Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is a clear, colourless, highly pungent solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water:
• a potent digestive aid;
• promotes optimal stomach acidity;
• supports better nutrient absorption.
The acidic environment in the stomach is vital to the proper dismantling of foods and the subsequent absorption of nutrients. Taking hydrochloric acid (HCL) supplements can promote optimal acidity. HCL converts pepsinogen to pepsin which breaks down proteins into peptides. HCL maintains a pH in the stomach of approximately 2.0. It also dissolves food and kills microorganisms.
Adult suggested use: To be cautious 5-10 drops depending upon the amount of food. Maximum of 45 drops per day always with food – on it or in water/juice sipped while eating. Never on an empty stomach or with stomach conditions which may require a doctors assistance.
Do not use if you have a history of stomach ulcers or gastritis unless recommended by a qualified healthcare professional.
