When it comes to gut health, we cannot overlook the importance of stomach acid and enzymes in the digestive process. Stomach acid, also known as gastric acid, is produced by the stomach lining and serves multiple functions. It aids in the breakdown of food, particularly proteins, and helps activate enzymes that further break down nutrients for absorption.

Beyond its role in digestion, stomach acid also plays a significant role in modulating the immune system. Studies have suggested a link between low stomach acid production and the development of autoimmune diseases. Stomach acid acts as a crucial line of defense against ingested pathogens, preventing their entry into the intestines.

Some natural ways to help support the body's production of stomach acid and promote the absorption of nutrients may include:

Address underlying causes such as chronic stress, medication use, dietary triggers, and nutritional deficiencies for B Vitamins, Iron, or Zinc. Believe it or not, these specific nutrients are needed to help support healthy stomach acid production! If you are suspicious of nutritional deficiencies, you may consider exploring a full Micronutrient panel with us.
