Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I remember hearing once that Tums should not be used for Calcium supplementation. since it is supposed to lower acid, chronic use would cause the stomach to work over time to secrete acids. I also remember noting that the lack of Vitamin D was not the issue because Vitamin D does not need to be consumed at the same time as calcium for them to work synergistically... I have already completed a medline search and came up empty handed. Has anyone else heard that Tums should not be used for calcium supplementation and was there a source credited? Thanks in advance Stocks, RD Univeristy of Michigan University Health Service 277 Fletcher Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
