Tkn 1/2 tsp. orally of baking soda mixed w 8 fl oz of water daily. i want to test ifit will help skin. will this harm me? only taking vit d3 2000 too.

Baking soda: As best as I can understand your question is if baking soda is ok? And if it helps ? Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and should be ok, benefits for your body and skin may be hard to prove. Harm is less likely. A good diet and general care of your skin is the best way. Sunscreen use is key.
