Acidity (connective tissue acidosis)

Micronutrient therapy

Eliminate excess acid
In a latent acidosis the excess acids can only be neutralized slowly and the accumulation in the connective tissue occurs. This leads to the development of connective tissue acidosis. Although this condition and the associated demineralization do not have the same pathogenic factor as a manifest acidosis, a partial massive decrease of the base buffer reserves is often accompanied by poor concentration, allergies, chronic fatigue, inflammatory mucous membrane changes, muscle and joint complaints, rheumatic complaints and other specific and non-specific symptoms.
Compensate micronutrient deficits
Calciumlosses due to latent acidosis can have a negative effect on bone health. The increased release of bone mineral substances is based on a decrease in the intracellular pH value and leads to a negative calcium balance and a decrease in bone mineral density. This additionally promotes hypercalciuria, which can increase the tendency to kidney stones.
