How are calcium absorption and balanced pH related?
Because overly alkaline body fluids can make calcium harder to absorb.
The body must maintain the proper acid-alkaline (pH) balance to function at optimal levels. Supplemental acidifying compounds such as ammonium chloride, betaine hydrochloride, and calcium phosphate can help support balanced pH levels.*
Why take Acid-A-Cal™?
It provides the ingredients you need for the right kind of calcium absorption.*
Acid-A-Cal™ provides acidifying compounds plus important vitamins, minerals, and citrus bioflavonoids that can help support balanced pH levels.*
Take 2 capsules twice daily. Best taken with meals. Do not exceed recommended dose.

Q:
How does pH affect calcium absorption?
A:
Calcium absorption is optimal with normal mealtime stomach acidity. The acid of the stomach helps break up calcium so it can be absorbed in the intestines. Those without optimal stomach acidity, such as older people, may not absorb calcium as well as others.
Q:
Why is there kidney extract in Acid-A-Cal™?
A:
The kidney is a critical organ in the filtering and release of different substances that are pulled from the blood. A critical component of maintaining proper pH is support of the kidneys. Kidney extract provides targeted support for the kidneys.*
