IFUS Intact Digest™ with Nutri-Mastic™ Reported to Demonstrate Efficacy for Customers Applying the Product Orally and/or Topically: Eczema

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

December 3, 2025

Napoleonville, LA IFUS:OTCID

Our customers are offering testimonials as to the efficacy of IFUS Intact Digest™ with Nutri-Mastic™ applied orally and/or topically. Below you will find one such testimony from a customer who applied Intact Digest™ topically to an outbreak of Eczema. However, we want of offer a bit of information prior to the photo. 

WHAT CAUSES ECZEMA or ATOPIC DERMATITIS?

Per the Mayo Clinic: “In some people, atopic dermatitis is related to a gene variation that affects the skin’s ability to provide protection. With a weak barrier function, the skin is less able to retain moisture and protect against bacteria, irritants, allergens and environmental factors — such as tobacco smoke. 

In other people, atopic dermatitis is caused by too much of the bacteria 

Staphylococcus aureus on the skin. This displaces helpful bacteria and disrupts the skin’s barrier function.

A weak skin barrier function might also trigger an immune system response that causes the inflamed skin and other symptoms. 

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is one of several types of dermatitis. Other common types are contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff). Dermatitis isn’t contagious.” 

Now to the photo provided by a customer who applied Intact Digest™ topically to an Eczema outbreak:

CAN ECZEMA BE CURED?

“There is no known cure for eczema, but it can be managed effectively with various treatments (Ref.1: American Academy of Dermatology Association): 

  1. Topical Treatments: Corticosteroid creams and topical calcineurin inhibitors are commonly used to reduce inflammation and control flare-ups. (Ref. 2: The American Academy of Dermatology Association) 
  • Moisturizers: Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for managing eczema. 

(Ref.1: American Academy of Dermatology Association): 

  • Immunomodulators: Non-steroidal creams that modify the immune response in the skin are often used when topical steroids are not effective. (Ref.1: American Academy of Dermatology Association): 
  • Lifestyle Changes: Avoiding triggers, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy diet can help manage eczema symptoms. (Ref.1: American Academy of Dermatology Association): 
  • Phototherapy: Exposing the skin to controlled amounts of natural or artificial light can be effective for moderate to severe eczema. (Ref.1: American Academy of Dermatology Association): 
  • While eczema can be a lifelong condition, with the right treatment and lifestyle changes, many people can manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. (Ref. 2: The American Academy of Dermatology Association)

Hence, our IFUS Scientific Team asked the question: Does Chios Mastic Gum affect atopic dermatitis? Here is what the science is suggesting: 

“Revealing the Potential of Chios Mastic Gum and Its Constituents for Cosmetic Applications through Chemical Profiling and Biological Evaluation: Chios mastic gum may have potential benefits for atopic dermatitis due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, but specific research on its effects for this condition is limited.

Potential Benefits: 

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Chios mastic gum contains compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, which could theoretically help reduce inflammation associated with atopic dermatitis. Inflammation is a key feature of this skin condition, and reducing it may alleviate symptoms. (Ref. 2) 

Antibacterial Effects: The antibacterial properties of mastic gum may help in preventing secondary infections that can occur in atopic dermatitis, where the skin barrier is compromised. This could be beneficial in managing the condition. (Ref. 2) 

Some studies suggest that mastic gum can promote skin health and may be used in cosmetic applications to combat issues like acne, which indicates its potential for broader skin-related benefits.” (Ref. 1)

Abstract: Chios mastic gum (CMG), the resin of Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia, is a product with great ethnopharmacological and economic significance. This study attempts to investigate, for the first time, the activity of CMG, its fractions and isolated compounds against specific enzymes, which play pivotal roles in the degradation of proteins contained in skin connective tissue. Initially, crude CMG was subjected to extraction, fractionation and isolation through different chromatographic techniques to obtain the acidic and neutral fraction of terpenes. Additionally, the characteristic and major active triterpene acids of CMG, masticadienonic and isomasticadienonic acids (MNA, IMNA) were isolated in pure form. All samples were analysed by means of High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) with four distinct development systems to obtain their constituents’ profile. Finally, samples were tested for their ability to inhibit the elastase and collagenase enzymes. According to our findings, for collagenase, a mixture of MNA and IMNA demonstrated the most potent activity with an IC50 value of 31.07 μg/mL, while for elastase CMG’s acidic fraction provided the most promising results with an IC50 value of 17.30 μg/mL. Overall, these results attempt to fill the gap in scientific knowledge about the use of CMG and its constituents in skincare and cosmetic products.

Abstract: Despite the remarkable development of the medical industry in the current era, herbal products with therapeutic potentials arise as attractive alternative treatments. Consequently, Chios mastiha, a natural, aromatic resin obtained from the trunk and brunches of the mastic tree, has recently gained increasing scientific interest due to its multiple beneficial actions. 

