Alkaline supplement reverses acidity and improves bone density
According to a new study an alkaline supplement, potassium citrate, has been
found to counteract some of the acidity of the modern diet and to increase bone density. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base Supplements May Help Fight Osteoporosis Newswise - Taking a potassium citrate supplement to counteract the high acidity of the modern diet can lead to increased bone density in older women, suggests a study in the November Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. "Our results demonstrate for the first time that merely by partially reversing the acidity of the diet, bone mass increased rapidly and in amounts that are within the range of increases produced by common FDA-approved medicines," comments Dr. Reto Krapf of the University of Basel, Switzerland. The study included 161 postmenopausal women, average age 59 years-all had low bone mass placing them at risk for fracture. One group was randomly assigned to take daily potassium citrate supplement as tablets, which provides a very small amount of base (alkali). The other group took a potassium chloride supplement, which provided the same amount of potassium but without base. Before and after 6 to 12 months of treatment, the women underwent measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, a highly precise technique for diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis. At the end of the study, women taking the base supplement had a significant, one percent increase in BMD in the vertebrae of the lower back (lumbar spine). For women taking the non-base potassium chloride supplement, lumbar spine BMD decreased significantly by approximately one percent.
