"tums" is pH 19 - it needs to be alkalinic.
Also, mint is alkalinic and tums had a very definite taste of mint.
Tums react with acids from the stomach.
The pH of tums/rolaids should be pretty close to 10.
Tums contains calcium carbonate, which is an alkaline compound that helps neutralize excess stomach acid by raising the pH level in the stomach. When calcium carbonate reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it forms calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water, thus reducing the acidity in the stomach. This process helps provide relief from symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
The increase in pH would be 2, as going from a pH of 1 to a pH of 3 represents a change of 2 pH units.
I believe it is around an 8. What it does is helps to maintain somewhat of a "homeostasis" within your stomach, preventing upset stomach and what not.
No, But you can take Tums and Ambien! ;)
Tums is an antacid, basic.
Tums, which contains calcium carbonate, can increase the pH of urine but typically does not significantly impact specific gravity. Specific gravity is a measure of the concentration of solutes in urine, while pH measures the acidity. Drinking more fluids and certain medical conditions, like dehydration or kidney problems, are more likely to impact specific gravity levels in urine.
Put the TUMS tablet on a scale...
I saw there is a Tums for Kids ages 2-11.
I took 2 Tums at 4:00am. At 8:am my blood sugar was 206. Would this have been caused by the Tums?
