Nutrients for the acid–base balance
For metabolism to work well, a good balance between acids and bases is important. The body constantly tries to keep the pH level in its compartments 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. Dietary supplements can help here to enable the body to maintain this balance... Read more

How alkaline supplements work
Dietary supplements intended to influence the acid-base balance usually contain alkaline minerals and trace elements. These mainly include citrates, carbonates or bicarbonates of calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. These substances neutralise excess acids in the body and thus act as "buffers". Zinc in particular is important because it helps to maintain a normal acid-base metabolism.
Help, not a replacement
It is important to know that dietary supplements do not replace a diet rich in alkaline foods – such as vegetables, fruit and salads – but complement it. They are intended to fill gaps in the diet when you do not get enough from food. If the body is exposed to a lot of acid, for example during exercise or in stressful times, these products can help to regulate the amount of acid.
To balance acids, the body draws on its own mineral stores in muscles and bones. Alkaline minerals as dietary supplements can help to conserve these stores. Because the ability to excrete acids may decline with age, dietary supplements can also help to maintain the balance in later life.
In summary, dietary supplements are a targeted way to improve the acid-base balance and reduce diet-related acidosis. They support the metabolism in maintaining an optimal environment, which can have a beneficial effect on general wellbeing and performance.
