Frequently asked questions | Alka

This depends on where you live. Please contact our costumer service team for more information.

You can indeed be acidified even though you have a good pH value. When waste products have deposited, you no longer measure them in your urine.

Acidification is caused by nutrition, stress, radiation, exhaust fumes, use of medication and excessive exercise.

Acidification and deacidification is a continuous process. You may therefore permanently deacidify. If the symptoms are better, you can lower the dose to a lower maintenance dose.

No, you would develop nutritional deficiencies. During the deacidification process, we recommend to consume 60% alkaline-forming food and 40% acidifying food.

The acid / base food list can be found on our website

Yes, we have alkaline recipes for you. You can find them in the main menu.

Yes, you can. When you are deacidifying, you can drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day.

Our body also needs acidifying food. It's about balance. If you are not deacidifying, you should consume 80% alkaline and 20% acidifying food. If you are deacidifying, you can keep this levels at 60% alkaline and 40% acidifying. Make sure to stay as close to nature as possible. Do not eat packets, bags, soda and be moderate with alcohol.

At Alka you pay the stated amount. We do not charge shipping costs for orders above €75. A purchase amount lower than € 75? We use shipping costs of € 5.95. In addition, a surcharge of € 1.75 applies to paying via "Klarna, pay afterwards" for this payment method.

Yes, all prices stated on the Alka website include VAT.

Acidification is a continuous process. Acidic waste products are created in your body every day. Continuing to deacidify with Alka® therefore offers the optimal counterbalance so that you can maintain good health.

Alka® products do not fall under homeopathic or classical anthroposophical products and are therefore not registered as such.

Your pet may also drink alkaline water. This has the same deacidifying effect as in humans. For dogs and cats we recommend putting 10 Alka® Drops in a stone drinking bowl with (about 500 ml) of water in it, or to use the pHpets drops which we developed specify for pets. Don't forget to change the water in the morning and in the afternoon.

Complaints such as flu, inflammation, fatigue and excessive urination are classified as deacidification symptoms. These arise because the breakdown of waste acids is greater than the body can process in its own way. How long the deacidification symptoms persist depends on the amount of waste acids in the body.

We have a flat rate shipment of €4,75 on all orders and FREE shipment above €75

Our products are classified as dietary supplements and are not reimbursed.

Spring water is often acidic and has a pH value between 6 and 7. You must then add more Alka® drops (6 instead of 4) to increase the pH value to 9 - 10. We recommend that you use tap water. As its pH value is higher than 7. If you add 4 Alka® drops to tap water, this will lead to a pH value between 9 to 10.

Supplements can be taken in addition to deacidification.

The pH value of urine is lower because many acids are excreted through urine. Urine will only ideally have a pH of 7 or higher. However, this almost never happens.

No, the products are not on the doping list.

We do not recommend dissolving baking soda in water and drinking it. This is converted in your stomach by the stomach acid into water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and table salt (NaCl). The salt formation can then increase your blood pressure. Alka® products have been specifically developed to counter this undesirable effect.

For a stoma we recommend Alka® Drops as they have their effect in the stomach, via the stomach wall cells.

Cellulite develops because of the build-up of acidic slags in the legs / buttocks. By actively deacidifying and building up sufficient minerals again, the waste slags are dissolved after a few months and the skin becomes smoother.

By drinking a few cups of Alka® Tea daily. Herbs have the property of being able to bind acids well, which stimulates drainage. In addition, taking alkaline foot, hand and full body baths with Alka® Bath is very good for removing loosened acids from the body

Make sure that you get plenty of minerals and trace elements. Eat plenty of vegetables and take vegetable mineral supplements (Alka® Greens). These minerals will bind with the soaked waste acids.

Reduce your dose or build in or rest for 1 to 2 days. For example, drink water and Alka® Tea, but do not use drops. This temporarily slows or stops the active deacidification process and gives the body some rest. After 2 days you can slowly start again with active deacidification. Always adjust the dose according to your feelings.

