The Foundation for Good Health and Wellbeing starts with Alka Vita

Alka Vita is a proprietary modified liquid silica concentrate solution, high in oxygen and silica, and is highly alkaline to offset our acidic lifestyles.

Taken daily in water Alka Vita concentrate drops provides the bio-available silica to help restore and maintain optimum body pH.

Supporting the Alka Vita Concentrate is the skin care Alka Vita Lotion and Spray, providing relief for small cuts, wounds, bed sores, insect bites, abrasions, skin irritations and burns with minimal blistering or scarring.
















The Importance of the Acid/Alkaline (pH) Balance of the Body  


One of the most important foundations for a healthy body is the correct acid/alkaline (pH) balance.

This commonly overlooked aspect of healthcare can lead to a myriad of disease and degenerative conditions.

The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in the body. Maintaining the recommended slightly alkaline pH of human blood at 7.365 is critical to optimal health. Blood with a pH value of 7.15 contains almost 65% more oxygen than blood with a pH of 7.0.

An over acidic body reduces the body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients. It reduces energy production within the cells as well as the cells ability to repair and detoxify metabolic waste products. Chronic low level acidosis is believed to be an underlying contributor to such conditions as diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis, heart disease, poor immunity, chronic infections and inflammation and many more chronic and degenerative conditions. In order to maintain the correct pH, as the body becomes acidic, calcium is removed from the bones to help raise the cellular and blood pH to a level where essential chemical processes can continue, resulting in loss of bone density.

Another serious aspect of acidity is that it provides a breeding ground for infectious conditions such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

MRSA is a strain of staph bacteria that’s resistant to the broad spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. Being dubbed the superbug, the antibiotic-resistant, MRSA is very contagious and is easily spread in environments such as hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centres.

Staph skin infections are normally found on the skin or in the nose and are generally harmless unless they enter the body through a cut or wound. MRSA can quickly cause a serious, sometimes fatal, widespread infection.     

The best way to protect yourself from being at risk of contracting MRSA is to keep the pH balance of your body functioning at optimum level which in turn allows your immune system to function competently and thus provide the protection from infection.

If the body maintains an alkalized state, infection, inflammation and disease conditions cannot exist.

“If you could only choose one supplement, then, Alka Vita should be your first choice”

Alka Vita is available from www.alkavita.co.nz
