Benefits of Sodium Powder
In Treatment of Indigestion
Indigestion is a feeling of discomfort or a burning sensation in the upper part of your stomach. It also causes stomach pain and a feeling of fullness. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm treats indigestion and thus gives relief from its symptoms by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm also gives relief from excess gas by breaking trapped gas and allows its easy passage. Take Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm as prescribed by the doctor. Think about what foods trigger indigestion and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight, and try to find ways to relax. Avoid eating within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
In Treatment of Alkalinizing agent
Alkalinizing agents are medicines used to manage disorders associated with low pH. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm is used to treat metabolic acidosis (a condition where there is too much acid in the body) due to kidney failure. It helps restore the lost electrolyte balance and raises the pH of the urine and blood. This prevents complications that may arise due to metabolic acidosis such as osteoporosis, kidney damage, weakening of muscles, fatigue etc. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the most benefit.
In Treatment of Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body accumulates too much acid or loses too much base, leading to a disrupted pH level. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm acts as a buffer that helps neutralize excess acid and restore a healthier pH level. This prevents further complications related to the acidosis, such as organ dysfunction and electrolyte imbalances. This way it supports the proper functioning of various bodily systems and promotes overall health.

How Sodium Powder works
Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm works primarily by providing a source of bicarbonate ions to the body. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm neutralizes the acidity in stomach, providing relief from the discomfort of acid reflux or heartburn. It can help temporarily increase the pH of the blood, making it less acidic. This property can be useful in certain medical situations, such as metabolic acidosis, where the body becomes too acidic due to conditions like kidney dysfunction or severe dehydration. Sodium Bicarbonate 400gm may also help in cases where the urine needs to be less acidic, such as when trying to promote the excretion of certain drugs or when managing certain urinary tract conditions.
