How are calcium absorption
and balanced pH related?
Because overly alkaline body fluids can
make calcium harder to absorb:
The body must maintain the proper acid-alkaline (pH) balance to function at optimal levels. Since calcium is essential for strengthening bones, it's important that your body be able to absorb it at proper levels.†Supplemental acidifying compounds such as ammonium chloride, betaine hydrochloride, and calcium phosphate can help support balanced pH levels.â€Â

FAQ
How does pH affect calcium absorption?
Calcium absorption is optimal with normal mealtime
stomach acidity. The acid of the stomach helps break up calcium so it can be
absorbed in the intestines. Those without optimal stomach acidity, such as
older people, may not absorb calcium as well as others.
Why is there kidney extract in Acid-A-Calâ„¢?
The kidney is a critical organ in the filtering
and release of different substances that are pulled from the blood. A critical
component of maintaining proper pH is support of the kidneys. Kidney extract
provides targeted support for the kidneys.â€Â
Can I take Acid-A-Cal™
long term?
Acid-A-Calâ„¢ contains the following
essential vitamins and minerals: calcium chloride, calcium phosphate,
magnesium glycerophosphate, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. As these vitamins and
minerals are essential for health and are present in a wide variety of food
sources, it is unlikely that long-term use would result in adverse effects. After researching the other ingredients (betaine hydrochloride, ammonium
chloride, kidney extract, and citrus bioflavonoids), we found no adverse
affects associated with long term use.
