| Abstract: | Background Research has demonstrated that the net acid load of the typical Western diet has the potential to influence many aspects of
human health, including osteoporosis risk/progression; obesity; cardiovascular disease risk/progression; and overall well-being.
As urinary pH provides a reliable surrogate measure for dietary acid load, this study examined whether a plant-based dietary
supplement, one marketed to increase alkalinity, impacts urinary pH as advertised. |
