There is a new form of vitamin supplement popping up on vitamin shelves. They are in a form that one starts to chew then they just POP to break apart. PLEASE do not use these vitamin forms. Vitamin C as a chewable should not be used in the acid form by anyone with adult teeth. The acid will etch away tooth enamel.

Children and adults should be sure to brush teeth after taking gummy and liquid vitamins. But wait an hour to let dental enamal harded back up. article Drinking through a straw helps somewhat as time on teeth is reduced. And, oxidation of vitamins hasn't even been addressed either. ref
