Description

A composition containing potassium citrate, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D

The present invention relates to a composition based on potassium citrates, calcium and magnesium alkalizing and vitamin D which is particularly suitable for supplementing the diet in case of lack of minerals due to stress or diet during diets and cures. weight loss, in cases of disturbances of mineral and acid-base balance; It is also suitable for preserving muscles, bones, teeth, blood pressure, cardiac rhythm and muscle, pulse, nervous and energetic performance and reducing fatigue. In addition, it may contain silicon and zinc for the maintenance of nails, hair and skin.

The current diet promotes mild metabolic acidosis, provides significantly fewer alkalis and a completely altered inorganic spectrum: significantly too much sodium and too little potassium, often too much calcium and too little magnesium. Poor nutrition, lack of exercise and stress are factors of hyperacidity. Stress, sports, diabetes, diet, slimming can cause the increase of acid in the metabolism.

Fasting leads to increased loss of protein, carbohydrates, water and minerals. Often then develops what is called a diet acidosis. During the breakdown of fats, ketones appear as intermediate products whose concentration in the blood increases following the increased decomposition of fats. Ultimately, this results in inhibition of uric acid elimination and thus an increase in uric acid in the blood and urine.

In protein-rich diets (eg, the Atkins diet), the body is overloaded with metabolic acids because of sulfur-containing proteins. It is especially the kidneys that are used for fasting and high protein diets. This is why in case of fasting, it is traditionally recommended to consume a lot of fruits and vegetables. These deacidify the body and provide the essential compensating minerals.

It is not only in the case of monodiètes that fruits and vegetables are very important for acid-base balance. On the contrary, they are the basis of any healthy diet. These foods contain few calories and sodium, but many vital substances and alkaline minerals such as eg. citrates, a lot of potassium and a particular calcium-magnesium ratio. Biologically, the human body is used to this natural spectrum of minerals.

In the current state of the art, the use of alkaline substances is known. However, the recipes are mostly rich in sodium and / or calcium and contain relatively little or no potassium at all, the ratio of calcium to magnesium is usually 2: 1, as long as these two minerals are present. In their electrolytic spectrum, they deviate a lot from the natural composition of fruits and vegetables

The alkaline substances based on sodium bicarbonate (natron) and calcium carbonate are not adequate, they are unnatural in the context of the balance of minerals. Both substances are inorganic and are mainly found in mineral water and rocks.

Natron reacts with the hydrochloric acid of the stomach to make a salt and alkalizes the intestine. Salt can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of stomach cancer and kidney stones. In the population, there is already overconsumption of sodium.

High doses of calcium carbonate are not a better solution: as a general study has shown, supplementation with calcium without vitamin D and magnesium increases by 30% the risk of heart attack from a daily dose of 800 mg already. Insufficient simultaneous intake of magnesium and a change in calcium-magnesium balance are responsible. In addition, high calcium intake increases the risk of aggressive prostate cancer by a factor of 2.5.

The mission of the present discovery is therefore to design an alkaline substance that cancels out the drawbacks of the current state of the art and is close to the alkaline principle of nature, especially fruits and vegetables.

This mission is effectively solved by a composition containing citrates of potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. According to the discovery, the ratio of calcium and magnesium minerals is less than 2, preferably even 1.8. an ideal form of presentation, the calcium and magnesium ratio is 3: 2.

Calcium and magnesium are combined with potassium and vitamin D in such a way that an optimal effect on ossification is achieved and that beneficial effects for the cardiovascular system appear, contrary to what is achieved with highly dosed calcium preparations.

In case of acid metabolism, the consumption and elimination of the vital substances, which are magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc, are stronger. The lack of magnesium is very common and can manifest in severe cases by muscle tremors, cramps, headaches, irritability and anxiety and lead to symptoms such as depression, psychosis, lightheadedness, irritation or confusion, as confirmed by the Food Safety Authorities (EFSA). EFSA confirms the important function of magnesium and other vital substances in the acid-base balance:

Magnesium e.g. for energy gain and reduced fatigue, for nerves, psyche, muscles and pulsations

Calcium eg. for muscles, nerves and energy gain Potassium eg. for normal tension, muscles and nerves

Zinc eg. for nails, hair, skin, immune system and acid-base balance

Magnesium, calcium and vitamin D for teeth and bones In Germany, men take on average 3300 mg of potassium a day, women 2860 mg. The Food in Nutrition Council of the USA and Canada recommends for all adults a daily intake of 4700 mg. This amount of potassium is needed to prevent and fight hypertension and strokes, salt hypersensitivity, kidney stones and osteoporosis

Potassium and magnesium stabilize the nerves, muscles, tension and deacidify the inside of the cells. In case of metabolic acidosis, the protons expel potassium and magnesium from the cells. Consequence: the body is depleted in potassium and magnesium, even when serum levels are normal or increased (paradox of potassium in case of acute metabolic acidosis). In case of mild chronic acidosis, the cells become depleted in potassium and magnesium while the protons accumulate. Thanks to the complementary intake of potassium and magnesium, the protons can be driven out of the intercellular space (intracellular deacidification).

Many scientific studies prove that the high alkaline content of vegetable food prevents osteoporosis. The present discovery, which has been shown to be particularly effective, contains calcium and vitamin D in a balanced ratio with magnesium and potassium for bone strengthening. Potassium citrate prevents the loss of calcium through the kidneys and its breakdown out of the bones. Thanks to this, a long-lasting strengthening of the bones can be achieved thanks to low amounts of calcium. Calcium and magnesium citrates are significantly better assimilated by the body than carbonates. Vitamin D also improves the assimilation of minerals.

In the course of life, renal function decreases by half because of metabolic acids and toxins. When kidney function weakens, the acids are not sufficiently eliminated. Hyperacidity causes a lack of citrates in kidney cells and allows the formation of stones. Thus, with age, the vicious cycle of metabolic acidosis increases with increasing loss of kidney function. Here again, the present discovery relieves renal cells by enriching them with citrates and alkalizing the urine.

It is especially potassium that is eliminated intensively (about 3 times more than sodium) during fasting and dieting. This is particularly problematic as acidosis occurs most of the time in case of fasting or diet. That's when potassium is important to compensate for the intracellular acid-base balance

In case of diet and slimming cure, the composition according to the invention assists in the desired sodium filtration and diuresis by simultaneously offsetting the mineral and acid-base balance. This greatly improves the general well-being during the fasting period.

Most of the time, a calcium to magnesium ratio of 2: 1 is currently recommended. However, this ratio does not correspond to the composition of fruits, vegetables and vegetable foods. Biologically, this report is not appropriate, but reflects our current eating habits.

Extensive analysis of the electrolytic composition of fruits and vegetables provided the following criteria: low in sodium, high in potassium, a natural calcium-magnesium ratio of about 3: 2. Fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of alkaline salts of organic acids, such as citrates.

The calcium-to-magnesium ratio of 3: 2, consistent with the discovery, surprisingly proved to be very effective for ossification with favorable effects on heart and blood pressure. A maximum daily dose of 1500 mg potassium was particularly favorable in the present discovery.

In a preferred form of presentation of the discovery, the composition further contains zinc and silicon and optional stevia as a natural sweetener.
