About AlkaGuide

Most wellness apps count calories or track steps. AlkaGuide does something fundamentally different — it calculates how many mineral atoms your body is being asked to mobilize each day, based on what you actually eat, take, drink, and experience.

Using a patent-pending algorithm built on Avogadro's number, molar mass data, and published biochemical research, AlkaGuide converts your daily inputs into atomic-level mineral depletion estimates — then shows you which foods and supplements are best positioned to restore balance, ranked by your specific deficit.

This is not guesswork. It is applied physical chemistry — made accessible.

Every stressor your body encounters — food acidity, alcohol metabolism, medication interactions, physical exertion, poor sleep, emotional stress — has a measurable biochemical cost. AlkaGuide quantifies that cost in mineral atoms using the same formula chemists have used for over a century:

The result is a precise, personalized picture of your mineral status — updated every time you log a new entry. AlkaGuide then calculates your food's buffering capacity using the same approach, expressing alkaline potential in BCU (Buffering Capacity Units) so recommendations are ranked by what will actually move your balance, not by what is generically "healthy."

All mineral values, coefficients, and bioavailability data are sourced from USDA FoodData Central and peer-reviewed biochemistry literature. Nothing is estimated without a published basis.

Every tracker feeds the same calculation engine. The more consistently you log, the more accurate your mineral education profile becomes.

🍽️

Food Log

Log meals and see which minerals your food provides — and which acids it generates. AlkaGuide ranks 496 foods by net buffering capacity so recommendations match your actual deficit.

🧪

pH Log

Track your urine or saliva pH readings to monitor your acid-alkaline balance over time. The target is 7.0 — AlkaGuide shows your trend toward or away from that goal.

💊

Medications

Log your medications daily. AlkaGuide applies published depletion coefficients to calculate how each drug affects your mineral demand at the molecular level.

🌿

Supplements

Track supplements alongside medications. AlkaGuide subtracts bioavailable mineral atoms from your deficit — so your recommendations reflect what you're already restoring.

🍺

Alcohol Intake

Ethanol metabolism depletes specific minerals. AlkaGuide converts your drinks to ethanol moles and applies depletion coefficients from peer-reviewed research.

😴

Sleep

Sleep deficit affects mineral demand. Log quality and hours and AlkaGuide factors that into your daily totals.

🏃

Exercise

Physical exertion drives sweat-loss depletion of sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Log type, duration, and intensity and AlkaGuide quantifies the cost.

😰

Stress

Emotional stress triggers mineral expenditure. Log level and duration — AlkaGuide applies published stress-response coefficients to your daily mineral picture.

Most health software assumes everyone learns the same way. Decades of educational psychology research says otherwise. AlkaGuide is built around this: the science never changes between users, but the way it is communicated does.

During onboarding you choose how you learn best. AlkaGuide then adapts every explanation, recommendation, and insight to that preference — across 12 distinct communication profiles built from your learning style and your wellness goal.

Most wellness platforms create shame. "You exceeded your target." "Poor food choice." "You failed your goal." These messages trigger defensive behaviour — which reduces engagement and makes change harder.

AlkaGuide uses curiosity framing instead. You are a participant in discovery, not a subject of correction.

"Here's what today's pattern may be showing you."
"An interesting relationship is emerging."
"This trend may help explain what you're experiencing."

Lasting change happens when people feel empowered to learn rather than pressured to comply. That is the design principle behind every screen in AlkaGuide.

AlkaGuide is an educational wellness platform. All mineral calculations, buffering estimates, food recommendations, and supplement suggestions are educational estimates only — based on published research coefficients and your self-reported data.

AlkaGuide does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or mitigate any disease or health condition. It is not a substitute for medical care. Always consult a qualified physician, dietitian, or other licensed healthcare professional before making changes to your diet, supplement regimen, or medication schedule.

Individual results vary. Calculations are estimates, not guarantees.
