Although citrus fruits, such as
oranges and grapefruit, contain organic acids and may have an acid
taste, they are not acid forming when metabolized, leaving no
acidic residue. Similarly, Free-Form Amino Acids are not
acid-forming, but instead offer unique buffering capabilities to
the body.
What's An "Acid pH"?
An acid pH, or "acidosis," is the term used to describe the
imbalanced acidic condition of all our body fluids. Virtually all
cellular functions of the body are sensitive to the pH of their
fluids. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side, cells become
poisoned in their own toxic acidic wastes and die.
How Do I Know
If I Have An "Acid pH"?
By testing your pH with Växa's Medical pH-Test Strips, you can
determine quickly and easily, in the privacy of your own home,
what your urine pH is. Växa's Medical pH-Test Strips determine
your urinary pH, which is generally a good indicator of how acid
or base your total body pH is. When urinary pH is continuously
between 6.5 in the a.m. and 7.5 by evening, you're functioning in
a healthy range.
