    Low Stomach Acid: A Vicious Cycle

    Training wise; There are two main consequences of low stomach acid:
    You become protein malnourished. When your stomach acid is low, you are not able to digest protein.

    You become mineral deficient


    So basically, if you have low stomach acid- you're not going nowhere as you'll be malnourished, feeling weak, and have different muscle issues (cramps etc...) to begin with and viscious circle gets worse...
    You could eat plenty of protein and still be protein malnourished. This raises cortisol levels (stress or death hormone), thereby raising your blood glucose (blood sugar levels). Elevated cortisol adversely affects your behavior and temperment.
    Eventually, your adrenals become depleted (adrenal fatigue)


    Stomach acid or hydrochloric acid (HCl) important functions include:

    Breaking down proteins into the essential amino acids and nutrients your body needs in order to stay healthy.
    Stimulating your pancreas and small intestines to produce the digestive enzymes and bile necessary to further breakdown the carbohydrates, proteins and fats you eat.
    Preventing disease by killing pathogenic bacteria and yeast normally present in food.

    Nice text with symptoms and some solution for low stomach acid

    5) Vertical ridging on the nails because of inability to absorb nutrients from food, Weak, peeling, and cracked fingernails.
    6) Leg and foot cramps from mineral deficiencies because you are not absorbing minerals.
    7) Chronic injuries due poor amino acid status and inability to restore tissue, muscle atrophy and wasting.
    8) Multiple Food allergies, which may be associate d with asthma.
    9) Gallstones. You may have already had a cholecystectomy.

    Betaine HCL + pepsin has been a godsend for me. Digestive enzymes helped too but betaine HCL got my digestion back on track after taking antibiotics for 4 months.

    Low stomach corrosive in the long run makes an endless loop: low stomach corrosive = low minerals = acidic blood. This cycle proceeds in light of the fact that acidic blood further makes .
