Tums Antacid Peppermint Ultra Strength 1000

Tums is a widely recognized brand of antacid tablets primarily used for the relief of heartburn and acid indigestion. The product was originally created in 1928 by Jim Howe, a pharmacist in St. Louis, Missouri, who developed the calcium carbonate-based formula in his basement to help his wife's indigestion.

The manufacturing of Tums has a deep-rooted history in St. Louis, where a dedicated production facility has been operating for nearly a century. Today, while the brand has evolved under various corporate umbrellas, its primary production remains centered in the United States to serve the North American market.

Ownership of Tums has transitioned through several major pharmaceutical companies, including Revlon, SmithKline Beecham, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). As of the early 2020s, the brand became part of Haleon, a specialized consumer healthcare company that was spun off from GSK. Haleon now manages the brand globally, focusing on its legacy as a leading calcium-based digestive health solution.
