Baking Soda Acid-base Balance

Mediation of body acid-base balance

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the most common acid-base regulators in the body. Adding sodium bicarbonate to the diet helps to strengthen the body's buffering power. Usually poultry feed is corn as the main raw material, accounting for about 60% of the diet, thus inevitably produce acidic substances in the metabolic process. Sodium bicarbonate can neutralize gastric acid, dissolve mucus, reduce the viscosity of digestive juice, and strengthen the absorption of gastrointestinal tract, play a role in strengthening stomach, inhibiting acid and increasing appetite. At the same time, sodium bicarbonate is absorbed into the blood by the gastrointestinal tract, can neutralize the acidic substances in the blood, thereby reducing the acidity of the blood and maintaining the acid-base balance of various body fluids.
