THE IMPORTANCE OF HCl FOR CLEAR SKIN...

ACNE TREATMENT PLAN CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) is found in our gastric juices, which is secreted in response to eating food. HCL does not breakdown protein itself, but it does convert the enzyme pepsinogen into pepsin. Pepsin is the dude that actually breaks down the protein. As the protein peptides unravel in the stomach, pepsin swoops in and cleaves the bonds that hold the individual amino acids together.

The complete breakdown of protein is important for proper digestion. Many people have weak stomach acid. As we get older, our bodies produce less and less stomach acid, which impairs overall digestion and the digestion of proteins. When that happens, we can experience bloating, gas, an increase in pathogenic microbes, toxicity, food sensitivities - the list is long, long, long.  Many of these factors can result in a number of dermatologic conditions including acne and rosacea.

Supplementing with HCl during meals can help improve digestion. It's important to know if you have weak stomach acid before you begin supplementation. Those with blood type "O" generally produce more HCl than other blood types. Check with your health care practitioner before you begin supplementing with HCl.
