OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of a greens alkalizing dietary supplement on urinary pH levels in individuals with lower-than-average pH levels. METHODS: The present study investigated the effects of an alkalizing formula (Reserveage Wholeganic Greens(TM)) on four individuals who had average urinary pH levels below 6.0 for three consecutive days. Following the three-day, baseline period, participants received Reserveage Wholeganic Greens(TM) for four consecutive days and were instructed to continue to measure their urine pH levels. Paired samples t-tests were used to examine pH levels before and after a four-day treatment period with Reserveage Wholeganic Greens(TM). RESULTS: Compared to baseline, mean urine pH levels in all volunteers were significantly higher following the supplementation with Reserveage Wholeganic Greens(TM) (5.89 ± 0.20 vs 5.56 ± 0.23; P<0.01). Participants' pH levels were also significantly higher than baseline on days 5, 6, and 7 of the treatment period (P < 0.05). Noteworthy, on day 7, participants' mean pH levels were significantly higher than at the beginning of the treatment period (6.03 ± 0.15 at day 7 vs 5.65 ± 0.24 at day 4; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that supplementation with Reserveage Wholeganic Greens(TM) has an alkalizing effect on the body and can increase the urine pH levels in individuals with lower-than-average pH levels.
