Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain constant conditions in its internal environment, where all physiological processes that keep it healthy take place.

The acid-base balance is an essential process for our body's homeostasis, as it helps maintain a level of acidity in the tissues (slightly alkaline pH) compatible with cellular well-being and the development of metabolic functions.

The main enemy of this balance is the accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) in the tissues. If present in excess, H+ ions cause acidification of the pH, creating an imbalance that damages cells and, consequently, tissues. The most common factors leading to this condition—called acidosis—include poor dietary habits and unhealthy lifestyles (diets high in fats and sugars, smoking, alcohol, stressful life rhythms), homemade weight-loss diets, and very intense physical activity. The latter, in particular, can generate metabolic stress due to the production of lactic acid and free radicals.

Excessively intense muscle activity can shift the acid balance toward more acidic values (lactic acidosis). This pH change can, in turn, negatively affect performance and cause:

• muscle loss and cramps
• mineral loss
• reduced anabolism and slowed protein synthesis
• decreased concentration and fatigue

BASIC PH+ contains magnesium citrates, potassium, zinc, and calcium—essential minerals for our body's functioning. Citrate salts are highly bioavailable and help rebalance acid-base metabolism. Citric acid can neutralize hydrogen ions throughout the metabolic cycle, then be broken down into carbon dioxide and eliminated through urine.
