| Garden of Life
founder Jordan Rubin is committed to creating products that allow the human
body to maintain healthy balance. Too often products are designed to
counteract a specific condition or symptom. Instead, Garden of Life believes
that the human body functions best when allowed to function in a balanced
state.
Maintaining a balanced pH is one of the most important
metabolic functions your body performs, aside from breathing and maintaining
a heartbeat. Production of highly acidic gastric juice is a normal function
of the stomach. Occasional heartburn represents an imbalance in the
digestive system. According to the American Gastrointestinal Association,
about 40 million people experience heartburn at least once per week, and
roughly 40% of people have heartburn at least once a month. Acid Defense®
provides alkalizing minerals from goat's milk whey, along with organically
grown vegetable juice concentrates. These natural food sources help your
body to maintain comfortable pH levels.* Additionally, the enzymes in Acid
Defense work to support healthy digestion.*
Why are alkalizing minerals important?
Production of highly acidic gastric juice is a normal
function of your stomach. Alkalizing minerals, such as calcium and potassium
naturally found in goat's milk whey, barley grass, beet, and carrot juice
concentrates will help your body maintain comfortable pH levels and relieve
occasional heartburn. *
How do the ingredients in Acid Defense® support my
digestive health?
In addition to ingredients that help balance pH, Acid
Defense® contains Stomach Soothe™ Enzyme Blend. The blend contains enzymes
such as amylase, glucoamylase, lipase, alpha galactosidase, malt diastase,
cellulase, sucrase, and lactase. The enzymes in Stomach Soothe™ Enzyme Blend
support digestion of a variety of carbohydrates and fats. *
Are there any additional benefits to taking Acid
Defense®?
Acid Defense® contains barley grass, beet, and carrot
juice concentrates. These ingredients are known to contain compounds that
help fight free radicals in the body. For example, beets contain a unique
group of antioxidants called betalains. Support your antioxidant function by
regular use of Acid Defense®. * |