The difference between Alka® Drops and Alka® Tabs is that with Alka® Drops the body itself produces bicarbonate via the stomach wall cells, Alka® Tabs contains bicarbonate that only dissolves in the intestines and is absorbed into the blood via the intestinal wall (so direct versus indirect supply of bicarbonate).

That is certainly possible, but always drink a full glass from it. When you take a sip each time, not enough bicarbonate is produced by the body. Bicarbonate is the substance that ensures the deacidification.

You can drink Alka® Drops to prevent acidification. From the age of 40, your body will make less active bicarbonate, which means that waste products and accumulated acids are removed to a lesser extent. Daily deacidification to prevent acidic waste accumulation is still the best.

Spring water is often acidic and has a pH value between 6 and 7. You should then add more Alka® drops (5 to 6 instead of 4) to increase the pH value to 9 - 10. We recommend tap water as its pH value is higher than 7. If you add 4 Alka® drops to tap water, this will lead to a pH value between 9 to 10.

If you have a stoma we recommend Alka® Drops as they have their effect in the stomach, via the stomach wall cells.

An empty stomach with Alka® Drops means about 20 minutes before a meal or 1½ to 2 hours after a meal.

If you cannot use potassium due to the pursuit of a very constant potassium level (with heart medication), we recommend the Alka® Tabs Calcium in combination with Alka® Drops. In addition, people with osteoporosis or a calcium deficiency can also use the best Alka® Tabs Calcium in combination with Alka® Drops.

Alka® Drops can also be added to the tea or coffee to slightly increase the quality, so that it makes your body less acidic. This is independent of the amount of glasses of water or Alka® Tea with drops that you should drink daily. You can also heat the water without harming the effect, but as soon as you start mixing it with sugar (lemonade syrup) you will acidify the water again. Pure spring / tap water with Alka® Drops is most effective for your body.

Alka® Drops can be combined with Alka® Tabs. Both products have the same goal: deacidification by adding bicarbonate to the body. The difference is that they do this in a different way. Alka® Tabs contains bicarbonate. Alka® Drops ensure that the body itself produces extra bicarbonates. A combination increases the dosage of bicarbonates and accelerates the deacidification process.

Yes, alkaline water with Alka® Drops in it can then be boiled without affecting the pH value.

4 glasses of water of approximately 250ml with 4 drops daily is the correct dose

The white deposit that develops after a while is lime scale (calcium carbonate). This process depends on the calcium content in the water and proceeds as follows: by adding Alka® droplets, present calcium reacts with hydroxide ions (OH-) to form calcium hydroxide (CaOH). Calcium hydroxide then reacts with carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This forms the white deposit in the glass. Calcium carbonate (lime) is not dangerous, but does not yield much in this form. It does affect the effectiveness as the pH value of the water decreases (OH ions are used in this limescale process). To avoid limescale build-up, keep the basic water closed so that it does not react with CO2 from the air. The fact why this happens more often with some (spring) water than with another is due to the calcium content of the different (spring) waters.

Yes, but adjust the dose for children to 2 glasses of water per day containing 4 Alka® drops.

The answer is yes, but keep the following in mind: (reverse) osmotic water and distilled water is acidic, as this water is so pure that it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. When you add Alka® drops, the carbon dioxide will act as a buffer, so that the pH value of the water hardly rises. You will therefore have to add more Alka® drops to the water to achieve the desired pH value of> 9. With a pH strip you can measure how many drops you need to add to a glass of distilled / osmotic water to reach a desired pH value.

The Brita filter also filters many minerals, causing the pH value to be slightly lower. To get Brita water alkaline enough you will have to add 1 or 2 extra drops. If necessary, you can use pH strips to measure how many drops should be added to get the pH value of Brita water around 9. (pH value has a logarithmic scale which means that you have to add more and more drops to increase a pH point. From 6 to 7 is faster than from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9, and so on).

When using 16 drops per day (4 glasses with 4 drops per glass) you will do about 3 months with a bottle of Alka® Drops. There are approximately 1,440 drops in one bottle.

In principle you can use Alka® Drops without the advice of your doctor. However, you can always consult your doctor about the use of Alka® products.

