Our pH Test Kit
Better balance = Better Bones
The American diet and lifestyle are said to be highly acidifying. Many of your daily
activities have a powerful effect on the pH balance of your blood and tissues. Exercise,
how much sleep you get, your overall stress levels, exposure to environmental toxins,
and the food you consume can all generate acidic by-products.
Your bones are the guardians of your pH. The bones store mineral compounds (including
sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, citrates, phosphates, and carbonates) that
the body draws out to neutralize excess acids. If your body is constantly working
to regain pH balance because you are “too acidic,” that means the bones
are constantly being tapped for alkalizing minerals. Unfortunately, this leads to
bone loss and, ultimately, to osteoporosis.
How can I check if I am too acidic?
Your urine and saliva are indicators of how acidic or how alkaline you are, and
testing them is simple with the Better Bones pH Test Kit. A good approximation of
your overall tissue pH can be easily obtained by evaluating the pH of your first-morning
urine and then monitoring the level over time.
Depending on your individual Program, you’ll receive either a 30-day supply or a
60-day supply that includes:
- Distinct and clear pH testing strips that provide immediate results
- One-color match chart (testing range of 5.0–9.0 in 0.5-unit increments)
- Directions for testing urine or saliva
