The potential of hydrogen (pH) is a
measure of the amount of hydrogen
ions (-) in a solution. The regulation of
the according to the necessities of
each organ or tissue is extremely
important for the organism since
enzymes act only under some pH
ranges and many are only
active under some pH ranges. Therefore
biochemical depend on correct
levels of pH to occur.

Neutral pH is one of the water
properties.
