"The Silent Saboteur: How Low Stomach Acid Quietly Affects Your Health"

Do you feel overlooked, overworked and underpaid?

It could be your stomach!

You might have been popping antacid tablets without a second thought …

But did you know that these seemingly harmless pills might be doing you more harm than good?

While antacids provide you with temporary relief from pain, burning or acid reflux, they mask the underlying issues that caused the problem.

What most people don’t realise is that long term use of antacids leads to poor nutrient absorption.

The food that you eat can’t be used for cell renewal, because its not digested properly.

Compare a healthy stomach to a small campfire that keeps you warm.

Now, imagine your campfire isn’t going so well.

Perhaps there are just some smouldering embers left.

You wouldn’t dream of putting wet logs on those embers would you?

Instead, you would carefully add bits of dry kindling, and wait for a small flame to flicker before you add bigger logs.

Antacid tables kill your stomach fires.

Its’ like putting water on your campfire.

Without a healthy functioning stomach, your digestion is broken.

Stomach acid, primarily composed of hydrochloric acid (HCL) helps break down food, particularly proteins, into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.

You will also run low on other vital vitamins and minerals.

Without sufficient acid to regulate the lower oesophageal sphincter, stomach contents can flow back into the oesophagus, causing discomfort and a burning sensation.

This is a big mistake!

We believe that we have TOO much stomach acid, when in reality we have too little.

Stomach acid acts as a natural barrier against harmful bacteria and pathogens.

With reduced acid levels, the risk of bacterial overgrowth in the stomach and small intestine increases.

This can lead to conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), causing symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain.

Did you know that healthy stomach acid levels destroy ingested pathogens, parasites and bacteria?
