The HCl deficiency

How can you digest food better? The issue is, most of us don't have enough HCl. The issue is, if you don't have enough HCl (to convert pepsinogen to pepsin), then it doesn't matter if you eat 3 grams of protein, or 300 grams of protein, because most of it will remain undigested.

So, how can you digest food better? Take an HCl supplement, and you will digest food better.

The myth of too much HCl

How can you digest food better? Stop taking antacids. Why? Because it's a myth that heartburn is caused by too much HCl. In reality, heartburn is caused by a malfunctioning muscular valve that guards the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). If the LES is working, then no amount of stomach acid will cause any heartburn. But, if the LES is malfunctioning, then even a small amount of HCl will cause heartburn.

So, how can you digest food better? Stop taking antacids, and you will digest food better. Take an HCl supplement, and you will digest food better.

The need for HCl

How can you digest food better? Once the food passes through the esophagus, it goes into the stomach. When the stomach is stretched, it's a signal to your body to release gastrin and HCl. The gastrin is also important for the breakdown of protein, because the gastrin triggers the release of pepsinogen. However, the pepsinogen cannot convert to pepsin — the enzyme that breaks down protein into amino acids — if there is insufficient HCl.
