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
