Hydrochloric acid has a number of important functions in the stomach including:
- Supporting digestion of food.
- Creating an acidic environment for pepsin protein digesting enzyme to function.
- Assisting absorption of dietary minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium.
- Killing pathogenic bacteria from food preventing entry into the digestive tract.
- As we age, as well as at times of stress or illness, hydrochloric acid production in the stomach may decline impacting digestive function and nutrient absorption.
