alkalizer
Base-boosting substance
An alkalizer is a substance that raises pH, making something more alkaline or basic.
The term appears most often in chemistry and medicine, where alkalizers counteract acidity: Sodium bicarbonate acts as an alkalizer in the bloodstream.
Urinary alkalizers help prevent certain kidney stones by reducing urine acidity.
