However, using gastric antacids for acid reflux or heartburn could create more acid imbalance in your body. Furthermore, the aluminum content in antacids has been [...]
Chloride , (Cl), is an essential mineral widely distributed throughout the body as an anion form of chlorine-a very poisonous gas. It forms an important negative ion for the extracellular fluid and its negative charge balances the positive charges of sodium ions to bring about electrolyte balance. Chloride helps to maintain pressure that allows fluids [...]
Magnesium, (Mg), is an essential mineral that accounts only for 0.05 percent of the body’s total weight. Approximately 70 percent of the mineral is located in the bones and the rest in soft tissues such as muscles and in body fluids. Magnesium, like calcium is a cation (divalent). It is heavily involved in many metabolic [...]
Sodium , (Na), is a positive ionic mineral (cation) in the extracellular fluid and a key factor in fluid retention. Together with potassium contribute in the regulation of fluid volume in the intracellular and extracellular cell compartments. As both minerals shift across the cell membranes create electrical potential charges that allows for nerve impulses and [...]
