Ragnar Berg (September 1, 1873 – March 31, 1956)[1] was a Swedish-born biochemist and nutritionist who worked most of his adult life in Germany. He is best known for his theories on the importance of acid-base balance and inorganic minerals like calcium in the diet; later in life he endorsed vegetarianism and ways to prolong the human life span. He promoted an alkaline rich diet[2] and also invented the alkaline dietary supplement Basica,[3] which Volkmar Klopfer manufactured and marketed from 1925.
