To get a quick "average" pH, you can measure yourself two hours after breakfast and two hours after lunch. Do this over a period of days and get your average numbers. Then use this formula:

(Avg Urine pH  ____  + Avg Saliva pH X 2 ___  ) / Divided by 3  =  ___

Average pH Between 6 and 7

If your average pH is between 6 and 7 just use the neutral calciums of gluconate and orotate to build up your total alkalinity along with other minerals and trace minerals.

Average pH Above 7

If your pH is above 7, add calcium lactate and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Clinicians have found about 1000mg twice a day of C is good, and the higher above pH 7 you go, the more vitamin C you can take.  Stop the calcium lactate when you come into range between 6 and 7 and pull back on the vitamin C.

Do not take vitamin D.

Average pH Below 6


If your pH is below 6, add  or Ionic calcium .  With pH 5.6 to 6 clinicians have found that adding 1000 IU of vitamin D once or twice a day is beneficial and pH from 5.2 to 5.6 up to 5000 IU of vitamin D is good, while pH below  5.0  up to 50000 IU of vitamin D once or twice a day would be ok as little vitamin D is being absorbed in the acid terrain. You can use the vitamin D to help push the pH up.  Stop the calcium citrate and carbonate when you come into pH range 6 to 7. Pull back on vitamin D and go to cod liver oil for vitamin D requirements.

Do not take vitamin C.
