For years, coffee was a double-edged sword—essential for energy and focus, but almost guaranteed to trigger reflux, stomach discomfort, or that familiar sour stomach. I tried low-acid beans, cold brew, even mushroom coffee... but nothing worked consistently.

Then I learned that the key isn’t just the type of coffee—it’s how your body buffers the acid load that comes with it.

Why Coffee Is Acidic

Coffee contains a mix of chlorogenic acids, quinic acid, and other organic compounds that lower the pH of the beverage and contribute to gastric irritation, especially in people dealing with:

• GERD / acid reflux

• Gastritis or LPR

• Dietary acidosis

• Kidney stress

The solution isn’t necessarily giving up coffee. It’s about buffering the acidity both in the cup and in your body.

What Alklyte Does Differently

Alklyte is a precise blend of specific molar ratios of bicarbonates (sodium/potassium) and citrates (potassium/sodium). The mix is precisely designed to support a healthy acid-base pH balance.*

These compounds are the exact same types of buffers your body naturally produces to stabilize pH and neutralize acids. When added to coffee (or taken with water before/after drinking), Alklyte:

• Neutralizes the free hydrogen ions (acid) in the coffee directly

• Provides systemic buffering support that reduces the total dietary acid load

• Helps protect the gut lining and kidneys from chronic acid stress

It’s not just about raising the pH of the coffee itself—it’s about improving the way your entire body handles acidity after consumption.

Real-World Impact

Since using Alklyte, I’ve gone back to enjoying coffee without fear of flare-ups. I don’t rely on PPIs or chalky antacids anymore. Just a scoop of Alklyte stirred into my morning coffee or taken in a glass of water beforehand has made all the difference.

And the science backs this up. Citrate and bicarbonate salts have been shown to:

• Reduce symptoms of GERD and reflux

• Improve acid-base balance possibly helping those with chronic kidney disease (ask your doctor first before using if you have CKD because it contains some potassium)

• Support gut barrier function and microbial balance

• Help reduce dietary acidosis linked to fatigue, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction (see recent posts in this group for peer-reviewed studies)

Takeaway

You don’t have to give up coffee to feel good—you just need a better buffering strategy. For me, that’s Alklyte.
