let’s talk about the number one most common sign  of low stomach acid indigestion indigestion what  

is that indigestion is a sensation where the  food is kind of stuck in your stomach it’s not  

moving properly you feel full bloated you’ve got  an upset stomach some heartburn you feel nauseous  

might be belching so that’s what indigestion  is and of course there are other symptoms of  

low stomach acid too especially getting gas and  just general bloating now if you look this up  

medically it’ll say that 70 percent of the time there’s  no cause okay there’s no cause you just have it  

it could be coming from stress anxiety or gerd  which doesn’t make sense to me because gerd is  

a symptom and that’s where you have acid splashing  up so what they’re saying is acid that splashes up  

will cause indigestion so one symptom causes  something else i guess it could be related but  

as far as a root cause i don’t buy that but i can  see stress being one big cause for sure and there  

are many other causes as well i’ve done videos on  them i’ll put a link down below the medical term  

for low stomach acid is called hypochlorhydria and  there’s another condition where you don’t have any  

acid in your stomach that’s called a chlorhydria  and you can check out more information on that but  

this topic is very important simply because as you  age you lose your stomach acid and so many people  

just don’t have enough acid in the stomach anymore  and they’re getting these symptoms and i don’t  

even know what’s behind it and so they start  taking antacids they take medication for this  

and now they go from bad to worse because now it’s  going to take out that last drop that they needed  

and now they don’t have very much acid at all  so they start developing hay fever allergies and  

sinus issues and all sorts of problems normally  the ph of hydrochloric acid should be between  

0.8 to 1.5 and it can even go up to 3. so it’s  between 0.8 0.823 which is extremely acid and it’s  

a combination of this acid and this enzyme pepsin  which by the way is activated by this acid to help  

you digest things so pepsin is a very strong  enzyme to help you digest protein what prevents  

the acid and this powerful protein enzyme from  digesting the inside of your stomach is a very  

thick mucous layer and so when this layer becomes  destroyed that can come from a lack of zinc it  

could come from several things then you start  developing ulcers gastritis and issues like that  

so we need this layer of protection your body  actually makes two liters of hydrochloric acid  

every single day and guess what you need to to  make it you need chlorides from salt you also need  

potassium you need vitamin c and several other  things like zinc now the purpose of hydrochloric  

acid is to take the protein that you just ate  let’s say you ate some meat which has protein  

and collagen and all sorts of things and turn that  into amino acids to break it down into the small  

particles so if you don’t have enough acid you’ll  get incomplete protein digestion also number two  

it helps you kill microbes bacteria fungus yeast  and viruses without that acid these microbes can  

invade the body and go down there and create all  sorts of damage and something called sibo and they  

can invade your gut and create problems so it’s a  defense mechanism viruses and bacteria do not like  

acid number three they help you absorb minerals  a lot of times the minerals are locked up with  

proteins for example if you ask someone what what  food is high in iron you would say red meat right  

or when you talk about calcium dairy that comes  with a protein right cobalt is part of vitamin  

b12 which is actually in red meat and organ meats  zinc is in shellfish seafood and red meat as well  

and also magnesium is in meat as well and  vegetables however if you don’t have enough  

acid you can’t separate out the mineral from  this protein structure not to mention you’re  

going to have a difficult time absorbing and  assimilating these minerals right here and  

so there’s a very simple simple solution if you  don’t have an ulcer or if you don’t have gastritis  

it’s simply to take some betaine hydrochloride you  can get this as a supplement i’ll put a link down  

below for more information on this but betaine  hydrochloride is a very simple safe solution  

you would want to take something like three  or four or even five with right before you eat  

and you’ll start feeling a lot less indigestion  pretty quick but it might take some time you  

might have to do that for several weeks but  you’ll find though you’ll have less gas less  

bloating less fullness and you’ll get more  complete digestion with this and you’re going  

to start to feel better because you’ll start to  assimilate these minerals right here now if you  

have gastritis or an ulcer or you feel worse when  you take this then you need to watch my video on  

what to do with an ulcer or gastritis before  you go if you have a question about a product or  

you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
