I have heard this suggestion several times from different sources; giving your tortoise Tums for the calcium. Is there some advantage of this over giving a calcium suppliment or cuttlebone to gnaw on ?

I don't nor would I ever give Tums to a tortoise. Plenty of other perfectly good calcium sources out there to do that.