Some people experience mild detoxification symptoms (tiredness, mild headaches) at first. These detoxification symptoms are a sign that the deacidification is starting. They disappear when most of the waste acids have been neutralized and removed from the body.

With a water ionizer you can separate tap water by means of electrolysis into acid and alkaline water. You must mount the device to your tap. The problem with a water ionizer is that the obtained pH value is sometimes insufficient for the body to make enough bicarbonate to actively dissolve waste acids (uric acids, cholesterol acids, fatty acids, lactic acids, etc.). With Alka® Drops you can determine the pH value of water yourself by adding more or fewer drops to water.

You may put more than 4 drops in one glass of water. If you put more drops in a glass of water, the taste may become slightly more bitter due to the high concentration of minerals. In some cases it is advisable to add more drops, for example when the water from the tap is more acidic (pH value around 6 - 6.5).

The difference between Alka® Drops and Alka® Tabs is that with Alka® Drops the body itself produces bicarbonate via the stomach wall cells, Alka® Tabs contains bicarbonate that only dissolves in the intestines and is absorbed into the blood via the intestinal wall (so direct versus indirect supply of bicarbonate).

In principle you can use Alka® Tabs without advice from your doctor. However, you can always consult your doctor about using the Alka® products.

No, you can simply take Alka® Tabs tablets during or after a meal. The gastro-resistant coating around the tablets ensures that they only gradually dissolve in the intestines. This is a very effective and safe way to add bicarbonate to the body. Note: you cannot take Alka® Tabs with basic water (water Alka® Drops) as basic water will affect the coating of Alka® Tabs.

Alka® Tabs Calcium consists of calcium carbonate in pure form. The tablet dissolves in the intestines and enters the blood through the intestinal wall. There, by reaction with carbonic acid, calcium carbonate is converted into calcium bicarbonate, thereby increasing the alkaline buffers. Pure ionized calcium is also added to the body, which is good for the bones. Alka® Tabs Original is a tablet that already consists of sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. This is directly absorbed into the blood via the intestinal wall. For people who are not allowed to have sodium or potassium, or people who suffer from osteoporosis, Alka® Tabs Calcium is a good choice. Alka® Tabs Magnesium consists of magnesium carbonate in pure form. The tablet dissolves in the intestines and enters the blood through the intestinal wall. There, by reaction with carbonic acid, the magnesium carbonate is converted into magnesium bicarbonate, whereby the basic buffers are increased. Pure ionized magnesium is also added to the body. Alka® Tabs Magnesium is a good choice for stress, muscle complaints or insomnia.

It doesn't matter which shape you choose. The deacidifying effect of all 3 types is the same. The composition is different because some people prefer to get more Calcium or Magnesium. If you would like to know which tablet suits you best, please contact our coaches.

Alka® Tabs Calcium has a gastro-resistant coating that ensures that calcium carbonate is not already neutralized by the stomach acid. In addition, Alka® Tabs Calcium has a time-dependent release, which means that calcium carbonate dissolves dosed in the intestines. Alka® Tabs Calcium is made up of pure ionized calcium. Many other calcium tablets contain impurities which have a negative effect when they are absorbed into the blood. The purity of a calcium tablet is important for long-term health.

In principle, you can use Alka® Tabs Calcium without the advice of your doctor. However, you can always consult your doctor about the use of Alka® products.

If you cannot use potassium due to the pursuit of a very constant potassium level (with heart medication), we recommend the Alka® Tabs Calcium in combination with Alka® Drops.

Spermidine stimulates an important process in your body, namely autophagy. Autophagy is the body's own ability to clean up cells and get rid of waste products.

The top 5 foods that contain the most spermidine per 100 grams are:

1. Wheat germ - 24.3 mg
2.  Dried soybeans - 20.7 mg
3. Cheddar (matured for at least 1 year) - 19.9 mg
4.  Mushrooms - 8.8 mg
5. Peas - 6.5 mg

Choose a supplement with special, natural and organically grown buckwheat. This kind of buckwheat is gluten-free and is the highest dosed natural form of spermidine (5 grams per gram). If you cannot find a supplement made from buckwheat, you can use wheat germ extract (this has a spermidine concentration of 1.2 grams per gram), but is not gluten-free. Please avoid synthetic spermidine for your own health.

