Finally it is here!
This is a product I have been looking for and I just recently found it. Most dogs with
cancer and also many dogs that have been on kibble for years are highly acidic. This is
an environment cancer cells thrive in. It is believed by many that cancer cannot survive
in an alkaline environment. This product is designed to bring the body into an alkaline
stage much better than sodium carbonate alone.
pH ADJUST may be used to 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.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
pH ADJUST may be used to increase salivary and urinary pH; counteract overly acidic
conditions in the digestive tract, blood, and kidneys; and to supplement the body with the
minerals potassium, magnesium, and sodium. The product contains (in powder
form)
•
potassium bicarbonate
•
magnesium carbonate
•
potassium glycinate
•
sodium bicarbonate.
Each serving (about ¼ tsp) contains about
300 mg of bicarbonate
260 mg of carbonate
142 mg of potassium
105 mg of potassium
48 mg of sodium
100 mg of glycine.
NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS:
The minerals potassium, sodium, and magnesium are key substances that are 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.
The processed food diets with a high protein and low vegetable content consumed by
many people in the U.S. and elsewhere 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, in turn, leads in 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 ¼ 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 the acid-
base balances in the human body. The first organ where food, beverages and water stay
in our body is the stomach. The mucus membrane of the human stomach has 30 million
glands which produce 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.
Effects of ingested bicarbonate: For digestion, bicarbonate is naturally produced by the
gastric membrane in the stomach. This production will be low in alkaline conditions and
will rise in response to acidity. In healthy individuals this adaptive mechanism will control
the pH perfectly. To modify this pH with exogenous doses of bicarbonate, some clinical
experiments have been conducted with sodium bicarbonate loads as high as 6 g. Only a
transient effect on pH has been obtained. It is quite possible that bicarbonate in water
may play a buffering role in the case of people sensitive to gastric acidity. Thus
bicarbonate may be helpful for digestion.
The most important effect of bicarbonate ingestion is the change in acid-base balance as
well as blood pH and bicarbonate concentration in biological fluids. It has been studied
particularly in physically active people. Among the types of acid produced, lactic acid
generated during exercise is buffered by bicarbonate. In a study on sports, a dose of 0.3
g per kg of body weight of sodium bicarbonate was given (15.25 g bicarbonate for a man
of 70 kg) to subjects before performing 30 minutes cycling. While blood pH was
increased and then maintained constant with this bicarbonate load due to the changes in
blood bicarbonate concentrations, increased acidity and decreased bicarbonate blood
concentration were observed in controlled subjects.
Prevention of renal stones: Bicarbonate also reduces the acidity of dietary components
such as proteins. As an example, adding sodium or potassium bicarbonate to subjects
on a high protein diet known to acidify urine and leading to hypercalciuria (high level of
calcium in urine) has been shown to greatly reduce calcium urinary excretion. The effect
has been observed with 5.5 g of bicarbonate supplement received daily for two weeks. A
recent study highlights that a bicarbonate-rich mineral water could be useful in the
prevention of the recurrence of calcium oxalate and uric acid renal stones.
Controls water absorption: many oral hydration solutions contain bicarbonate showing
the usefulness of bicarbonate to control water absorption in patients at risk of
dehydration.
Maintains blood pressure: Sodium intake is restricted in patients with hypertension, but it
is demonstrated that the accompanying anion, such as bicarbonate, plays an important
role. It is now well established that sodium bicarbonate does not raise blood pressure to
the same extent as do the corresponding amounts of sodium chloride.
Decreases dental plaque: Bicarbonate has been shown to decrease dental plaque
acidity induced by sucrose and its buffering capacity is important to prevent dental
cavities. Other studies have shown that bicarbonate inhibits plaque formation on teeth
and, in addition, increases calcium uptake by dental enamel.
CARBONATE
pH ADJUST contains about 260 mg of carbonate (and 105 mg of Mg) in the form of
magnesium carbonate. Magnesium carbonate is used as an antacid that gets converted
to Magnesium Chloride (MgCl) and CO2 by stomach acid. MgCl is a well absorbed form
of magnesium.
MINERALS
The functions of the key minerals in pH ADJUST are described below. Each serving
(about ¼ tsp) of pH ADJUST contains about 300 mg of bicarbonate.
POTASSIUM
Potassium levels influence multiple physiological processes, including:
•
Resting cellular-membrane potential and the propagation of action potentials in
neuronal, muscular, and cardiac tissue. Due to the electrostatic and chemical
properties, K+ions are larger than Na+ions, and ion channels and pumps in cell
membranes can differentiate between the two ions, actively pumping or passively
passing one of the two ions while blocking the other.
•
Supports hormone secretion and action
•
Improves vascular tone
•
Regulates systemic blood pressure
•
Increases gastrointestinal motility
•
Required for acid–base homeostasis
•
Supports glucose and insulin metabolism
•
Plays role in mineralocorticoid action
•
Supports renal concentrating ability
•
Regulates fluid and electrolyte balance
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium levels influence many physiological processes and functions. These include:
•
Increases energy by greater production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in cells
•
Supports production and function of over 300 enzyme systems in the body
•

SODIUM
Sodium levels influence many physiological processes and functions. These include:
•
Helps to regulate fluid levels in the human body.
•
Preventing sun stroke or heat exhaustion by replacing the loss of essential
electrolytes.
•
Supports brain function - the brain is very sensitive to change in sodium levels of
the body; deficiency of sodium often manifests as confusion and lethargy.
•
Along with properly hydrating the body, it is also important to supplement one’s
body with mineral-rich foods/supplements (including potassium, magnesium and
sodium) to prevent muscle cramps.
•
Is an important hydrating product that defends against the free radicals that
accelerate the aging process.
•
Helps to eliminates excess carbon dioxide in the body.
•
Helps to facilitate the absorption of glucose by cells, resulting in the smooth
transportation of nutrients in the body’s cell membranes.
•
Supports acid/base balance by altering the proportions of acid-base alkali
phosphates in the body.
•
