TUMS Naturals Ultra Strength Antacid Chews for Heartburn Relief, Black Cherry & Watermelon - 190 Count

TL;DR: These chews taste great, work fast, and make calcium easy to stay consistent with. I’ve tried plenty of antacids over the years, and these TUMS Naturals in the black cherry and watermelon mix have become the ones I reach for without even thinking. The flavor is the first thing that won me over. They taste more like a snack chew than medicine, and there’s no weird chalk taste or artificial afterbite. I started using them for heartburn here and there, but what ended up surprising me is how useful they are for keeping my daily calcium steady. I’m already taking a good amount of supplements, so anything that makes one of them easier is a win. These fit right into our routine with no effort. You just chew one and move on with your day. The simple ingredient list is another thing I appreciate. No dyes, no artificial flavors, nothing odd. They work fast too. If I get heartburn from something spicy or heavier meals, these calm it down in minutes. I also love knowing they are gluten free and come from a brand that has been trusted for ages. There’s something reassuring about that. The texture is soft enough to chew quickly, but not sticky. They sit well on the stomach and don’t leave any coating or heaviness afterward. My husband takes them the same way I do, mostly for the calcium, and he swears the flavors make it feel like a little treat instead of something you’re forcing yourself to take. It’s small, but things like that help you stay consistent. If you’re trying to keep heartburn under control or just want an easier way to stay on top of calcium, these are worth having around. The big container lasts a long time, and we always keep one in the kitchen drawer because they get a lot of use. It’s nice when something simple just works the way it should. Tip: Keep a few in a tiny snack bag inside your purse or car so you’re never stuck without calcium on busier days. Hope this helps! =)

Not as tasty, but works just as well as regular Tums!

Sooo happy with this! Finally, no artificial stuff. I used to get the white peppermint flavor to avoid red 40, but these ‘naturals’ are fabulous. Thank you for giving customers options. Cost might be slighter higher but I’m fine with that to avoid the unhealthy ingredients.

These work quickly and very well but they taste like soap from my grandma's bathroom. Over all worth it for the great price.

I take this every so often because I have IBS-D... once in awhile I need a little - 'firming' action. Tums/calcium has always worked for me - so I take it. These chews taste good and are therefore easy to use. For whatever reason you might new tums, these are good option. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. I also refuse to 'change' my review for a refund of a product I have given a poor review - and that is offered from time to time. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). It's a shame they phased this rating system out because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,200 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including well over 26,000 likes. BOTTOM LINE: I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

I am allergic to stivea and it was had to find this antacid that doesn't have it! Yeah!!!

Pricey but I prefer to take natural antacids.

Frequently user of Tums. I like most flavors. Not sure I'm a fan of the watermelon and black cherry. Not bad tasting. I just prefer other flavors.
