SODIUM HYDROGEN CARBONATE properties
A so-called latent acidosis often contributes to a regulatory blockade, i.e. a metabolic imbalance that is still being compensated for, but is already present and effective. Due to the high regulatory, pain-therapeutic and anti-inflammatory potency, base infusion therapy can be used for a large number of clinical pictures.
