Acidosis
Condition where the body has increased acidity (lowered pH of blood and tissues). Can be metabolic (acid accumulation or base loss, e.g., in diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, diarrhea) or respiratory (CO2 buildup due to breathing problems). Requires treatment of the underlying cause. Sodium bicarbonate or citrate supplements may be used for correction under strict medical supervision.

What may help (1)
- Potassium Supplements MediumClinical
Potassium bicarbonate plays a role in regulating the body's acid-base balance. It can be utilized to help correct metabolic acidosis and restore optimal pH levels.
What to avoid (4)
- MCT Oil Supplements HighClinical
If you have certain types of acidosis, especially diabetic ketoacidosis, MCT oil can increase ketone levels, potentially worsening your condition. Consult your doctor.
- Methionine Supplements MediumClinical
If you have acidosis, taking methionine could increase your body's acid load, potentially worsening your condition. Consult your doctor.
- Ketogenic Diet Practices LowClinical
The ketogenic diet can induce metabolic acidosis, which is dangerous for individuals with pre-existing conditions like renal tubular acidosis or severe kidney impairment.
- Vitamin C Supplements MediumTheoretical
If you have acidosis, especially severe forms, avoid ascorbic acid as its acidic nature could potentially worsen your condition. Buffered forms are generally safer.
