Wonderbelly is an OTC Antacid That Prioritizes Your Health
References: wonderbelly & techcrunch
Wonderbelly is an FDA-regulated over-the-counter antacid that is 100% plastic-free, and allegedly has healthier ingredients than digestion competitor Tums. Wonderbelly Antacid is non-GMO, vegan, and contains beneficial ingredients like calcium carbonate, vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearate, maize starch, sucrose, and natural flavors. The product was designed with the help of several gastroenterologists, experts, and the expertise of founders Lucas and Noah Kraft.
The brand primarily distributes direct-to-consumer but has plans to expand to retail stores in the future as antacids are traditionally purchased in-store. The brand noticed a gap in the market for dietary supplements that did not contain any non-active ingredients like talc, titanium dioxide, and more. Wonderbelly also aims to expand its product base to include over-the-counter medications in addition to antacids.
