What is the most important supplement?
Fish Oil, Multi Vitamin, Fibre supplements etc. but let’s think of it another way.
What are we most deficient in?
The latest research suggests that inside countries such as Australia, UK and America, up to 98% of people are deficient in HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) Let's use the shortened name of HCL in our explanation of what it is exactly and it's benefits.
Why is HCL important?
The very first test I conduct as a BioSignature practitioner is the HCL test. If your body is not breaking down healthy foods or supplements then simply put, you’re not getting the full benefit you desire and you’re wasting your money.
HCL plays a major role in the stomach as it contributes to:
1. Digestion of your proteins.
2. HCL sterilizes the stomachs contents.
3. HCL influences the amount of Digestive Juices secreted for your food to aid digestion.
HCL benefits are :
1. Mineral absorption - Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron.
2. Vitamin Absorption - B9, B12, Beta Carotene, C.
3. Improved Sleeping patterns.
Signs or Symptoms of Low HCL after eating:
1. Bloating
2. Belching
3. Wind
4. Partially digested food in Human waste
5. Skin Rashes
6. Gastric Upset
Conditions caused by Low HCL
1. Allergies
2. Asthma
3. Arthritis
4. Alzheimer's
5. Skin Disorders
6. Osteoarthritis
So your probably asking by now what causes Low HCL?
The simple answer is Stress. It has been calculated that our stress levels are 100 times greater than our grandfathers, technology being a contributing factor.
HCL status Test:
Step 1. A tester bottle is provided with 28 capsules inside.
Step 2. Over the period of 2 days the 28 tablets are taken in the middle of your protein based meal.