Often the spermidine supplements with a content of more than 6 mg per gram are synthetic. You can also scan the product label for “trihydrochloride”, this is an indicator that you are looking at the synthetic form of spermidine.  Please avoid synthetic spermidine for your own health.

Dosage and usage is different for each supplement. Please keep to the instructions on the packaging for safe use.

The substance spermidine was first discovered in sperm and that is how the name spermidine was born. However the spermidine used for supplements has nothing to do with sperms.

That is certainly possible, choose supplements based on specially grown, organic buckwheat germs, these are gluten free. The wheat germ extract always contains gluten.

Studies show that spermidine supplementation with a plant extract, such as buckwheat and wheat germ, is safe. The safe upper limit for spermidine supplements is set at 6 mg per day. If you are pregnant, taking medication or have medical symptoms, talk to your doctor before starting spermidine supplementation.

It is difficult to get spermidine through your diet on a daily base, mainly because we do not eat food with a high dose of spermidine every day. Also, due to soil depletion (in non-organic agriculture), there are far fewer nutrients in our food and therefore also less spermidine.

By drinking a few cups of Alka® Tea daily. Herbs have the property of being able to bind acids well, which stimulates drainage. In addition, taking alkaline baths based on Alka® Bath is also very good for the removal of soaked acids from the body.

Alka® Tea helps to remove the waste acids. The elements in the herbs dissolve through their energy, the acidic salts in the body. Alka® Tea has a cleansing effect on the liver, bladder and kidneys.

Alka® Bath can also be used as a hand bath or as a foot bath.

Alka® Bath is an alkaline bath salt that helps the body to dispose of acid waste. By adding Alka® Bath to your bath water, the water will get a alkaline value of approximately 8.5 pH. Acidic waste products, which are in your body, are transported from the inside to the outside through the skin by an osmotic pressure build by the bath salt, while the acidic deposits on the skin are neutralized by the alkaline bath water.

Yes, babies are also allowed in Alka® Bath. In fact this is very good and beneficial for their soft skin.

We recommend a bath time of 30 - 60 minutes for optimal results.

We recommend a bath time of 20 -30 minutes for optimal results.

You can take an Alka Bath 1 to 3 times a week.

2 times a week. In case of need you can take a foot bath more often. Please contact our health coaches for personal advice.

2 times a week. In case of need you can take a foot bath more often. Please contact our health coaches for personal advice.

Alka® Bath is perfect when you are experiencing skin problems. The bath salt is formulated in such a way that it supports both problematic and healthy skin.

Alka® Bath can be used on its own but can also be combined with Alka® Scrub and Alka® Cream for healthy and radiant skin.

Yes, Alka® Cream is very suitable for use on your face.

Any advantages are; the skin recovers quickly after damage from, among other things, a sunbath, insect stings, scrapes or a recent scars. New skin cells grow fastest at an alkaline level between pH 7.6 and pH 8.2.

Alka Crème is a versatile cream and has a unique alkaline pH value that allows the healthy acid-base balance of the skin to be restored.

Alka® Cream consists of carefully composed ingredients such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, shea butter, vegetable squalane, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10.

Absolutely, Alka® Cream is very good for all types of baby skin and is extremely suitable for red or irritated skin.

Alka® Cream can be used alone but also be combined with Alka® Scrub and Alka® Bath for healthy and radiant skin.

Twice a day. In case of need, you can rub the skin with Alka® Cream several times a day.

Alka® Cream can be used when you have skin problems. The cream has a healing effect and stimulates the healthy regeneration of your skin cells.

Alka® Deo is suitable for every body and armpit. Everyone sweats and develops the smell of sweat from puberty on, some more than others. By choosing to produce Alka® Deo with a soft smell, we offer you a gender-neutral deodorant that can be used by both adolescents and adults.

Alka® Deo is vegan and has not been tested on animals, so the deodorant is suitable for vegans and animal lovers.

