Yes can someone please tell us if aspirin is just as good as cranberry to lower pH. I am trying to decide if I will use aspirin instead of cranberry?? Thanks

Yes, and some people have had BETTER results with the baby aspirin. If you are concerned, monitor pH to make sure.

It is just a lower dose of regular aspirin. One tablet is 75-81 milligrams depending on brand. It's orange and chewable and when I was a girl (10 million years ago) that's what my mom gave me when I had a fever rather than Tylenol. Don't give it to kids, though, because it can cause a very very rare syndrome in children.

I also think you can buy it from supermarkets and that signature range does a budget version which should be fine as long as it doesn't have anything else added to it?

Heartcare Aspirin 75mg
Cartia 100mg Aspirin

P.S I have found the Solgar calcium-magnesium pills. I am going to compare them to Calcifort (has vit D though which isn't the best for a girl sway??) and see what is better value. But as the Solgar pills are citrate based they may be better. Have you decided on what ca/mg pills you will take yet?

75 is plenty and you may not even want to take that much if you find it makes you prone to bleeding (cran can cause bleeding too, so don't decide to switch to cran if the aspirin makes you bruise/bleed - the cran will do the same thing.) If you do find yourself having heavy periods or bruising, start taking it every other day, even once or twice a week will help. That type of bleeding can actually KILL you by causing bleeding in your stomach and brain, so don't just keep taking it.

I would def. avoid Vit. D for a pink sway because it raises testosterne. However on other sites, they suggest taking the Vit. D. Use your best judgement.
