Mastix Medica currently produces tableted confectionery and supplement
products for many companies across a diverse industry spectrum.

Mastix Medica is one of the largest contract manufacturers of promotional and energy mint products in the United States. We have a number of in stock promotional mint products ready to ship to customers at any time. Custom flavors, sizes and shapes can also be created to meet a customer's requirements. We have extensive packaging capabilities that include bagging (vertical & horizontal), blister packing, cup sealing,
canisters, tin filling (vertical and horizontal)
and display boxing.

Mastix Medica has the ability to develop a range of specialized tablet products using its unique oral delivery systems. Among the items we can produce are vitamin-enhanced or supplement-enhanced chewing gums and specialized tablet products. We have an in-house professional project management team to take your product from concept to final production. We provide fast turnaround on custom formulations and specialize in developing challenging formulations that include dietary and nutritional supplement ingredients.

Tableted chewing gum made using our proprietary direct compression process offers a better delivery mechanism for active ingredients and supplements than conventionally manufactured chewing gum. We make our own powdered gum which allows us to custom formulate a chewing gum product that exactly meets a customer's requirements – and we develop it quickly.

Chewing gum products have many advantages versus other oral dosage forms.

• Fast acting via the buccal membrane –
  4 to 4,000 times faster absorption than
  tablets or capsules
  
• Convenient and discreet – does not require any liquid for swallowing
  
• Widely acceptable and very familiar to consumers
  
• High bioavailability of ingredients – avoid hepatic first pass metabolism in stomach
  
• Increased compliance in people with swallowing difficulties like children or geriatrics

Chewing gum products made using direct compression tableting offer significant advantages over conventionally manufactured chewing gum products made using an extrusion process:

• Release supplements and active ingredients faster
  
• Better medium for actives/supplements - high heat in the extrusion process can inactivate the active ingredients
  
• High content uniformity of actives/supplements
  from tablet to tablet – accurately delivers the amount of actives/supplements desired
