Frequently Asked Questions

This page answers several frequently asked questions related to Pascoe pH Balance and Acidity

  1. How do I know when I am acidic?

    2. Taking the quiz will help you to determine if you might be acidic. The best way to know for sure is by taking your first morning urine pH. If it is less than 6.8, you are acidic. pH strips are enclosed with every package of pH Balance Pascoe to help you determine your acid profile.

  2. What is acid rigidity?

    3. Acid rigidity occurs when your body is not eliminating acids properly. You might find that your first morning urine pH is around normal, but after a few days it starts to drop. This is a good sign that your body is now eliminating the acids properly, and you will see over time that the pH will increase back to normal if you continue to alkalinize your body.

  3. What are the most important things I can do to help my body alkalinize?

    4. First, eat more alkalinizing foods. Our food table (found in the patient guide) can help you learn which foods are more acidic or alkaline. Eating more fruits and vegetables is important. Supplementing with an alkalinizing supplement such as pH Balance Pascoe is important especially when there is a lot of acidity. Additionally, moderate exercise, drinking enough fluids, and reducing stress are all important.

  4. How is osteoporosis related to pH balance?

    5. Thinking is beginning to shift that perhaps osteoporosis is not caused by an absolute deficiency of calcium, but that perhaps minerals are leached from the bones in response to an acidic environment in the body. It has been shown repeatedly that pH definitely has an impact on bone build-up and breakdown.

  5. Who can take pH Balance Pascoe?

    6. Adults and children over the age of 4 years old can take pH Balance Pascoe without any problems. People on prescription medications should take pH Balance Pascoe at least 30 minutes away from those medications, as it may interfere with absorption by changing the pH in the intestine.

  6. Does pH Balance Pascoe interfere with digestion?

    7. The alkaline minerals in pH Balance Pascoe will react with the acid in the stomach; however even when taking 12 tablets a day complete neutralization of stomach acid is extremely unlikely. If you have concerns about this, speak with your healthcare practitioner.

  7. When is the best time to take pH Balance Pascoe?

    8. Ideally most people would want to take pH Balance Pascoe at 10am and 4pm, coinciding with the body’s alkaline tides. However, it is mostly important that you take it twice daily, about an hour away from food and other medications.
