Alka Drops: pH Booster Drops

The difference between Alka® Drops and Alka® Tabs is that with Alka® Drops the body itself produces bicarbonate via the stomach wall cells, Alka® Tabs contains bicarbonate that only dissolves in the intestines and is absorbed into the blood via the intestinal wall (so direct versus indirect supply of bicarbonate).

That is certainly possible, but always drink a full glass from it. When you take a sip each time, not enough bicarbonate is produced by the body. Bicarbonate is the substance that ensures the deacidification.

You can drink Alka® Drops to prevent acidification. From the age of 40, your body will make less active bicarbonate, which means that waste products and accumulated acids are removed to a lesser extent. Daily deacidification to prevent acidic waste accumulation is still the best.

Spring water is often acidic and has a pH value between 6 and 7. You should then add more Alka® drops (5 to 6 instead of 4) to increase the pH value to 9 - 10. We recommend tap water as its pH value is higher than 7. If you add 4 Alka® drops to tap water, this will lead to a pH value between 9 to 10.

If you have a stoma we recommend Alka® Drops as they have their effect in the stomach, via the stomach wall cells.

An empty stomach with Alka® Drops means about 20 minutes before a meal or 1½ to 2 hours after a meal.

If you cannot use potassium due to the pursuit of a very constant potassium level (with heart medication), we recommend the Alka® Tabs Calcium in combination with Alka® Drops. In addition, people with osteoporosis or a calcium deficiency can also use the best Alka® Tabs Calcium in combination with Alka® Drops.

Alka® Drops can also be added to the tea or coffee to slightly increase the quality, so that it makes your body less acidic. This is independent of the amount of glasses of water or Alka® Tea with drops that you should drink daily. You can also heat the water without harming the effect, but as soon as you start mixing it with sugar (lemonade syrup) you will acidify the water again. Pure spring / tap water with Alka® Drops is most effective for your body.

Alka® Drops can be combined with Alka® Tabs. Both products have the same goal: deacidification by adding bicarbonate to the body. The difference is that they do this in a different way. Alka® Tabs contains bicarbonate. Alka® Drops ensure that the body itself produces extra bicarbonates. A combination increases the dosage of bicarbonates and accelerates the deacidification process.

Yes, alkaline water with Alka® Drops in it can then be boiled without affecting the pH value.

4 glasses of water of approximately 250ml with 4 drops daily is the correct dose

The white deposit that develops after a while is lime scale (calcium carbonate). This process depends on the calcium content in the water and proceeds as follows: by adding Alka® droplets, present calcium reacts with hydroxide ions (OH-) to form calcium hydroxide (CaOH). Calcium hydroxide then reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This forms the white deposit in the glass. Calcium carbonate (lime) is not dangerous, but does not yield much in this form. It does affect the effectiveness as the pH value of the water decreases (OH ions are used in this limescale process). To avoid limescale build-up, keep the basic water closed so that it does not react with CO2 from the air. The fact why this happens more often with some (spring) water than with another is due to the calcium content of the different (spring) waters.

Yes, but adjust the dose for children to 2 glasses of water per day containing 4 Alka® drops.

The answer is yes, but keep the following in mind: (reverse) osmotic water and distilled water is acidic, as this water is so pure that it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. When you add Alka® drops, the carbon dioxide will act as a buffer, so that the pH value of the water hardly rises. You will therefore have to add more Alka® drops to the water to achieve the desired pH value of> 9. With a pH strip you can measure how many drops you need to add to a glass of distilled / osmotic water to reach a desired pH value.

The Brita filter also filters many minerals, causing the pH value to be slightly lower. To get Brita water alkaline enough you will have to add 1 or 2 extra drops. If necessary, you can use pH strips to measure how many drops should be added to get the pH value of Brita water around 9. (pH value has a logarithmic scale which means that you have to add more and more drops to increase a pH point. From 6 to 7 is faster than from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9, and so on).

When using 16 drops per day (4 glasses with 4 drops per glass) you will do about 3 months with a bottle of Alka® Drops. There are approximately 1,440 drops in one bottle.

In principle you can use Alka® Drops without the advice of your doctor. However, you can always consult your doctor about the use of Alka® products.

Some people experience mild detoxification symptoms (tiredness, mild headaches) at first. These detoxification symptoms are a sign that the deacidification is starting. They disappear when most of the waste acids have been neutralized and removed from the body.

With a water ionizer you can separate tap water by means of electrolysis into acid and alkaline water. You must mount the device to your tap. The problem with a water ionizer is that the obtained pH value is sometimes insufficient for the body to make enough bicarbonate to actively dissolve waste acids (uric acids, cholesterol acids, fatty acids, lactic acids, etc.). With Alka® Drops you can determine the pH value of water yourself by adding more or fewer drops to water.

You may put more than 4 drops in one glass of water. If you put more drops in a glass of water, the taste may become slightly more bitter due to the high concentration of minerals. In some cases it is advisable to add more drops, for example when the water from the tap is more acidic (pH value around 6 - 6.5).
