Alkalife e-CalTM is a mineral dietary supplement which contains calcium carbonate powder with a time-release compound and enteric coating. The calcium carbonate in Alkalife e-CalTM, upon entering the bloodstream, becomes calcium bicarbonate by the dissolving action of carbonic acid in the blood. Alkalife e-CalTM can help prevent various acid-induced diseases by reducing excess acidic waste in the body. Calcium carbonate in natural form may contain impurities that can do harm in the blood. The calcium carbonate in Alkalife e-CalTM is impurity-free! It is also a helpful option for people who cannot tolerate potassium and/or sodium. Kidney dialysis patients have to watch their potassium intake. Some foreign countries are so bureaucratic so that they do not allow the importation of potassium bicarbonates in pill form, for no technical, medical or biological reasons, rather only because it is stated in the book of rules. To overcome these obstacles, Alkalife e-CalTM pills may help. Enteric-coated and time-release calcium carbonate powder delivered to the bloodstream may be too alkaline when it enters the bloodstream, because it is not in bicarbonate form. However, our blood contains plenty of carbonic acid, which dissolves calcium carbonate and converts it into calcium bicarbonate. Alkalife e-CalTM is a safe and very beneficial form of calcium in the blood. Not only does it provide bicarbonate to neutralize acid as e-Cal enters the bloodstream, but it also delivers very active calcium back to the body. Taking a regular calcium pill cannot achieve what Alkalife e-CalTM does, because (1) calcium carbonate doesn't dissolve well in water, (2) of the too little calcium carbonate that dissolves in the stomach, it will become water, carbon dioxide and calcium salt (as hydrochloric acid breaks down calcium carbonate). "Calcium carbonate is largely insoluble in water but is quite soluble in water containing dissolved carbon dioxide, combining with it to form the bicarbonate". The Columbia Encyclopedia
