Key Ingredients
Potassium Citrate
The most important ingredient which is necessary for normal water and electrolyte balance. In nature, potassium is found in mineral deposits called potash, which is where it is extracted from and reacted with citric acid.
Potassium will assist glucose/sugar/carbohydrate metabolism and help maintain and support:
- healthy acid/alkali balance in the body
- body electrolyte balance.
- healthy cardiovascular system function
- muscle function.
- nerve conduction.
- healthy neuromuscular system/ function
- kidney function
Potassium is the most abundant intracellular electrolyte found in the body and is fundamental to the regulation of acid-base and water balance. Intracellular fluid refers to the fluid inside cells, and potassium is a key electrolyte that helps maintain cell membrane potential. This statement emphasises the significance of potassium within the cellular environment for proper cellular function and overall health.
Magnesium Citrate
Naturally, magnesium is found in mineral-rich sources such as dolomite, magnesite, and sea water. Which is where it is extracted from and reacted with citric acid.
When dietary intake is inadequate, magnesium citrate will maintain and support:
• body electrolyte balance
• bone health
• cardiovascular system health
• healthy cardiovascular system function
• heart health
• healthy immune system function
Calcium Citrate
The calcium component is sourced from naturally occurring calcium carbonate, which is extracted from limestone or marble deposits, which is then reacted with Citric Acid. Calcium is an essential mineral required for the proper functioning of numerous intracellular and extracellular processes.
Calcium citrate maintains and supports:
- bone health, strength and mineralisation
- bone mass, density and integrity
- healthy cardiovascular system function
- heart health
- muscle function
- nervous system function
- neuromuscular function
A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Calcium may help prevent osteoporosis when dietary intake is inadequate.
Chromium picolinate
Chromium is an essential trace mineral required for carbohydrate, lipid, protein and corticosteroid metabolism. Chromium assists in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipid and protein, and support general health and wellbeing.
Chromium may be found in most vegetables, such as green beans, which have 2.2 micrograms per cup, and mashed potatoes, which have 2.7 micrograms. However, a cup of cooked broccoli has an astounding 22 micrograms.
Zinc gluconate
Zinc acts as an antioxidant to reduce free radicals formed in the body as well as helps metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and assists in protein synthesis in the body.
It also supports:
- healthy eye function, eyesight and vision
- hair thickness, growth and health
- nail health
- skin health, integrity and structure
- wound healing and skin regeneration
- immune system function
- cognitive and mental function
- nervous system function
Selenometionine
Selenium acts as an antioxidant to reduce free radicals formed in the body, when dietary intake is inadequate it also supports:
- healthy thyroid hormones
- healthy immune system function
Molybdenum
Molybdenum is an essential trace element and serves as a co-factor for several enzyme reactions
Directions for use
Mix 2 scoop (2 level included scoop contains approximately 7g) into approximately 200 ml water and consume immediately. Take once daily, or as recommended by your registered healthcare practitioner.
Drinking enough water throughout the day is essential, as potassium needs proper hydration for optimal absorption.
Some people prefer to take supplements on an empty stomach for better absorption, while others find that taking them with food minimizes any potential stomach discomfort. Experiment and see what works best for you, but if you have a sensitive stomach, taking it with food is generally recommended.
Calcium citrate is often better absorbed when taken with food. Food stimulates stomach acid production, which aids in the absorption of calcium.
How do citrate supplements help with alkalizing?
Citrate supplements are often associated with having alkalizing effects in the body. This is because citrate is an alkaline or basic substance. When citrate is metabolized in the body, it can contribute to the formation of bicarbonate, a substance that helps buffer acids.
Citrate is metabolized in the body, and during this process, it can release bicarbonate ions. Bicarbonate acts as a buffer, helping to neutralize excess acids in the body. This can have an overall alkalizing effect, helping to maintain a more balanced pH level.
It’s important to note that while citrate supplements may have an alkalizing effect, the overall impact on the body’s pH is influenced by various factors, including diet, metabolism, and other physiological processes. The body has intricate mechanisms for maintaining a stable pH balance, and the impact of citrate supplements is just one factor in this complex system.
Is my body acidic?
To maintain homeostasis, the human body employs many physiological adaptations. One of these is maintaining an acid-base balance. In the absence of pathological states, the pH of the human blood ranges between 7.35 to 7.45, with the average at 7.40. Why this number? Why not a neutral number of 7.0 instead of a slightly alkaline 7.40? A pH at this level is ideal for many biological processes, one of the most important being the oxygenation of blood. Also, many of the intermediates of biochemical reactions in the body become ionized at a neutral pH, which causes the utilization of these intermediates to be more difficult.
The renal system affects pH by reabsorbing bicarbonate and excreting fixed acids. Whether due to pathology or necessary compensation, the kidney excretes or reabsorbs these substances which affect pH. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Blood vessels called glomeruli transport substances found in the blood to the renal tubules so that some can be filtered out while others are reabsorbed into the blood and recycled. This is true for hydrogen ions and bicarbonate.
If bicarbonate is reabsorbed and/or acid is secreted into the urine, the pH becomes more alkaline (increases). When bicarbonate is not reabsorbed or acid is not excreted into the urine, pH becomes more acidic (decreases).
You can check your urine ph using pH Test strips
The balance between acids and bases (alkaline substances) in the body is crucial for maintaining proper physiological function.
The body carefully regulates its acid-base balance to maintain a relatively constant pH, which is crucial for normal physiological functioning.
The primary factors that contribute to acidity in the body include:
- The breakdown of nutrients in the body, especially during cellular metabolism, which produces acids as byproducts
- Intense physical activity can lead to the production of lactic acid through anaerobic metabolism. While the body can efficiently clear lactic acid under normal circumstances, excessive production during intense exercise may contribute to acidity.
- The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining acid-base balance by excreting hydrogen ions and regulating the reabsorption of bicarbonate. Dysfunction of the kidneys can lead to acid-base imbalances.
- Various medical conditions, such as diabetes, respiratory disorders, and certain kidney diseases, can disrupt the body’s acid-base balance
- Chronic or excessive inflammation can contribute to changes in the local tissue environment, including alterations in acidity. Inflammatory processes may induce cellular stress and affect normal cellular metabolism.

A great way to ensure I have the optimum balance of electrolytes in my system.
It’s also the best quick fix for any occasional reflux I might experience.
So far, I think that this product has been a great addition to my daily experience.
No matter the ingredients, it’s about the taste. Good product, i think it is beneficial, but I need to have something to get rid of the aftertaste. Considered berry or orange flavours or cutting down on the sodium aspect?
I think it helps keep my system healthy
Great product would highly recommend
Great product. It works wonderfully to alkalise your body, to help you relax and for a good night’s sleep.
Only a short passage of time but so far very happy
