When we eat food, it goes to the Stomach. The HCL helps to break down the protein. It helps in the absorption of nutrients like Calcium and Iron. It helps to produce the digestive enzymes by stimulating the Pancreas and the Small Intestines. It also fights Bacteria and prevents their growth in the Stomach. The normal level of HCL is required to maintain a good health. But if the level of HCL increases in the Stomach, it causes problems. The level depends upon the type of food you eat. The HCL prevents the over growth of bacteria and pathogens. But if the HCL is present in low amount or totally absent then it may cause parasitic infections in the Gastrointestinal Tract.
