More and more people are focusing on diet, exercise, and relaxation to maintain their health. However, one crucial aspect that is often overlooked is the acid-base balance in the body.
When this balance is disrupted, acid waste products can accumulate, a process known as "acidification." Over time, this condition can significantly affect how your body functions.
Common early signs of acidification include fatigue, a weakened immune system, stiffness, and slower recovery times. Fortunately, you can support your body and help restore this balance.
If acidic wastes accumulate, your body activates buffer systems to neutralize the acid load. The most essential buffer is sodium bicarbonate. However, after the age of 40, its production drops rapidly.
The body also uses alkaline minerals such as calcium and magnesium to neutralize waste. If those are not sufficiently available, the body resorts to an emergency mechanism: it draws minerals from bones, hair, and nails to maintain balance.
Your body thus tries to mitigate the effects of acidification as much as possible. But the bigger the accumulation, the harder it becomes. That’s why supporting your body in de-acidifying and actively working toward a healthy acid-base balance is essential.
Summary: If acidic waste products are not properly eliminated, your body neutralizes them using sodium bicarbonate and essential minerals. Once these resources are exhausted, minerals are extracted from bones, hair, and nails, further disrupting the acid-base balance.
At Alka®, we de-acidify in three simple steps. Each step by itself is valuable and applicable. If you have a larger accumulation of acidic waste — or want results more quickly — you can combine the three steps for a more substantial effect.
If you want to further support your body, there are Alka® Specials. These products are developed for more targeted applications that extend beyond the basics of de-acidification and mineral replenishment. For example, Spermidine, which contributes to cell protection, or formulas that support digestion, a healthy weight, or a balanced alkaline taste sensation.
A disturbed acid-base balance in your body also affects your skin, because acidic waste is partly excreted through the skin. Alkaline skincare is, therefore, a valuable aid in maintaining skin balance and preventing problem areas.

Acidification arises from the gradual accumulation of acidic waste products. Your body has buffer systems and minerals to neutralize these, but with a higher burden — and as you grow older, that stops working fully. With the right lifestyle and support through the Alka® three-step method, you can maintain a healthy acid-base balance and support your body in staying balanced.