Alka® Deo can also be used when you have skin problems or sensitive skin. The high pH value makes it particularly skin-friendly. An alkaline environment is like an oasis of well-being for our skin, allowing hydration and rejuvenation while preventing the growth of harmful bacteria. The formula contains no allergens, the  natural oils and alkaline ingredients make Alka® Deo particularly skin-friendly.

We chose to produce Alka® Deo with a light, fresh and gentle smell that reminds us of coconuts, lily of the valley and almonds.

The ambient temperature can affect the spread ability of your Alka® Deo. If the temperature is low, the stick may be a bit hard and a little more difficult to use.  If Alka® Deo is held against the armpit for 10 seconds, the temperature of your body makes it softer again. This little trick allows you to use Alka® Deo easily.

"Better" is a serious word, but if you ask us and our customers, then yes! Alka® Deo is a natural anti-odorant that keeps your armpits fresh and uses only the power of nature.

With Alka® Deo we want to offer you an alkaline alternative to the normal deodorant: super effective, very alkaline and developed for the wellbeing of your skin and your body. Alka® Deo is not like other natural deodorants: it neutralizes bacteria to prevent the development of unwanted odors while protecting and nurturing your skin.

Spoiler alert: It's the aluminum! Alka® Deo is 100% aluminum free; So there are no stains.

But back to the beginning: Why do stains occur at all? Honestly, deodorants do not cause stains if they are really ONLY deodorant. These stains occur when  the proteins in your sweat react with aluminum (chloride) and other chemicals in your antiperspirant.

Due to the aluminum connections, the cells in our welding ducts swell and prevent sweat from being released.

Alka® Deo is neither an antiperspirant nor does it contain aluminum.

First of all, congratulations from all of us at Alka!!

Second, even more good news: Alka® Deo is 100% natural and completely harmless. It does not contain any ingredients that can harm you, your body or your baby.

However, since most pregnant women want to be especially sure which products they use, it's important that you know: Alka® Deo contains no nanoparticles: nothing gets into your body. It stays on the outer layer of your skin.

In addition, due to the lack of aluminum, Alka ® Deo does not block pores or glands, so your body's natural temperature regulation is preserved.

And if you want to be double or even triple safe, you can check the ingredients of Alka® Deo on our website to see if there is anything there that you might be allergic or sensitive to.

We recommend trying Alka® Deo for at least two weeks. If you have used an antiperspirant, your body has to excrete the aluminum salts that clog the pores under your to function normally again.

Yes. Our formula has been developed for all skin types and the high pH value makes it particularly skin-friendly. An alkaline environment is like an oasis of well-being for our skin, allowing hydration and rejuvenation while preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.

No, not all deodorants and antiperspirants are vegan (and/or cruelty free).

It's easy to check if your deodorant is vegan. Take your stick or spray can and look for one of the following ingredients:

• Lanolin
• Glycerol
• Oleic acid (a.k.a. Oleyl stearate, oleyl ,oleate or tallow)
• Stearic acid
• Elastin

If you find one of them in the synopsis, you are NOT holding a vegan deodorant in your hand.

By the way: There are great vegan alternatives for all these ingredients, so they are really not necessary.

Another thing: There is also some confusion about the fact that vegan products are equal to cruelty free. However, there are vegan products that are still being tested on animals.  Conversely, being cruelty free does not guarantee that a product is vegan.

With Alka® Deo you don't have to worry: Alka® Deo is vegan and cruelty free. Exclusively tested on human armpits.

The pH value of urine is lower because many acids are excreted through urine. Urine will only ideally have a pH of 7 or higher. However, this hardly ever happens.

The three colors on the test strip measure the OH¯ ions or the pH value of the urine. The pH test strips measure to an accuracy of 0.5. The most similar color on the chart is the pH value of your urine. Sometimes it may be that 2 colors are indicated, for example, pH 6 while 1 color points more towards pH 5.5. Then the pH value is 5.8.

That is up to you. Some people measure weekly while others never measure their pH.

