I'm sitting here looking at a bottle of Tums. These are antacids for your for your stomach. We don't use these much but like to keep a small bottle in the house for the occasional heartburn. We picked up some new ones and out of curiosity I decided to read the label.
The Active ingredient is Calcium carbonate.750 mg worth. In active ingredients include: Sucrose (sugar) corn starch, talc, mineral oil, artificial flavors (and colors) and sodium polyphosphate.
Take 2-4 tablets as symptoms occur... but not more than 10 tablets over 24 hours.
In addition to using it as an antacid you can chew two tablets a day (with a meal) as a daily source of supplemental calcium. Each tablet contains 5 calories (from the 2 grams of sugar) and 30% of your RDA of calcium.
