Appropriate alkaline minerals for metabolic acidosis are:
- Na-bicarbonate
- Potassium citrate
- Magnesium citrate
- Calcium citrate
Important notice. An alkaline food supplement, for example, with Na-bicarbonate as sodium hydrogen carbonate, is incompatible with the stomach if no gastric acid-resistant encapsulation is chosen. The supply of sodium hydrogen carbonate without gastric acid-proof encapsulation leads to CO2 formation in the stomach and thus to impairment of the bactericidal (bacteria-killing) effect of gastric acid.Only through gastric acid-proof encapsulation of sodium hydrogen carbonate is the release in the small intestine.Food supplements with citrate salts are ideal.
The effectiveness of the supply of alkaline minerals has been scientifically proven.
For example, it has been shown that a supply of alkaline minerals in postmenopausal women leads to statistically proven calcium retention, which means reduced calcium excretion, positive nitrogen balance and inhibition of bone resorption. Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis with an Alkaline Dietary Supplement In the group of patients taking an alkaline dietary supplement, the intensity of pain decreased, so that the medication dose could be reduced in one third of the patients.
