As digestion improves, energy returns!

Did you know that too little gastric acid in the stomach can cause bacterial overgrowth, common digestive problems, heartburn, and bloating? GastricAid, designed by a medical doctor, is a safe, non-drug formula that helps restore the optimal balance of digestive acids.

Healthy digestion and absorption of nutrients is dependent upon the secretion of gastric acid. When gastric secretions are reduced, the result can lead to nutritional deficiencies and a variety of chronic disorders. Low secretion of gastric acid can also allow orally ingested pathogens to prevail and contribute to their overgrowth in the stomach and small intestine. Hydrochloric acid supplementation is a safe and effective means of restoring normal gastric levels, particularly in cases where age or chronic conditions indicate that nutrients, particularly B vitamins and minerals, are not being properly utilized.

Hydrochloric acid is an important secretion in the stomach that enables the body to break down proteins and protect against E. coli infections in the gut. In addition, numerous studies have shown that hydrochloric acid secretion declines with advancing age. This decline in stomach acid allows organisms like H. pylori — the bacterium widely thought to be responsible for ulcers — to thrive.

A number of nutritionally oriented physicians have had success in treating heartburn patients with hydrochloric acid, pepsin and Gentian root. Betaine hydrochloride is a form of hydrochloric acid that has been used for over 100 years to safely restore normal stomach acidity. Pepsin has a long history of medicinal use and is administered to assist digestion. Gentian acts on taste buds to stimulate the saliva secretion in the mouth and hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Doctors have worked with thousands of patients who have found that low stomach acid is the cause of their heartburn and indigestion and that their symptoms have been relieved when they've taken supplemental hydrochloric acid, pepsin and Gentian.
