Acid Defense was formulated for those occasions when you experience heartburn, acid indigestion and upper GI distressDescription: 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.
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.

Other:Acid/Alkaline and Your Body's pHWhen 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 & PotassiumIf 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 HealthThe 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.
