FAQ

How can OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals benefit me?

OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals help to neutralise excess acidity while nourishing the cells with ionic Calcium, Magnesium, and trace elements, many of which are deficient in the soil and therefore are not present in the food we eat.

OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals are naturally made up of a high amount of ionic calcium and magnesium in an approximate 2:1 ratio with supporting minerals which are essential for strong bones and good health.

Many of the other elements in OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals are essential for human and animal life, which all work together for optimum absorption and excretion. As OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals contain a full spectrum of minerals, they can also help to flush out acid waste from the body, enabling its intricate systems to function optimally.
(On our BLOG you can see how all the minerals work together.)
For good digestion of foods, acid is necessary in the stomach. It is therefore recommended to take OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals which do not interfere with or neutralise gastric fluids. It has been shown that for best results Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, is better absorbed in small doses taken throughout the day, rather than a single megadose.

OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals are naturally ionised, and therefore do not depend on stomach acid for digestion.

OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals contains 74 minerals and trace elements confirmed by an independent laboratory analysis.

Why is it important to be slightly Alkaline?

Millions of people in the world have high levels of acidity in their bodies which cause joint problems, weakened bones, high blood pressure and other chronic health conditions.

Scientists have discovered that healthy people tend to have a slightly alkaline body pH and sick people are acidic. In our stressful world along with acid forming diets, OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals can be a valuable aid in keeping our body fluids in an ideal slightly alkaline state.
OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals help to restore and maintain the body’s acid/alkaline pH balance.

You can regularly test and monitor your body pH level with a simple saliva test.

The first step in establishing the state of your health and your bones is to assess your current pH by measuring the acid level of your saliva. (See details on this site).

The OCEANMILK® pH Litmus Dispenser and paper roll are available on this site, at Dis-Chem stores nationwide, selected pharmacies & the majority of health shops.

Which foods help to keep us slightly alkaline?

A healthy body keeps large alkaline reserves. These reserves are mostly held in your bones and are used to meet emergency demands when too many acid-forming foods are consumed. Over time these reserves may get depleted, which can lead to serious degenerative diseases. (See “Symptoms of Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies” on this site).

OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals have large amounts of bio available Calcium and Magnesium including a full spectrum of minerals required for metabolism.
Your body can only function optimally and sustain health in a slightly alkaline (7.45-7.5pH) environment. it is important to continually rebuild and maintain these reserves. This can be achieved by reducing the intake of substances that leave an acid residue, in relation to the foods that will build the alkaline reserves outlined below.

ALKALINE RESIDUE FOODS SHOULD BE 75% OF YOUR DIET

ALKALINE residue foods include most fruits and green vegetables, herbs, still water and unpasteurised milk.

ACID RESIDUE FOODS SHOULD BE 25% OF YOUR DIET ACID residue foods include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, grains, legumes, sparkling water, fizzy drinks, and oils.

How do I test my pH?

  1. Special litmus paper (4.5 – 7.5pH) is available on this site for testing saliva. This paper measures the acid / alkaline state of saliva and urine only, not for testing water.
    Instructions for urine readings are not given on this site. Please Contact Us for more information.
  1. The ideal time to test is first thing in the morning before eating, drinking, or brushing teeth.
  2. Tear off a 3cm strip of paper.
  3. Gather some saliva in your mouth.
  4. Drop some saliva from your tongue onto the paper to moisten it.
  5. Wait approximately 1 minute.
  6. Compare the colour of the wet paper to the pH scale on the front of the dispenser or the side of the box. Record your readings.
  7. The pH scale on your OCEANMILK® pH Litmus dispenser is marked from 4.5 to 7.5 Any number below 7 means that the sample you are testing is on the acid side. Above 7 is alkaline.
  8. The lower the number, the more acidic the pH reading is. Seven indicates a neutral state. Therefore, neither acid nor alkaline.
  9. Saliva readings should ideally be 7.5pH indicating a healthy, very slightly alkaline body state.

What do I do if my readings are consistently below 7.5?

Start taking OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals in the prescribed dosage.
If you are taking OCEANMILK® Alkaline Mineral powder take Vitamin D3 as well.

The OCEANMILK® Alkaline Mineral Capsules already have Vitamin D3 added. Recommended dosage 3x per day, preferably with water.

What if there is no change of colour at all?

Please read and follow instructions more carefully. Do not leave the paper on your tongue. You will wash off the chemicals and leave a slightly unpleasant taste in your mouth. Please do not over-saturate the paper with saliva.

Why is there no or little change in my pH after taking OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals for some time?

Please ensure that you are not drinking sparkling water or fizzy drinks. Your water filter may also have an “Ion Exchange Resin”. This will cancel out any minerals in the water that you are drinking.

Why is there no or little change in my pH after taking other products for some time?

Some foods need stomach acid for digestion. Non-ionised forms of Calcium and Magnesium may be difficult to absorb, therefore needing gastric acid for absorption.

As we get older our bodies do not produce enough gastric juices. OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals are already ionised and will not need these gastric acids for absorption.

Start taking OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals and keep a record of your readings after following the instructions carefully.
After taking OCEANMILK® Alkaline Minerals for some time, your body will start building up your alkaline reserves. This will show on your pH record.
