How to Use pH Adjust Alkalinizing Formula

Fred Liers, PhD of Health Products Distributors, Inc. (HPDI) explains the concept of alkalinity and how to measure it while using pH Adjust alkalinizing formula.

pH ADJUST is formulated to effectively counteract overly acidic conditions in the digestive tract, blood, and kidneys; increase salivary and urinary pH to healthy levels; and to supplement the body with the minerals potassium, magnesium, and sodium. Healthy pH levels range from 7.35 to 7.45.

pH ADJUST contains (in powder form): potassium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, potassium glycinate, and sodium bicarbonate. Each serving (about 1/2 tsp) contains about 300 mg of bicarbonate, 260 mg of carbonate, 133 mg of potassium, 99 mg of magnesium, 48 mg of sodium, and 100 mg of glycine. It provides a potassium to sodium ratio of 3:1.

pH ADJUST is fluffy white powder that mixes into water, juices, other liquids, and foods. It acts rapidly to raise pH levels in the body. It is easy to use, mild-tasting, and highly effective for balancing pH levels. It is gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan/vegetarian, and contains no artificial ingredients.

pH ADJUST effectively counteracts acidic conditions, but also acts as as buffering agent. This means that while it neutralizes acids, it buffers overly alkaline conditions, as well. Consumable liquids that may be higher than pH 8.0 (very alkaline) can be reduced by pH ADJUST to the normal range of pH 7.4–7.6. Buffering keeps pH levels in normal ranges, neither too acidic nor too alkaline.

NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The minerals potassium, sodium, and magnesium are key substances involved in many important functions in the body. When combined in bicarbonates (potassium & sodium), carbonates (magnesium), and glycinate (potassium) these chemicals can help to adjust and balance pH levels that are crucial to body function. pH ADJUST provides a 3:1 ratio of potassium to sodium. This ratio keeps potassium levels relatively high with respect to sodium.

Processed food diets with a high protein and low vegetable content consumed by many people produce conditions in the body of acidity. This in turn leads to decreased oxygenation of our cells and a greater amount of anaerobic processes in metabolism. This leads to inadequate ATP (energy) production and the presence of unwelcome anaerobic cells and organisms.

BICARBONATE
Bicarbonate is a major element in our body. Secreted by the stomach, it is necessary for digestion. When ingested, for example, with mineral water, it helps buffer lactic acid generated during exercise and additionally reduces the acidity of dietary components. Additionally, it has a preventive effect on dental cavities. Each 1/2 tsp of pH ADJUST contains about 300 mg of bicarbonate.

Bicarbonate is present in all body fluids and organs and plays a major role in acid-base balance in the body. The first organ where food, beverages, and water stay in our body is the stomach. The mucus membrane of the stomach has 30 million glands producing gastric juice containing not only acids, but also bicarbonate. The flow of bicarbonate in the stomach amounts from about 24 mg/hr for a basal output to about 73 mg/hr for a maximal output. Thus, at least half a gram of bicarbonate is secreted daily in our stomach. This rate of gastric bicarbonate secretion is 2–10% of the maximum rate of acid secretion. In the stomach, bicarbonate participates in a mucus-bicarbonate barrier regarded as the first line of the protective and repair mechanisms. On neutralization by acid, carbon dioxide is produced from bicarbonate.

One serving (about 1/2 tsp) of pH ADJUST contains about 300 mg of bicarbonate.

CARBONATE
pH ADJUST contains about 260 mg of carbonate (and 99 mg of Mg) in the form of magnesium carbonate. Magnesium carbonate is used as an antacid that is converted to Magnesium Chloride (MgCl) and CO2 by stomach acid. MgCl is a well absorbed form of magnesium.

INGREDIENTS: Potassium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, potassium glycinate, and sodium bicarbonate.

DIRECTIONS: Take 1/2 tsp in 4–8 ounces of purified water preferably away from food, or as directed by a health care professional. For extremely acidic conditions, try 4–10 doses per day, depending on acidity level. Use pH paper to ensure pH levels remain balanced, and do not become too alkaline. 

Amount Per Serving (1g or 1/2 tsp):
Potassium (from KHCO3 & glycinate): 133 mg (2.8% daily value)
Magnesium (from MgCO3): 99 mg (24.8 daily value)
Sodium (from NaHCO3): 48 mg (2% daily value)

TEST pH LEVELS: The best way to test pH levels is to use litmus paper, which HPDI offers in rolls (Hydrion brand) for this purpose. You can test both salivary and urinary pH. Advantages of pH paper include rapid results, ease of use, and cost effectiveness.
