"Alkalize for Bone Health" in Women

What is pH imbalance?  Many of the foods we eat, such as sugar, refined flour, animal protein, coffee, colas, and even sports drinks increase the amount of acidic wastes that the body must continuously buffer internally. As the body strives to seek balance from excess acid overload waste, it will attempt to obtain alkaline substances from wherever it can find them, even if it means depleting bones, organs and tissues of critical structural elements. Many recent findings are beginning to show that persistent acid pH imbalance (also known as metabolic acidosis or acidic stress) can be a leading contributor to bone loss along with many other issues relating to urinary disorders, loss of energy, hypertension and a variety of health challenges.

Female Athletes and Acid Zapper

It was brought to light that several women taking Acid Zapper products were experiencing improved increased bone mass density. We realized that the elevated pH of the patented active ingredient helped open the connexin channels allowing the transport of the calcium. Calcium Carbonate makes up a significant volume of our active ingredient in order to bring the alkalization of a 1000mg tablet to an effective level of 12 milliequivalents each. The calcium carbonate also helps to buffer and release the strong alkaline material from the other ingredients to open channels in the mucosal membrane for absorption of calcium. Calcium carbonate was used as opposed to another calcium compound because it is tasteless and odorless; so it works great to reduce acid levels in foods and drinks.
