  Acid Zapper Granules should be used in your acidic sports and electrolyte replacement products such as Gatorade, Nuun or Emer'gen-C. These products typically have pH levels from 2.9 to 4.3 as supplied and mixed. By adding ¼ level teaspoon (1100 mg) of Acid Zapper granules to an 8oz. serving of drink, the pH increases by at least 2 pH units neutralizing about 99% of the acid in the drink. The addition of the granules will also make the drink seem a little sweeter since sugar is used in many drinks to reduce the strong acid taste.
What are the effects of these acidic drinks to your body while exercising?
Acidic drinks will increase your body’s needs to neutralize acids and increase the dissolve rate of tooth enamel in your mouth when you are already generating excess acids from the exercise. For more tooth care effects of sports drinks, please visit:
What about acid in energy drinks and fuel mixes?
Many energy drinks and fuels use acids to help preserve the mix. The day you plan to drink the mix, add Acid Zapper Granules at ¼ level teaspoon per 8oz. serving and shake well. Note, not all of the granules will dissolve. The residue is calcium carbonate and it helps buffer the mix. That is why we recommend that you shake the mix before drinking.
