Education: Alkalising Mineral Complex

Alkalising Mineral Complex is a comprehensive formula designed to support systemic acid-base balance, electrolyte equilibrium, bone mineralisation, energy production, and general health and wellbeing. It combines citrate-bound alkalising minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium) with essential trace elements, including zinc, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, and boron.

Enhanced with ampli-D® (calcifediol monohydrate), MenaQ7® (vitamin K2 as MK-7), and SelenoExcell® (high-selenium yeast), this formulation delivers clinically relevant benefits and targeted support for immune, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and neuromuscular functions.

Acid-Base Balance

Maintaining systemic pH within the narrow range of 7.37 to 7.43 is critical to physiological stability. Acidosis, even in subclinical forms, increases the body’s reliance on buffering mechanisms such as renal acid excretion and bone mineral mobilisation.

Impact of Disordered Acid-Base Balance A persistent acid load from modern dietary patterns and reduced buffering capacity—particularly in older adults or individuals experiencing physiological stress—can influence the body’s reliance on compensatory mechanisms to maintain systemic pH balance. Research indicates that sustained acid-base challenges are associated with:

• Increased utilisation of bone mineral reserves for systemic buffering

• Elevated renal excretion of acid by-products

• Altered glucose metabolism and insulin function

• Inflammatory cytokine production and pain sensitisation

• Influences on gut microbial balance and digestive enzyme activity

Citrate-Bound Minerals

Citrate forms play a unique role in systemic buffering. Upon metabolism, they generate bicarbonate, helping neutralise H⁺ ions without burdening renal or skeletal reserves. Citrate-bound minerals directly buffer acidity, forming bicarbonate precursors in vivo.

Electrolyte Balance

Electrolytes regulate membrane potential, neuromuscular excitability, fluid distribution, and acid-base dynamics. Magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium each play interdependent roles in maintaining electrochemical gradients, facilitating bicarbonate reabsorption, and buffering systemic H⁺ loads.

Unique Ingredients

• ampli-D® (calcifediol monohydrate): An advanced, bioavailable form of vitamin D that bypasses hepatic conversion. This results in a more rapid and efficient elevation of serum 25(OH)D levels compared to cholecalciferol, with studies demonstrating a threefold faster increase.

• SelenoExcell®: An organically bound, selenium-enriched yeast that closely mirrors the forms of selenium naturally found in food. Produced via the fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it comprises 21 organic selenium compounds, including the nutritionally important selenomethionine, selenocysteine, and methyl-selenocysteine.

• MenaQ7® (Vitamin K2 as MK-7): A clinically validated, bioavailable form of vitamin K2. It is produced through a fermentation process that ensures a high-purity, all-trans MK-7 isomer—the biologically active form, free from efficacy-reducing cis-isomers.

Role of Supportive Nutrients

This formulation provides a comprehensive blend of supportive vitamins and trace minerals, each with a defined biological role contributing to diverse physiological functions:

• Selenium: Supports detoxification through its involvement in antioxidant enzyme systems.

• Magnesium: Crucial to ATP synthesis, neuromuscular function, and maintaining cardiac health.

• Potassium & Magnesium: Work synergistically to regulate electrolyte balance.

• Zinc: Contributes to acid-base balance and supports the health of the immune and reproductive systems, as well as hair, skin, and nails.

• Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese & Vitamin K2: Support healthy bone matrix development.

• Vitamin D: Facilitates the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus.

• Chromium: Helps support healthy blood sugar levels.

• Boron: Further supports the formula's comprehensive health and wellbeing benefits.
