Acid-A-Cal contains compounds, vitamins, and minerals which may help to maintain balanced pH levels within the body. Abnormal acid-alkaline levels contribute to a number of abdominal discomforts. More importantly, unbalanced pH levels prevent the natural absorption of calcium.
Enzamatic Therapy's Acid-A-Cal is formulated to help the body maintain a proper pH balance. Acid-A-Cal may normalize your acid-alkaline levels and promote natural calcium absorption. Calcium, as we all know, is a nutrient essentail for bone health and strength.

Questions and answers:
Question: Does this product help dissolve existing calcium deposits in the body?
- A: Acid-A-Cal may normalize your acid-alkaline levels and promote natural calcium absorption.
Question: would this benefit someone with rheumatoid arthritis?
-
A: Acid A Cal helps the body to absorb calcium better which helps build and maintain strong bones. Vitamin D may also be a great vitamin to add to your routine.
Methods:
In a cohort of 44 patients with RA, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels, parathyroid hormone levels, C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured. Disease activity was evaluated by calculating the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). A control group (n = 44), matched for age and sex, was evaluated as well.
Results:
In the cohort of 44 patients with RA 25(OH)D3 levels were found to be low compared with the control group, 25(OH)D3 being 15.26 ± 1.07 ng/ml [mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)] and 25.8 ± 1.6 ng/ml in the patient and control group respectively (Student’s t test, p < 0.001). Parathyroid hormone levels were 71.08 ± 7.02 pg/ml (mean ± SEM) (normal values 10.0–65.0 pg/ml), CRP 7.6 ± 1.57 mg/litre (mean ± SEM) (normal values < 3 mg/litre) and ESR was 38.0 ± 4.6 mm/h (mean ± SEM) in the group of patients with RA. Levels of 25(OH)D3 were found to be negatively correlated to the DAS28, the correlation coefficient being −0.084. Levels of 25(OH)D3 were also found to be negatively correlated to CRP and ESR, the correlation coefficient being –0.115 and −0.18, respectively.
Conclusion:
It appears that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in patients with RA, and that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to disease severity in RA. As vitamin D deficiency has been linked to diffuse musculoskeletal pain, these results have therapeutic implications. Vitamin D supplementation may be needed both for the prevention of osteoporosis as well as for pain relief in patients with RA. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3539179/ Seacoast conclusion Though the study did show that the overall RA patients had low vitamin D levels, the study only contained 44 patients thus larger studies should be done to further confirm this theory.

Question: My stomach hurts a little, is this normal after taking two pills
- A: It is essential for the body to maintain an optimal PH level in order to function properly. Overly alkaline body fluids can make calcium harder to absorb. Acid-a-Cal balances PH levels by combining ammonium cholride, betain hydrochloride, and calcium phosphate into a capsule form helping in the process of breaking down calcium deposits throughout the body. Insomnia may result but stomach pain should not. Please consult your physician regarding pain in your stomach.
