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.
Acid/Alkaline and Your Body's pH
When 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 &
Potassium
If 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 – the most
important metabolic function our body performs is to maintain a balanced
pH.
The Foundation of Health
We believe that the very foundation of health begins with the
proliferation of beneficial flora in the gut. The probiotics, live
enzymes, and alkalizing minerals naturally occurring in goat's milk whey,
along with organic vegetable juice concentrates and our powerful Stomach
Soothe™ N•Zimes Blend™ – together produce a soothing effect,
maintain a balanced pH, and promote the growth of healthy flora throughout
the intestines.
Ancient Wisdom Fermentation
The ancient Greeks understood that
important chemical changes took
place during fermentation. Their name
for this change was “alchemy”.
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 microorganisms 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.
