As you may recall from your high school chemistry class, pH stands for “potential of hydrogen.” Simply put, it’s a measure of the relative acidity and alkalinity of a substance.
Without getting too scientific, here’s what pH means for you and your body:
The pH scale goes from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkaline), with 7.0 as neutral (as seen in the image below). There is a vast range of normal pH levels in the body, depending on which fluid you measure. We recommend measuring pH via urinalysis for its accuracy, convenience and low cost to perform and analyze. For the SHAPE Program, it is also the most diagnostic for determining how you are responding to the program.
The optimal range for urine pH is 6.40-6.80 (most urinalysis strips test in increments of 0.5, so 6.5 would be optimal). This is where your body functions at its best.
Nine out of ten people with imbalanced pH are acidic (their urine pH tests below 6.40). Acidity can manifest in a variety of ways:
Adding minerals to your diet is one of the best ways to improve body pH, but it can be challenging to get enough minerals through diet alone. Fruits and vegetables have fewer nutrients than they did many years ago, so it is often necessary to add mineral supplements. Our pH Concentrated Minerals give you a daily mineral boost and are designed to promote healthy pH levels.
pH Concentrated Minerals are an all-natural trace minerals supplement. The minerals in pH Concentrated Minerals are naturally derived and harvested through solar evaporation. Our formula does not rely on chemical or mechanical separation, unlike many lab-created liquid mineral formulas. Some manufacturers artificially pump up the potassium so that it will quickly elevate the pH level of water, but this won’t necessarily elevate pH in the human body.
The minerals in pH Concentrated Minerals are concentrated in natural human proportions in water-soluble ionic form so they can be absorbed efficiently and effectively. pH Concentrated Minerals are also vegan, gluten-free and kosher-certified.
Our pH Concentrated Minerals are highly concentrated, so you should always add them to water. The recommended use is 3-4 drops per 8-10 oz. of water. Start with 20 drops daily and work up to 40 drops or until benefits are realized.
Minerals (particularly magnesium) have a bitter, sour or alkaline taste, but your taste buds will adjust. We find that pH Concentrated Minerals adds a slight mineral or lemony flavor to water.
Like most natural remedies, taking pH Concentrated Minerals is not a quick fix. You will experience the best results with consistent and proper use.
