Nutrients for the acid-base balance
A good balance between acids and bases is important for the metabolism to function properly. The body always tries to keep the pH in its parts stable by balancing acids and bases. But nowadays, things like eating a lot of meat, processed foods, stress or exercise can cause the body to produce more acids. This is where supplements can help to enable the body to maintain this balance... Read more

How alkaline products work
Food supplements that are intended for the acid-base level usually contain alkaline minerals and trace elements. These mainly include citrates, carbonates or hydrogen carbonates of calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. These substances neutralise too many acids in the body and thus act as a "buffer". Zinc in particular is important because it helps to keep the acid-base metabolism normal.
Help, not a substitute
It is important to realise that food supplements do not replace a diet rich in alkaline foods - such as vegetables, fruit and salads - but rather supplement it. They are intended to fill gaps in the diet if you are not getting enough from food. If the body gets a lot of acid, for example during sport or stressful times, these supplements can help to control the amount of acid.
To balance acids, the body draws on its own mineral reserves in muscles and bones. Alkaline mineral supplements can help to conserve these stores. Because the ability to excrete acids can diminish with age, dietary supplements can also help to maintain balance in old age.
To summarise, dietary supplements are a targeted method of improving acid-base balance and alleviating diet-related acidosis. They support the metabolism in maintaining an ideal environment, which can have a positive effect on general well-being and performance.
