BLG Health-Citric Acid for Blood Pressure

Citric Acid for Blood Pressure

Our bodies produce a a natural weak organic
acid called citric acid


Citric acid occurs widely in nature and is found
in a variety of plants and in relatively large
quantities in fruits (especially citrus fruits and
berries),in vegetables, leaves, roots and in
animal tissues and fluids such as in milk.
either as the free acid or as citrate ion.

It is also synthesized naturally in the metabolism
of man and animals.


It is an integral part of the Krebs (citric acid)
cycle involving the metabolic conversion of
carbohydrates, fats,and proteins in most living
organisms

As part of the Krebs cycle, citric acid,
together with malic acid, are involved with
complex chemical actions, resulting in the
production of carbon dioxide, and its
removal from the cells.

Citric acid is also used as a natural preservative
to maintain freshness of many products, and
serves this role, as well, in the Hypercet BPF.


It is primarily used in foods to produce a tart
taste and complement fruit flavors in carbonated
beverages, beverage powders, fruit-flavored
drinks, jams and  jellies, candy, sherbets,
water ices, and wine.

It is also used to reduce pH in certain canned
foods to make heat treatment more effective,
and in conjunction with the stabilization of oils
and nutritional fats, and in vegetable, fruit, fish
and meat preserves.


It easily mixes into liquids, making it a
valuable acid. Citric acid bonds easily to
minerals and metals, a process called chelation
It can help to take certain minerals with citric
acid, since the body will more easily digest
chelated minerals.

For example, some calcium  supplements can
come in the form of calcium citrate, and are
better absorbed by the body.

Citric acid, although acid in its fresh form
(lemon and limes) transforms during
metabolism into alkali. This is helpful to
your blood.

Our American diet tends to be overly acidic
from coffee, sodas, alcohol, and certain
proteins.

An acidic condition tends to be more
inflammatory and but may cause chronic

migraines skin irritation, or vommitting among
other side effects if used in excess.



In summary by being able to  easily mix in
the blood stream and its ability to transform
to an alkali, both qualities beneficial to help
regulate your blood pressure it helps more
of the active ingedients be where they can
help reduce blood pressure.
