If so, then what is the name of the cation, and more importantly, the name of the anion?

MSM powder dissolves readily in water. I am concerned about it reacting with various other ingredients found in other nutritional supplements, which could possibly be taken concommitantly. I am also cautious to add it to various cosmetics and toiletries.

1) add OH-containing molecules to the body that will break up in the body releasing OH. 2) Eat something that separates the OH from OH-contianing biochemicals that are already in the body. I can easily make my saliva pH go up twith mineral supplements like zinc picolinate and magnesium orotate and especially coral calcium as verified with my expensive digital pH meter. I know how to push my pH down if I want to also. I want to know what these minerals do that increase and decrease body pH. (( I am tired of people at Yahoo teeling me that a) I don’t need to know b) they don’t know the answer c) telling me they don’t understand my question . )) The minerals potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and zinc are alkaline-forming minerals. If you take any of these minerals in supplemental form, in general your body pH pH WILL increase (Your blood pH will increase to 7.4 and CAN go higher causing alkalosis.). How do these minerals make either of the two above occur. Thanks
