Acid/Alkaline and Your Body's pH
When your body becomes too acidic, it will attempt to compensate
by retaining alkaline salts in the bloodstream to offset the increase
of tissue acidity. Since your body can only tolerate a small imbalance
in blood pH, it will rob alkaline components from other places
including your body's precious alkaline reserves in an effort
to restore a proper pH balance. This can result in heartburn,
digestive distress, stomach upset, fatigue, and a multitude of
varying symptoms.
Commercial antacid products only alleviate the symptoms by blocking
the production of acid and can often produce unwanted side effects.
They alter your body's ability to absorb protein and calcium which
can then create the need for a calcium supplement to compensate.
The ingredients in Acid Defense however, contain naturally occurring
alkalinizing components such as calcium and magnesium that reestablish
a balanced, healthy, system-wide pH. It is safe for daily usage
with no known side effects.
The Important Role of Sodium & Potassium
If it were not for the presence of sodium making the tissue in
the stomach highly alkaline, the lining would be destroyed by
the hydrochloric acid normally produced in the stomach. The stomach,
intestines, joints, and ligaments are in constant need of natural
food-source sodium such as that present in the goat mineral matrix
in Acid Defense. Naturally occurring sodium is
not to be confused with the sodium from common table salt which
is processed with extreme heat using many chemical and bleaching
agents.
A Necessary and Beneficial Combination:
Potassium neutralizes acid wastes, and in combination with sodium,
maintains a healthy acid/alkaline balance. Potassium and sodium
are nearly always found together in the body and perform many
of the same functions. Second only to breathing and maintaining
a heartbeat the most important metabolic function our body performs
is to maintain a balanced pH.
The Foundation of Health
We believe that the very foundation of health begins with the
proliferation of beneficial flora in the gut. The probiotics,
live enzymes, and alkalinizing minerals naturally occurring in
goat's milk whey, along with organic vegetable juice concentrates
and our powerful Stomach Soothe N-imes Blend - together produce
a soothing effect, maintain a balanced pH, and promote the growth
of healthy flora throughout the intestines.
Ancient Wisdom - Fermentation
The whole food ingredients in Acid Defense,
are lacto-fermented and enzymatically pre-digested, utilizing
a proprietary natural process called Poten-Zyme
(Potentiation by Enzymatic activation). This ancient method of
bio-fermentation incorporates 14 strains of beneficial micro-organisms
and their enzymes into the foods, gently breaking them down into
their most basic elements.
Fermentation creates and liberates valuable medicinal compounds
within the foods including enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans,
phytosterols, and other phytonutrients - greatly enhancing the
nutritional value while making it easier to digest. This assures
more complete absorption and delivery of nutrients at the cellular
level.
