Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the label say "wet in mouth before chewing"?
This helps soften the tablet slightly before you bite down, which results in a smoother, less chalky texture and allows the active ingredients to start neutralizing acid even faster.
Is Foster & Thrive the same as Tums?
It is a "bioequivalent" generic. This means it uses the exact same active ingredient (750 mg Calcium Carbonate) to produce the same medical effect as Tums® Extra Strength.
Does this contain sugar?
Yes. Unlike sugar-free or sucralose-based versions, this product uses sucrose (real sugar) for a more traditional taste.
