When it comes to stomach acid, most people think they have too much. Problems such as heartburn, acid reflux or indigestion are often attributed to excess stomach acid. But in many cases, it’s not the case at all. In fact, these problems may be due to LOW stomach acid. This can lead to further problems with your overall health.
Your stomach acid is a vital part of your digestion. Your body produces one to two liters of gastric juice a day. This sounds like a lot, but you need all of it. This gastric juice is called hydrochloric acid (HCL) because it’s a powerful mixture of hydrogen and chlorine.
