Abstract
An improved dietary and/or therapeutic supplement composition comprising a quantity of a dietary and/or therapeutic supplement agent having a pH that upon ingestion with food or a beverage would limit the effectiveness of the agent and a sufficient amount of an alkaline electrolyte additive is provided in combination with the agent to raise the pH of the composition to a level of from about 8 to about 12.5 to increase the effectiveness and functional utilization of the agent while the composition is in the person's stomach.
Claims13
A method of improving uptake of a dry dietary supplement comprising:
- a) providing the supplement in a dry form;
- b) providing an alkaline electrolyte agent comprising electrolytes selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium electrolytes and mixes thereof in a dry form;
