Best Naturals Calcium Carbonate Powder 1 Pound - Food Grade (16 OZ (Pack of 1))

You might be like me and could have an episode of heartburn from eating just about ANYTHING. You might also be like me in the sense that you're sick of taking Tums for it - nasty, chalky, bad flavors, etc. Plus, who wants to brush their teeth again at 3AM to get the sugar off their teeth after popping a few? That's not to mention the risk of erosion of the esophagus that can be caused by stomach acid coming up. That might even contribute to the risk of esophageal cancer - REALLY bad! This is just powdered calcium carbonate, the same active ingredient as found in most antacid tablets, except without the added sugar/sweetener and gross artificial flavoring. It readily mixes into water (or other liquids) without getting clumpy, just spoon some into your fluid of choice and briefly stir. Even just in water, the flavor is nearly imperceptible, with only a slight, not unpleasant mineral taste and minimal chalkyness compared to chewing an antacid. I just drink a little plain water afterwards and get back to what I was doing without the nausea-inducing, lingering flavor of artificial mint or cherry in my mouth. As another plus, it seems to work much quicker than an antacid tablet, since it is already suspended in liquid and mixes with stomach acid quickly. The only caveat is not to take too much at once, since the calcium reacting with your stomach acid creates foaming and gas as a byproduct, and can make you feel bloated and make food take longer to digest. These symptoms are nearly nonexistent if you take the recommended dosage, adding small amounts depending on your needs and then severity of your heartburn. I'm definitely a convert and I'm done buying Tums for good.

Exactly what I needed.

Great alternative to toothpaste. I use it along with organic mint oil, just mix it in the palm of my hand. Even when my teeth get a bit sensitive and I think a cavity might be starting, I use this consistently for a few days and my teeth seem to be healed. It must have saved me hundreds in dental bills! Also good to know what I'm putting in my mouth, much cheaper than natural, Florida free alternatives.

product delivered as described and promised.

Excellent works great especially in Oats.

So far, so good.

I purchased this calcium carbonate to make my own chalk paint rather than using plaster of Paris as I Ended up clogging my sink drain using plaster , so hubby was not happy with me 😒.. if you are a messy painter or crafter like I am , definitely try using this method, Not to mention, being able to save a little money on chalk paint is pretty awesome as well since it can be expensive. I still purchase chalk paint , but the great thing is that if you have a paint color that you love that’s acrylic or what not and you want it to be a chalk like finish , this product is for you ! 5 stars for me . Hope this review was helpful.

I got this as part of a home remedy to clean mineral deposits on porcelain and it didn’t work. I’m not sure if it’s the product or the remedy recipe so I gave it a 3-star satisfactory rating.
