The pH of the body is one of the most misunderstood concepts in natural and chemical medicine!
Without going into all the misunderstandings, let us just say the following. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. ‘0’ is completely acidic, and ’14’ is completely alkaline. Halfway between 0 and 14 is 7 which is neutral (Not acid and not alkaline)
Thus, below 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline.
There are many different pH values in the body, the urine is normally acidic, the stomach is very acidic with a value of around 3. The blood is slightly alkaline with a pH of between 7.35 to 7.45 (This is always true - if not you are dead, or in ICU at least) So don’t let people tell you your blood is acid or has a ph of 6.5 - they simply don’t understand the body.
We mostly refer to the pH of the fluid between the blood and an actual tissue cell - this is called the inter cellular fluid. The pH of this fluid should be above 7 and below 7.5. This fluid is represented by (fresh) saliva. When the pH of the saliva shows to be below 7, the person is generally more acidic.
NuBalance aims to change this inter cellular pH to become alkaline.
What is in NuBalance
Magnesium peroxide (the formula is: Mg02), a magnesium compound, is popularly known as oxygenated magnesium, or oxygenated magnesia. This immensely useful, magnesium oxide compound releases nascent oxygen, or mono-atomic oxygen, progressively upon coming into contact with the acids present in water. To understand the usefulness of oxygenated magnesium, it is necessary to acquaint yourself with several important benefits of magnesium, because, after all, 43.17% of magnesium peroxide is magnesium – the rest 56.83% being oxygen. Magnesium peroxide, it is important to note, does not merely mimic the benefits of magnesium; it provides many additional benefits, which are attributed to its capacity to release oxygen progressively when used as directed.
A low oxygen level in the body leads to the cells producing more acid as a byproduct of normal metabolism. Introducing magnesium peroxide, release more oxygen into the body. This in turn aids the cells, which start functioning more optimally and this producing less acid as a byproduct.
Nahcolite a substance known for its alkalising effects thanks to a ph of 9.
Its most natural form sodium bicarbonate, a mineral that is found in various locations around the world.
Nahcolite is known to help to neutralise acid and improve pH balance in the body. Sodium Bicarbonate is often used internally to quell digestive dismay such as acid reflux or heartburn. When these complaints are due to overconsumption of acidic foods or a generally acidic state of the body, slowly drinking some baking soda in water can help to neutralise the acid and get your body’s pH back to a better place.
It’s important not to neutralise your stomach acid, if you want to eat food, as the acid is used to aid in the digestive process. So don’t think more is better when it comes to taking sodium bicarbonate. It’s important to note that consuming too much can cause an increase in acid production.
Normally, the kidneys maintain proper balance of pH and electrolyte levels, including calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. But when we are exposed to acidic substances, these electrolytes are used to combat acidity.
The kidneys start to excrete more minerals out of the body via the urine. High degrees of acidity from diet or medical conditions force our bodies to rob minerals from our bones, cells, organs and tissues. Cells end up lacking enough minerals to properly dispose of waste or oxygenate the body completely. Vitamin absorption is then compromised by mineral loss. Toxins and pathogens can start to accumulate in the body, and this can suppress the immune system.
Coral Calcium
Powdered forms of coral calcium are critical to the fast absorption of key trace vitamins and minerals. The all natural animals structures found in coral calcium powder benefits you because your body absorbs it more easily than traditional calcium supplements. In an actual coral calcium supplement tablet you can find over 70 minerals including calcium, magnesium and calcium citrate.
In addition to creating strong bones and teeth, calcium also plays a vital role in muscle contractions – even in the heart. Several studies suggest that low dietary intake of calcium can lead to an increased risk of developing hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In a Taiwanese study of coral calcium health benefits, calcium was even shown to have a protective effect against both gastric and colorectal cancers.
Calcium may help women with PMS suffering from cramps and irritability.
Our bodies’ constant remodelling processes re-absorb and replace about 20 percent of our bone every year. When dietary intake is inadequate, calcium is removed from our bones to make up for the loss in our bloodstream. This calcium deficiency then leads to osteoporosis. This literally translates to “porous bones.” This condition can become severe and lead to bones that break under the weight of the body. There are often few clues that you may have this condition. Symptoms are often absent until fractures occur.
Because coral calcium contains a more broken down form of calcium, it’s easier to absorb than other calcium supplements. This is important for those over 50 who are less able to absorb nutrients. Coral calcium’s digestibility also makes it unique. Your body more readily accepts coral calcium because of its easily absorbable ionic form. Coral Complex’s superior assimilation properties make it one of the best coral powder calcium supplements on the market.
