Provides hydrochloric acid to help maintain gastric pH.
Contains factors that promote healthy digestion, particularly of protein-rich foods.
Promotes the absorption of certain macro- and micronutrients.
Helps maintain normal gastric flora.
GastrAid is designed to directly support the gastric phase of digestion and stimulate the excretion of pancreatic digestive juices into the small intestine.
An adequate amount of hydrochloric acid is essential for healthy protein digestion, nutrient availability, and the maintenance of normal gastric flora. The ability to produce hydrochloric acid naturally declines, especially after the age of 60. Pepsin production appears to decline even further with age.
Supporting natural gastric secretions and acidity contributes to normal digestion, absorption, and immune health. Maintaining an acidic pH in the stomach also helps maintain normal gastric and intestinal flora.
