The body’s metabolic processes depend on proper pH balance. Without the proper tissue pH, enzymatic reactions slow down, get de-activated and switch off. This impairs practically any metabolic pathway where enzymes require more alkaline ranges, including the elimination of wastes. The backlog of uncleared toxins becomes inflammatory, resulting in aches and pains, fatigue, skin irritation, and more. Ultimately, proper pH is critical for the elimination of toxins we consume, and for reducing the metabolic waste products we produce.
