New drive for your acid-base balance - the instant help for on the way.

ALKALA ^® "T" contains sodium hydrogen carbonate and is an alkaline preparation in tablet form that is suitable for restoring the acid-base balance in the organism.

Shifts of the acid-base balance into the acidic range are increasingly common nowadays due to our living and environmental conditions. Large amounts of acids often enter the body, especially through food. Foods made from animal protein, foods containing fructose and sugar, and products made from white flour produce particularly large amounts of acids when they are broken down. In addition, the body is burdened by various substances from the environment, such as heavy metals, pesticides, medications and exhaust fumes. But stress, anxiety, anger and intense physical exertion also cause increased acid production in the body. The first typical signs of hyperacidity are heartburn, acid regurgitation, flatulence, etc. Subsequently, hyperacidity is then a typical concomitant of chronic metabolic disorder.

By taking bases, one supports the body in its attempt to eliminate and neutralize acids. The intake of ALKALA^® has proved particularly effective in supplying the body with sufficient bases and minerals.

For a long time, ALKALA^® "T" has been traditionally used for acid-related stomach pain and heartburn. The stomach acid is neutralized directly at the site of the problem. Since ALKALA^® "T" is available as a tablet, it is easy to take along as an "immediate aid" and has an alkaline remedy quickly at hand for acid-related complaints.

The remedy ALKALA^® "T" is part of the elements of SANUM-therapy and belongs to the remedies of BASE-REGULATION.


Heartburn:
Heartburn is the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus and possibly even into the mouth. Frequently heartburn occurs after eating and later additionally while lying down and sleeping, especially if one has eaten before going to bed. Some sufferers even wake up at night due to the pain. Heartburn usually occurs as part of a symptom complex and often appears together with other symptoms such as acid regurgitation and burning pain behind the breastbone. The pain is usually triggered by the reflux of highly acidic stomach acid into the esophagus (food pipe). If heartburn occurs more frequently, it is called reflux disease (gastroesophageal reflux disease).

Acid Related Stomach Discomfort:
Many people are well aware of acid related stomach discomfort. Acid-related stomach complaints and stomach pain are mostly due to too much stomach acid. Rarely, other causes may also be underlying.
