The stomach naturally produces hydrochloric acid to keep its content acidic. This is important for effective digestion by enzymes and for killing pathogenic bacteria present in the food. However, as we age we tend to produce less acid, and so a supplement may be helpful.
This product also supplies Pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins in food.
