If you are following an alkaline diet, you may be wondering why you need further supplements. This is an important question because the answer will help you understand how to obtain optimal health. Whether you are eating a 60/40 or 80/20 alkaline diet (you will recall that these numbers represents the ratio of alkaline to acid or acidifying foods), there are certain nutrients that are difficult to get from food alone. In many cases, you would have to eat extreme amounts of raw vegetables which, while possible, can be hard for your digestive system to process. Thus, some specialized supplements are recommended. Here are five that we recommend and offer as part of our program:

1. pHion Alkaline Minerals

You are probably already familiar with these minerals - Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese and Iron – which help accelerate the process of deacidification in the body tissues which help the body maintain normal functioning.

2.  pHion Green Superfood Powder and Capsules

A Green Drink contains over thirty alkalizing ingredients to help bridge any gaps in your diet. This is especially helpful for individuals who are just beginning their alkaline diet and are not used to eat large volumes of fresh fruits and vegetables.

3. Antioxidants (pHion Berry Supplement)

It is difficult to eat enough of the specific antioxidant foods consistency to get ideal effects, thus a supplement is a great tool. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are believed to cause harm at the cellular level leading to diverse health hazards such as premature aging of the skin and cancer.

4. Prebiotic Fiber (pHion Prebiotic Fiber)

This supplement is one of the two digestive enzyme supplements that is excellent for anyone with mild stomach irritation, irritation caused by acidity, irritable bowel syndrome and anyone who wants a healthy digestive system. Both prebiotic fiber and probiotics are staples in both alternative and traditional medical treatments of gastro-intestinal disorders. It is possible to create prebiotic fiber in your digestive system by eating starchy or large quantities of raw vegetables, however you must continue this regime, which is especially difficult if your stomach is already in distress. Prebiotic fiber supplements, made up of beneficial soluble and insoluble fiber, increase intestinal health by assisting in the body’s natural defenses.

5. Probiotics (pHion Probiotic Blend)

The better known of the digestive supplements, probiotics are multifunctional. Not only are they able to balance the pH of the digestive system, they also help manage the “good” and “bad” microorganisms in our stomach. Within our stomach, colonies of potentially dangerous bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, share space with helpful bacteria that assist in activities such as digesting food. Probiotics help maintain this delicate balance by acting as food for the beneficial bacteria and aggressively combat unhealthy bacteria. Specific live organisms like Lactobacillus acidophilus, such as those found in live culture yogurts, are found in probiotics and ensure the population of potentially destructive microorganisms remains inactive.

By combining these supplements with a healthy diet and a consistent exercise routine, you will be on your way to a healthier lifestyle.
