The greatest
problem for people suffering from acidification is the fact
that the concentrated mass of acids have accumulated in the
deep inner tissues. The quantities of acids that have built
up are too great to be carried by the blood (which must
maintain a very narrow pH range), to the skin and kidneys
for elimination. The body is then forced to use a second
option to protect the integrity of the blood pH. This
consists of directing the acids not to the organs of
elimination to be discharged, but into the tissues, which
can withstand fluctuations of pH levels better than the
blood.
Deacidification of
the body requires the neutralization and elimination of a
very large quantity of acids. When available, the body will
use mineral reserves in order to neutralize these acids.
When alkaline minerals bind with acids, a neutral salt is
made, which can then enter the bloodstream for elimination
without affecting the pH of the blood. Taking these alkaline
minerals on a regular basis supports the body's efforts and
greatly accelerates the process of deacidification, and
restoration to pH Balance. Alkalive™ Blue is an
alkalizing mineral supplement that quickly goes to work to
neutralize damaging acids.

Alkaline Minerals is
a mineral rich supplement designed to accelerate the
neutralization of acids that are often deeply embedded in
the tissues of the body. To neutralize each acid
that you want removed from the body, you need a
corresponding alkaline substance...an alkaline mineral. The
five primary alkaline minerals are calcium, magnesium,
potassium, manganese and iron (manganese and iron are trace
minerals, and are present in Alkalive™ Blue in trace
amounts). Acidification is synonymous with mineral
deficiency.

Alkaline Minerals
Calcium (As Calcium Phosphate)
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in
the body, and about 99% of the body's calcium is found in
our bones. Besides being an alkalizing element in the body, it helps
build and maintain healthy bones and teeth. Calcium is also
important in many enzymatic reactions in the body, is
necessary for the contraction of muscles, the release of
neurotransmitters, regulation of heart beat, and the
clotting of blood. Calcium deficiency may ultimately lead to
acidification as well as osteoporosis, which thins and
weakens bones making them frail to the point where they
break easily.
Magnesium
Magnesium is
well known for its calming effect on our nervous system, as
well as its stimulating effect on the immune system. It is
vital in assisting in calcium and potassium uptake. A
deficiency interferes with the transmission of nerve and
muscle impulses, causing irritability and nervousness.
Magnesium is also a crucial element in maintaining proper pH
balance.
Potassium
Potassium is
critical in maintaining proper electrolyte and acid -
alkaline balance. Potassium plays a fundamental role in
cellular exchanges. Potassium deficiency may lead to poor
energy, lack of strength as well as cramping.
A diet that contains sufficient amounts may reduce the risk
of high blood pressure and stroke, as well as soothe
feelings of anxiety, irritability and stress.
Manganese
Manganese acts as a catalyst in numerous biochemical
reactions. Manganese is an
antioxidant nutrient that is important in the breakdown of
amino acids and the production of energy. It is also a
catalyst in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It helps
nourish the nerves and brain, is necessary for normal
skeletal development, and helps to maintain proper hormone
production and to regulate blood sugar levels.
Iron
Iron is necessary to carry oxygen in
the blood, which is of crucial importance for people who
have trouble metabolizing acids, since they cannot oxidize
volatile acids properly.
Phosphorous
As blood is filtered through the
kidneys, this element is used to buffer acids creating
phosphoric acid, which is then excreted via the urine. By
this buffering method, the kidneys reduce the degree of
acidity in the body fluids.
Phosphorus is also involved in the
building of bones and teeth. Like calcium, it is found in
all cells and is involved in some way in most biochemical
reactions. Phosphorus is vital to energy production and
exchange in a variety of ways. Phosphorus is also important
to the utilization of carbohydrates and fats for energy
production and also in protein synthesis for the growth,
maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells.
PHion
promises that no other calcium on the market will dissolve
in water the way that the calcium in
Alkalive™ Blue does. The
reason is because we've developed a process to isolate the
calcium and phosphorous from whey (similar to the process of
isolating protein from whey). The result is a calcium that
is far superior to calcium carbonate (found in most calcium
supplements including coral calcium), and much more
absorbable by the body.
