Garden of Life founder Jordan Rubin is committed to creating products that allow the human body to maintain healthy balance. Maintaining a balanced pH is one of the most important metabolic functions your body performs, aside from breathing and maintaining a heartbeat. Production of highly acidic gastric juice is a normal function of the stomach. Occasional heartburn represents an imbalance in the distribution of digestive system content. According to the American Gastrointestinal Association, about 40 million people experience heartburn at least once per week and roughly 40% of people have heartburn at least once a month. Acid Defense provides alkalizing minerals from goat’s milk whey, along with organically grown vegetable juice concentrates.
