Absolique Trichologist Talks About Acid Buffers
When we are testing and checking body pH for acid/alkaline balance, we may need to use acid buffers to help the body general pH balance reach to goal of 7 on the pH scale which is neutral. Absolique Trichologist shares the importance of body pH balance for the purpose of digestion, absorption, healing, repairing, transporting, detoxifying, and alkalising. If body pH is out of balance these important body functions are compromised and can lead to deficiencies, nutritional lows, weight gain, toxic overload and oxidative stress.
The first step is testing your pH. Absolique Trichologist uses and recommends Easy pH test kits (available from Absolique or online) which includes litmus testing paper and informative booklet with a food guide and information to help you understand what can impact pH positively and negatively. The booklet is a hand guide to help you make simple changes and to see how your body responds and if you can reach desired pH of 7.

- How to use lemon juice and or apple cider vinegar
When you know your pH, which is most likely acid to start with, you can then make changes and see how your body responds to this. Acid buffers can assist when it is difficult to budge your pH from acid to neutral in the early days depending on what has accumulated in your body. When your pH is below 7 in the morning or if you know you have been exposed to acid food, drinks, stress or festivities, you would use an acid buffer before bedtime to help buffer the acid during the night.
Various acid buffers ae available, Absolique Trichologist recommends a premade ACD Buffer (available in clinic) which is simple to use and all done for you. The base is bi carb of soda with some safe additives to make it palatable and easy to take. Simply mix 1 heaped teaspoon in 50ml filtered water, stir, drink, brush your teeth, go to the bathroom, go to bed. Only use a small amount of water as it is taken before bed.
Make your own acid buffers using bi carb, make sure it is organic and aluminium free. Start with half a teaspoon and mix as above, it is not very tasty so I recommend adding half a teaspoon of vitamin C powder or magnesium powder, or both as they will be used by the body and not wasted. Another good one is lemon juice that has historically been used as a start the day detox. Use juice of half a lemon in up to 50ml of water before bed, don’t forget to brush your teeth after taking lemon juice or at least swish your mouth with water. Another one is the amazing apple cider vinegar, organic with the mother, take 10-20ml with 20-50ml water before bed and follow above directions for teeth and getting ready for bed. These can also be taken throughout the day or to help with indigestion, but to be used solely as an acid buffer, take before bed.
Absolique premade acid buffer is medium strength, Bi carb is the strongest buffer, both lemon juice and apple cider vinegar have other nutritional and beneficial properties and are softer buffers. Absolique Trichologist suggest you try all the above-mentioned acid buffers and see how your body responds to choose the one that suits you on the day depending on your pH. It is a good idea to rotate them around or include the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar at other times of day as they are good digestive aids and support hydrochloric acid production (HCl, stomach acid) and bile flow which are both essential for digestion process.
