Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Clear spearmint flavor with a natural, cool bite; texture starts firm then softens into a tender chew. Commonly used to freshen breath after meals or during work commutes. Reviewers note a subtle, authentic taste and shorter-lasting intensity compared with conventional gums, while some report crumbling or fragile pieces occasionally too.