Measuring with a pH strip is like taking a snapshot, it measures the moment. Factors (such as stress and nutrition) can influence the pH value.

You can indeed be acidified even though you have an alkaline pH value. When waste products have been deposited in the body in a solid form, you can not measure them in your urine any longer, as they arent in there.

Sometimes animals can suffer from deacidification symptoms in the beginning, such as fatigue, an increase in the original symptoms or changes in the stool. Deacidification phenomena arise because the breakdown of waste acids is greater than the body can process in its own way. Although these complaints may be unpleasant for the animal, it is a good sign. How long the deacidification symptoms persist depends on the amount of waste acids in the body. They usually disappear after a week.

pHpets® drops can also be added to the water afterwards. However, never double the dose at once, as this could make the water too alkaline. If the water becomes too alkaline, the taste can change and the animal does not want to drink it anymore.

For optimal deacidification it is important that the animal's drinking water receives the correct acidity (9.5 - 10). This acidity is the same for all animals. The amount of drops needed therefore only depends on the amount of drinking water into which the drops are put.

Sooner or later every animal will start to acidify with all its consequences. Prevention is therefore better than waiting for an animal to become acidic. pHpets® is therefore recommended for every animal. If an animal has already been acidified, deacidification with pHpets® is the way to solve this again.

pHpets® drops is free from allergens.

No interactions are known with other dietary supplements and / or drugs. Always consult the attending veterinarian if you want to give pHpets® drops in combination with medication to your pet.

It is best not to dissolve baking soda in water, because your stomach will convert it into water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The salt formation can increase the blood pressure. Alka® products have been developed to counteract this undesirable effect.

See also the question about deacidification phenomena. Some animals may initially experience mild detoxification symptoms (e.g. fatigue, change in stool). These detoxification symptoms are a sign that the deacidification is starting. They disappear when most of the waste acids have been neutralized and disposed of.

If the animal comes into contact with undiluted drops, this can give the animal a strong burning sensation. In case of contact with the skin or muzzle it is sufficient to rinse well with water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse well with water and have it checked by a veterinarian to be sure.

Depending on the animal and the reason for which pHpets® drops are taken, the time after which an effect is noticeable differs. This is usually between 2 weeks and 2 months.

We have developed special alkaline drops for pets, the pHpets. These drops have the same deacidifying effect as our Alka Drops in humans.

As far as is known, this product can be used without objection during pregnancy and lactation. Always discuss this with the attending veterinarian.

pHpets® can be used indefinitely. New waste acids are created in the body every day. Continuing to deacidify daily offers an optimal counterbalance for your animal.

If the water with the droplets is left in it for too long, the water will slowly become less alkaline through contact with oxygen in the air. It is therefore important to change the water in time for optimal operation. Our advice is to refresh the drinking water twice a day and add more drops.

pHpets®​ drops are tasteless, colourless and odourless. Your pet will not notice the drops in its drinking water.

Your pet will benefit greatly from drinking alkaline water as a preventive measure. Sooner or later every animal will acidify with all its consequences. De-acidifying on a daily basis to prevent acidic waste accumulations still remains the most effective! Prevention is therefore better than waiting until the animal is acidified.

If too many drops are added to the water, the water will become more alkaline than the desired pH value of 10. Ultimately, the taste of the water will change and the chances are that your animal will no longer want to drink it. With drinking water bowls from 250 ml, 1 to 2 drops too much is no problem. With smaller drinking water bowls, or with more too many drops, it is better to change the water and add more drops

No, never give your pet undiluted drops! pHpets® is very strongly alkaline (pH 13.5), so that the drinking water of your pet receives the desired pH value after you add the drops. This means the drops are much too strong to consume undiluted. Undiluted drops can lead to things like a strong burning sensation for your animal.

pHpets® drops are made specifically for dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. pHpets® drops can also be safely used for a large number of other animal species. The pHpets® drops are not suitable for fish and birds. If you want to know whether pHpets® drops are suitable for your pet, you can contact our customer service.

The composition is different. The Alka® Drops contain 2 acidity regulators and the pH Pets contains 1 acidity regulator.

You certainly can.
