Digestive Disorders Linked To Low Healthy Stomach Acid

Acid-related problems such as heartburn, acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers and esophageal cancer all stem from imbalances in the lining of the esophagus, stomach and intestinal tract. 

These conditions vary but do have some things in common somewhere the normal digestive functions went awry. Emotional stress too much of the fat-laden, high-calorie American diet  genetic predisposition and other unhealthy lifestyles are much to blame for these esophageal and stomach illnesses. 

Another reason may be hypochlorhydria and achlorhydria, which are two digestive conditions that result in low concentrations of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. Without ample amounts of HCl, the breakdown of proteins is interrupted and they cannot be absorbed properly. This can lead to a vitamin and/or mineral deficiency since nutrients such as iron, zinc and B-complex vitamins including folic acid require healthy levels of HCl.

To help relieve the pains associated with low stomach acid, you should add key digestive nutrients found in supplement form. These include betaine hydrochloride, L-glutamic acid, amylase, protease, lipase and gentian root. By aiding in the production of healthy stomach acid youll say goodbye to your frequent heartburn, acid indigestion, bloating, upset stomach, diarrhea and constipation.
