Tums

Tums is a leading brand of antacid products used to provide fast-acting relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and sour stomach. Originally created in 1928 by pharmacist James Howe, the brand is now owned by Haleon, a global leader in consumer health. The primary active ingredient in Tums products is calcium carbonate, which works by neutralizing excess gastric acid in the esophagus and stomach. The product line includes various formulations such as chewable tablets, sugar-free options, and extra-strength varieties. Tums is one of the most recognized over-the-counter digestive health brands in North America and is manufactured at a dedicated facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
