Acidifiers are inorganic chemicals that either produce or become acid.
These chemicals increase the level of gastric acid in the stomach when ingested, thus decreasing the stomach pH.
These are many types of acidifiers but the main four types are:
- Gastric acidifiers, used in controlling pH in stomach.
- Urinary acidifiers, used in controlling pH in urine.
- Systemic acidifiers, used in controlling pH in all the parts of body.
- Acid, mostly used in laboratory experiments.
