About The Survival Tabs

The Survival Tabs are chewable emergency nutrition tablets made for the space where a normal meal will not fit.

A day’s serving is 12 tablets. That serving provides 240 calories plus 100% of the U.S. RDA for 15 essential vitamins and minerals. Each tablet is about 20 calories. They need no water and no cooking. Unopened, and stored as directed, they are made for a 25-year shelf life.

They are backup nutrition, not a full diet. Most adults need far more than 240 calories a day. The tabs are meant to sit beside water and other food in a go-bag, a car kit, a desk drawer, a boat, or a home storage shelf, and to cover vitamins and a measured amount of energy when a regular meal is not available.

What they are for

People keep them where bulk food is a bad fit: 72-hour kits, bug-out bags, vehicles, RVs, small apartments, and long-term storage. A short supply is light enough to carry. Larger packs are for a household shelf.

The current line is gluten-free and non-GMO. It contains milk ingredients, so it is not dairy-free or vegan. Flavors include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, butterscotch, maple, banana, and orange. Always check the package you buy for the current ingredient list, serving size, and storage instructions.

Once opened, use the tabs within the period printed on the label, about 90 days. Heat can soften them. Freezing does not.

Where the idea came from

The Survival Tabs were developed more than 30 years ago. The format was inspired by early research into compact nutrition for spaceflight, when storage space was tight and a meal still had to deliver vitamins, protein, carbohydrate, and fat in a small volume.

That is inspiration, not an endorsement. The Survival Tabs are not NASA-approved, NASA-certified, or used as current astronaut food. Government logos should not be read as a partnership.

The same limits that shaped the original idea still define the product: small volume, no preparation, a long unopened shelf life, and a known serving. The uses changed. The tablet did not become a meal replacement.

How to use them

Take the labeled serving. Do not treat 12 tablets as a day’s worth of food. Drink water. Add other calories when you can. People who are pregnant, have a medical condition, have trouble swallowing, or follow a therapeutic diet should ask a clinician before relying on any emergency ration.

The tabs do not replace water, medicine, or a varied diet. They are one layer in a kit.
