Regularly chewing vitamin C tablets has been associated with the development of tooth wear. Our test returned a pH of 3.28 for popular children's supplement brand Nature's Way Kids Smart Vita Gummies Vitamin C + Zinc.

We also included samples of orange juice and cola – both commonly considered to be acidic – and several popular non-sour confectionery products for reference.
