Formulated
for those occasions when you experience heartburn, acid indigestion
and upper GI distress, Acid Defense is a combination of super
alkalinizing ingredients designed to rapidly restore your body's
proper pH, and provide reinforcement for alkaline reserves in the body.
An excellent
source of electrolytes, Acid Defense contains a blend of live
enzymes, alkalinizing minerals, and probiotics from goat's milk whey.
In addition, the certified organic vegetable juice concentrates
enhance liver and gall bladder functions, and aid in fat metabolism.
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 Ð 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.
