
And it's not just breath

What research on mastic found

  • In a placebo-controlled study on mastic, 77% of people with indigestion reported marked improvement, vs 40% on placebo.*
  • A clinical study on mastic found less upper-stomach bloating in adults with indigestion.*
  • A 6-month placebo-controlled study found mastic changed the makeup of the gut microbiome in adults with fatty liver.*
  • A placebo-controlled study on mastic found lower oxidized LDL, a marker of oxidative stress (antioxidant properties).*
  • Listed by the European Medicines Agency as a traditional herbal medicine for mild indigestion, based on long-standing use.

*Research is on mastic, not on Gum of Gods specifically. Forms and doses varied. None of these studies were done in people on GLP-1 drugs.

The Classic tin

Please don't change your medication over this.

Talk to your doctor. Gum of Gods is a food, not a medicine. It's something real to chew, so your mouth keeps working between meals.

Heads up: we've stocked out 12 times this year. Mastic comes from one island in the world, and supply is extremely limited.
Questions

Before you try it

Will it upset my stomach?

Many sugar-free gums use sugar alcohols, which the FDA says can cause gas and bloating. Classic has none. It's one ingredient: mastic resin.

Is it OK with my medication?

Ask your doctor or pharmacist. We can't give medical advice, and you shouldn't change your medication over your breath.

What does it taste like?

Classic isn't minty, and it isn't candy-sweet. Clean.

Is it for everyone?

Not for people with dental work. Mastic is a hard resin. If you have crowns, bridges, implants, braces or dentures, skip this one.

When will it ship?

Ships same or next day.

It was never your toothbrush.
