Amino Acids And Indigestion

Amino acids — or the building blocks of life — make up 75% of the body and are needed for every body process. Ten of the twenty essential amino acids are derived from the food we eat, while the rest come naturally. Histidine is needed for tissue regrowth, Lysine aids calcium absorption, Phenylalanine aids memory and nerve functions, Methionine breaks down fats, Leucine regulates blood sugar and Tryptophan aids in sleep and serotonin production, to name a few.

When our digestion system is out of whack, we suffer in both big and small ways. Acid reflux, heartburn and indigestion can be a small - yet terribly uncomfortable - side effects of improper digestion. While it's widely believed that acid reflux comes from overproduction of HCL acid, recent research suggests that indigestion can be caused by the contrary - underproduction! In the case of underproduction of acid, also known as achlorhydria, undigested protein sits in our stomach, essentially rotting. Bloating, burping and discomfort ensues - sometimes forcing acid or food back up the esophagus. Disgusting, isn't it? If you have bad breath, burp excessively after eating, feel heavy after eating, experience nausea, diarrhea or constipation, then these may be telltale signs that food isn't being broken down properly into the amino acids you need to feel your best.

Also, without stomach acid as the essential trigger for other processes, the pancreas may not secrete fat and starch digesting enzymes, the gall bladder may not release bile and we won't absorb amino acids or minerals like B6, B12 and folic acid, as needed. Adequate levels of stomach acid also protect us from bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxins that may lurk deep inside our food. In the worst case scenario improper digestion and loss of amino acids can lead to poor nutrition, disorders and serious diseases — even Cancer. Over time, acid reflux can result in esophagus degradation (like in the case of people with bulimia).

Drug companies like Prilosec - the top selling prescription last year — appeal to us by promising to stop acid production, even though it's a much-needed natural process. While these drugs provide immediate, temporary relief, they still don't attack the underlying issue - that your body simply isn't digesting foods properly, and, as a result, can't derive the amino acids from the food that you've eaten.

A different kind of drug (such as Exstress or Genesis Today) can be taken as an HCL supplement, which aims to reduce the stress on the digestive system by stimulating natural gall bladder and pancreatic functions, adding additional protection from pathogens and supplementing a powerful combination of amino acids. Elderly people, body builders, stressed individuals, people with Bipolar Disorder and people looking to improve digestion have been known to take these natural supplements.
