Understanding Stomach Acid with Dr. Clark Digestive Power Hydrochloric Acid

  • A potent digestive aid*
  • Promotes optimal stomach acidity*
  • Support better nutrient absorption*

The acidic environment in the stomach is vital for digesting food. Hydrochloric acid (or HCL) maintains a pH in the stomach of approximately 2.0, which is optimal for digestion and also protects the stomach from potentially harmful microorganisms. Hydrochloric acid in gastric juice secretions activates the enzyme pepsin to initiate the breakdown of proteins.*

Deficiency of Gastric Acid
Stomach acid is a powerful digestive aid. After a high-protein meal, the pH in a healthy stomach may drop to as low as 1 or 2. However, buffers quickly raise the pH back to 3 or 4.

With age, stomach acid secretion tends to decrease, resulting in low stomach acid, poor digestion, and mineral deficiency. But HCL supplements help make minerals and nutrients more absorbable. Achieving the correct pH is a key to maintaining proper digestive function and overall health.*

Most people use Betaine HCL, but if you develop sensitivity to it, consider HCL 5% drops. In very rare cases people have too much acid; in that case you will feel a burning sensation or heartburn when taking HCL with your food.*


Ingredients
Water, hydrochloric acid

Suggested Use
Put up to 10 drops in food per use or up to 45 drops total per day in food.

Note: Hydrochloric Acid can be taken with any type of food. It can be taken with water or juice.

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes. Do not put drops directly in mouth, it can dissolve teeth. For heartburn take water and milk, do not take baking soda. If heartburn persists seek the care of a qualified professional.

Store at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children.


Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many drops are equivalent to one capsule of Betaine HCL?
A: While both 5% HCL drops and Betaine HCL capsules serve the same purpose (to raise the acid level in the stomach), they are chemically different products. Therefore, there is no true equivalency.

Q: Can I put the drops directly in my mouth?
A: Putting the drops directly into the mouth is not recommended. Even at 5% potency, HCL is still strong enough to ware away the teeth at full strength. Taking the drops mixed in food or a beverage is suggested.

Q: How many drops do I take with each meal?
A: The suggested use is up to 10 drops mixed in food at each meal, or up to 45 drops total per day. Alternatively, you can mix the drops in a beverage instead of mixing them with food.

Q: How many drops are in one bottle.
A: There are approximately 750 drops in each 1 fl oz bottle.

Hawaiian Tropics highly recommended for sensitive skin.
Scent: Island Coconut, Size: 0.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product. This is my first summer using it. I was not disappointed. I have super sensitive skin, and can’t use most products. One thing I did notice was a few times I would get a small pimple or blackhead along the lip line. The dermatologist said it was clogged pores, but no reason not to continue using it. I have tried a few other brands and had more breakouts/ blackheads. So I keep going back to Hawaiian Tropics.

Reliable protection that stays put during workouts!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many expensive name-brand sunscreens, but this Amazon Basics version performs just as well, if not better. It’s become my go-to for morning runs and trips to the beach because it actually stays on even when I’m sweating. Why I gave it 5 stars: Non-Greasy Formula: Unlike other sport sunscreens, this one absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that heavy, sticky film on my skin. Actually Water Resistant: I’ve used it for laps in the pool and long hikes; as long as I reapply as directed, I haven't had a single sunburn. No "Sting": One of the best things is that it doesn't run into my eyes and sting when I start to sweat—a huge plus for runners. Great Value: You get a generous 8-ounce bottle for a fraction of the price of "premium" brands. The fact that it’s formulated without Oxybenzone is an added bonus for peace of mind. If you’re looking for effective, no-frills sun protection for an active lifestyle, you can't beat this. It’s a staple in my gym bag now!

Great value and very practical
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
This sunscreen is a great value for the price. The SPF 50 protection works well and the lotion applies smoothly without feeling too greasy. It absorbs nicely and provides good coverage for outdoor activities. I especially like using these bottles to refill the sunscreen dispensers at my Airbnb for guests. It’s convenient, reliable, and affordable when you need multiple bottles available. Overall, it’s a solid everyday sunscreen and a very practical option if you need good protection at a reasonable price.

good price for good product. applies well, shake and store upright
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I believe it is equal to the name brands It is 50 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It is thick and goes on with a non shiny, non greasy, solid thick feeling which is what we need for it to stay on as long as possible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool water or swimming laps and after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.
