What are the benefits of taking alkaline capsules?

Answer 1

As simple as it sounds, they are to alkalize your body. They are designed for those that have eaten too many acidic foods for too long and shifted their pH level too far into the acidic range.

If you're not sure if you need alkalizing capsules/powders/whatever, you should have your pH tested (you can get pH testing strips cheap at a store, although it might be listed as "litmus paper"). Just dip the pH testing strips in your saliva or your urine and it'll change color to indicate your pH. It'll probably have a range listed on there, but you should be right around a 7 (slightly more acidic, but close). Good luck!

Answer 2

NO BENEFITS except to the capsule makers. They DO NOT change the pH of your body! The only important and closely maintained fluid in the body is blood. The body will, at all costs, attempt to maintain the pH of arterial blood between about 7.35-7.45.The pH of saliva as part of the digestive process can and does vary through out the day, before during and after meals. The pH of urine as a bodily waste product also can vary according to numerous reasons. The body can not survive for any significant period of time with an alkaline ( 7.0 or lower) pH.
