alkalizers

pH-raising substances

Alkalizers are substances that raise the pH of a solution, making it more alkaline or basic.

In medicine, alkalizers neutralize excess stomach acid or help correct acidic conditions in the body, as with antacids or certain dietary supplements.

The doctor recommended alkalizers to manage her acid reflux.

In chemistry and water treatment, alkalizers adjust pH levels for various industrial processes.