Chios mastiha is being exclusively produced on the southern part of Chios, a Greek island situated in the northern Aegean Sea, and its therapeutic properties have been known since Greek antiquity. There is now substantial evidence to suggest that mastiha demonstrates a plethora of favorable effects, mainly attributed to the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of its components. The main use of mastiha nowadays, however, is for the production of natural chewing gum, although an approval by the European Medicines Agency for mild dyspeptic disorders and for inflammations of the skin has been given. The aim of this article is to summarize the most important data about the therapeutic actions of Chios mastiha and discuss future fields for its medical application. 

The work published by S. Soulaidopoulos and team provides insight into the specific phytochemical compounds found in Chios Mastic Gum (See Table 1 below):

This leads the IFUS Scientific Team to beg the question: Are there specific biochemical pathways that are known to trigger Eczema?

“Various Pathways behind Atopic Eczema and Regulations: The development and progression of atopic eczema are influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, immunological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Atopic eczema has a strong genetic component, with mutations in the filaggrin gene significantly increasing the risk of developing the condition. These mutations lead to a defective skin barrier, making the skin more sensitive to allergens and immune system reactions. The overactive immune response, particularly through T-helper 2 (Th2) cells, releases cytokines like interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), which contribute to the inflammatory processes observed in eczema. Additionally, the skin microbiome can become imbalanced, with a reduced diversity of beneficial bacteria, contributing to inflammation and exacerbating symptoms. Maintaining skin hydration and using appropriate treatments can help manage atopic eczema by repairing the impaired skin barrier and reducing water loss.” (1 & 2)

One such biochemical pathway thought to trigger Eczema is the modulation of keratinocyte activation? 

“Keratinocyte activation is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema. Activated keratinocytes produce proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which play a crucial role in the inflammatory response and recruitment of immune cells to the skin. This interplay between keratinocytes and immune cells is critical for the development and resolution of inflammatory skin diseases, including eczema. In atopic dermatitis, keratinocytes exhibit impaired barrier function, leading to increased permeability and susceptibility to allergens and irritants. Targeting keratinocytes and their interactions with immune cells holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory skin diseases, including eczema.”

https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-29856-8_33

This begs one last question in this line of inquiry, that being: Does Chios Mastic Gum have an effect on the modulation of keratinocyte activation?

“Chios Mastic Gum (CGM) has been shown to have a protective effect against oxidative stress and to enhance autophagy in human keratinocytes. This suggests that CGM may have an effect on keratinocyte activation by promoting cell survival and preventing apoptosis under stressful conditions. The study indicates that CGM can help cells to survive by preventing apoptosis and enhancing autophagy, which are crucial for maintaining healthy keratinocyte function.” (1, 2, 3) 

Ref. 1: Risako Kishimoto, et.al. “Topical treatment with mastic (resin from Pistacia lentiscus) elicits anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic responses by modulating keratinocyte activation in a mouse model of allergic dermatitis,” Phytomedicine, Volume 91, October 2021, 153679, 

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0944711321002221

Results: Our findings indicated that topical treatment with mastic significantly ameliorated ear swelling, itch behaviour, immunocyte infiltration, and cytokine production. Histological evaluation confirmed the occurrence of anti-inflammatory responses. The anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects of topical treatment with mastic (3% and 5%) were further confirmed in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis which was generated by topical application of TDI in NC/Nga mice. Thickness of the back skin, AD score, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and itch behaviour were measured weekly, and immunocyte differentiation, cytokine determination, and histological changes were also analysed. Mastic treatment significantly attenuated the skin thickness, AD score, TEWL, and itch behaviour. Corroborated reduction was observed in the numbers of T cells and IgE-B cells, as well as in pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The reproducibility of the effects of mastic was confirmed with 1% mastic ointment in a setting similar to the AD mouse model. In vitro evaluation of keratinocytes indicated that mastic pre-exposure induced a significant dosedependent decrease in cytokine production.

“Conclusions and Future Perspectives: This article illustrates the role of keratinocytes in AD both as a benevolent barrier safeguarding against the pathogenic triggers and as a hostile contributor inducing allergic reactions. Impairment of the innate immune system and epidermal barrier function along with a rise in cutaneous inflammation serve as the major key factors behind the pathogenesis of AD. This emphasizes the role of keratinocytes, the innate immune cells of our skin, in AD. The prevalent treatments are directed towards suppression of the inflammatory reaction and consolidation of the barrier defense. A few targeted approaches, as mentioned in the article, point out the therapeutic importance of keratinocytes. Further insight into certain pathways activated by keratinocytes and the consequent cytokines released would facilitate the development of targeted therapy. However, the complexity of the symptoms and biological processes involved has hindered the process so far.” See Figure 1 and Figure 2 below:
