pH
- The more acidic your stomach is at the time of surgery, the more potential there is for harm. The old way of fasting (starving) caused a build up of gastric (stomach) acids with an average pH approximately 2.0.
- The pH of ClearFast is 4.2. Taking ClearFast as directed raises the pH in the stomach (less acidic) making you safer at the time of surgery!
Osmolarity
- The normal osmolarity of the tissue, cells, and fluids of the human body is 280-300 mOsm. The osmolarity of ClearFast is 270 allowing for timely gastric emptying.
- ClearFast clears from the stomach in 90 minutes – we recommend finishing your last bottle of ClearFast 120 minutes before anesthesia to be on the safe side!
Clear & Colorless
- ClearFast is truly clear and colorless unlike sports drinks and low quality preop alternatives.
- Colored dyes can mimic the appearance of internal bleeding and cause confusion for your surgeon and potential problems with your procedure.
