Hi Jaydee,
The body regulates its own pH level within very close parameters (7.35 to 7.45). Mostly by the lungs and kidneys.
In fact, nothing you take can affect your blood's pH. You can change the pH of your urine, not your blood, and therefore the body's tissues.
It's interesting that when you hear of something that is supposed to make you more or less "acidic," it means someone is trying to sell something!
The bicarbonate (which is strongly antacid) will be responsible for the removal of your heartburn.
Sorry to "rain on your parade," Jaydee, but the body's self regulation of its pH is solid scientific fact.
Cheers.
Rosebud
