Acid-base balance: understanding the essentials
Maintain your acid-base balance with the specialised food supplements available at Herba Barona, your natural health shop in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The balance between acids and bases in the body is a fundamental health parameter, often little-known to the public but increasingly documented by scientific research. Excess tissue acidity, promoted by modern diets, chronic stress and sedentary lifestyles, can contribute to persistent fatigue, joint discomfort, bone demineralisation and lower resistance to infections. Our selection of 10 products helps you restore this essential balance naturally and sustainably.
Blood pH is kept by the body within a very narrow range (between 7.35 and 7.45) thanks to complex buffer systems involving the lungs, kidneys and bone minerals. When intake of acidifying foods (excess animal protein, refined cereals, sugar, coffee, alcohol) exceeds the capacity of these buffer systems, the body draws on its alkalising mineral reserves — mainly calcium from bones and magnesium from muscles. Over the long term, this latent metabolic acidosis can lead to osteoporosis, kidney stones, chronic joint inflammation and progressive muscle loss, particularly after age 50.
Our acid-base balance supplements include:
Alkalising mineral citrates: calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, potassium citrate — the most effective forms to buffer tissue acidity and restore mineral balance
Alkalising powders from Dr. Jacob’s: balanced mineral salt complexes, recognised by health professionals for their effectiveness in correcting chronic acidosis
Spirulina and alkalising algae: spirulina, chlorella and klamath provide minerals and chlorophyll, naturally contributing to the body’s alkalisation
Mineral supplements: vitamin and mineral formulas specifically dosed to rebalance the acid-base terrain in depth
Birch sap: draining and remineralising, birch sap helps eliminate acids through the kidneys while providing valuable trace elements
Signs of an overly acidic terrain
Several symptoms can signal an acid-base imbalance: persistent fatigue despite adequate sleep, muscle and joint discomfort with no apparent cause, increased sensitivity to seasonal infections, brittle nails, dull hair and dry skin. A simple test using urinary pH strips (available at pharmacies) can assess tissue acidity levels. A morning urinary pH consistently below 6 suggests an acidic terrain requiring dietary correction and, where appropriate, targeted supplementation with alkalising minerals.

Personalised advice at Herba Barona in Paris 12e
At Herba Barona in Paris, our advisors assess your lifestyle and diet to determine your likely acidity level and recommend the products best suited to your situation. We always combine supplementation with simple, practical dietary advice: increasing green vegetables and alkalising fruit, reducing excess animal protein, favouring mineral waters rich in bicarbonates. This comprehensive approach, combining quality products with nutritional recommendations, guarantees lasting results and a tangible improvement in well-being.
The modern Western diet, rich in animal protein, refined cereals and processed products, is inherently acidifying. Even people who try to eat healthily can have an acidic terrain if they do not eat enough green vegetables, fresh fruit and alkalising foods every day. Chronic stress, urban pollution and intense physical activity are also often underestimated acidifying factors that considerably increase the body’s need for alkalising buffer minerals.
