Named Basenpulver Polv 100G Pascoe

Information

INDICATIONS: BASENPULVER PASCOE® and BASENTABS pH-balance PASCOE® contain a mixture of carbonate mineral salts with the addition of basic magnesium carbonate, which can help meet the daily requirements for magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and zinc that support normal acid-base metabolism. Calcium and magnesium also contribute to normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal bones.

Curiosities

ACID-BASE BALANCE
Energy metabolism generates an accumulation of metabolic waste that is eliminated through the intestines, kidneys, skin, and lungs. Many of these metabolic wastes are acidic and require appropriate neutralization to be eliminated.
If the body produces an amount of acidic metabolic waste greater than it can neutralize and eliminate, an accumulation of acidic substances will occur, leading to acidosis over time.
Similarly, a deficiency of alkaline substances can lead to a state of acidosis. To limit the damage caused by acidosis, the body must activate costly compensatory systems to counterbalance this imbalance. The body first deposits acidic waste in connective tissue to then release and eliminate it when basic mineral salts are again available in the blood. This phenomenon occurs practically every day in our bodies. An improper or unbalanced diet (excessive amounts of meat, cheese, coffee, and reduced consumption of vegetables and whole foods) can cause a state of acidosis attributable to this type of diet.
Other causes of acidosis can result from poor oxygenation of the body and reduced capacity to eliminate waste through the kidneys. Sedentary living and closed environments do not always allow for proper oxygenation. Finally, insufficient fluid intake does not allow for adequate elimination of waste through the kidneys and skin (sweating).
The zinc present in BASENPULVER and BASENTABS helps the body maintain normal acid-base metabolism.

How to determine the state of acidosis?
The easiest way to evaluate acidosis is to measure the pH value of urine. The pH indicator strips useful for measurement are found inside the package.
The pH value should vary throughout the day defining a personal curve.

Nutrition
A proper diet should include alkalizing foods for about 75% of daily consumption: fruits, vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, salad. Acidifying foods include meat, poultry, cold cuts, fresh and aged cheese, yogurt, starchy products, and sweets.
Many foods, while acidifying, are essential and should not be eliminated as they are a vital source of proteins and vitamins; however, their acidifying contribution should be compensated by the intake of alkalizing foods. If these precautions are not sufficient, a zinc-based supplement like BASENPULVER/BASENTABS may be useful.

Physical activity, lifestyle
A walk in the woods or a bike ride improves oxygen intake and promotes the release of carbonic acid in the form of carbon dioxide. Avoid, if possible, situations that generate stress.
