Pascoe Basentabs Ph Balance , 100 tablets

Basentabs Ph Balance is a supplement created by Pascoe to help alkalinise the blood, which becomes acidified due to factors such as over-consumption of preservatives and refined products.

This causes metabolic problems, such as electrolyte imbalance and bone decalcification, because the calcium that should be used solidifies. This leads to the formation of calcifications, such as vascular or renal calcifications, hence the importance of this supplement, which regulates acidity to optimise metabolic processes.

In addition, magnesium, sodium and potassium help to improve the functioning of electrolytes to alleviate the constant fatigue that occurs with this disorder. Similarly, magnesium and calcium promote the formation of bone tissue to prevent the deterioration of the bones caused by this condition.

Zinc acts to help stop premature ageing and optimise the development of every cell, benefiting everything from the immune system to veins, arteries, skin and hair.

Potassium supports heart function and blood pressure, as well as helping to eliminate excess fluids to deflate the body.

Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of this supplement for people with acid retention in the kidneys, as it helps to alkalinise the blood.

The recommended dose is between 2 or 3 tablets 3 times a day, to be taken with plenty of liquid during or immediately after meals. This supplement should only be taken for two consecutive weeks.

In addition, it is necessary to measure the pH of the urine three times a day, using the strip which should be checked against the values on the pH scale. These values are considered normal if they are within the white curve. It is recommended to take the measurements on three consecutive days, then every week and after one month.

This supplement is not suitable for pregnant women or people who must follow a low-salt diet, as it is rich in sodium.

At the beginning of its use, liquid bowel movements may be observed. If these persist, it is necessary to discontinue use and consult a specialist.
