Low stomach acid is an epidemic. Its not only frustrating and painful, it literally can increase your risk of cancer, osteoporosis, and other chronic diseases. If you are looking for the details on which supplements are useful for optimizing stomach function, then you are in the right place.  Below you will find my advice, including what supplements to take to improve the digestion of food in the stomach.  Instructions are included below on how to order these powerful nutrients from our online nutritional pharmacy.

The best way to support proper stomach function is to make sure there is enough acid in the stomach.  Since everyone is different, there is no single dose that is best for all patients.  In order to figure out how much betaine hydrochloride is required for an individual, a dosing experiment called the Nutri-HCl Support Challenge is used.

For those individuals with an inflamed stomach lining who cannot tolerate stomach acid supplements, I have shared a gastritis repair protocol that can greatly reduce the pain and burning in the stomach and esophagus.

ACID REFLUX SUPPORT PROTOCOL:

HCl Support – HCl stomach acid that will support the digestion and break down of your food.  Take this product right at the end of the meal. To find out what dose is best for you, please see the HCl stomach acid instructions page.†

Pan 5X – pancreatic enzymes that will help you break down your food.  Take 1 or 2 tablets five minutes before meals/shakes/snacks.  Will improve digestion and absorption of nutrients.†

UltraBiotic Daily – 1 am, 1 pm away from food – A well-rounded, dairy-free probiotic capsule to help your gut flora get rid of yeast and pathogens while supporting digestion.†

NOTE: If pain or discomfort occurs when taking HCl Support, it indicates inflammation of the lining of the stomach and esophagus.  To heal the stomach and esophagus, use the Gastritis Repair Protocol below for at least 4 weeks before trying to reintroduce the HCl Support.

GASTRITIS AND ULCER REPAIR PROTOCOL:

This protocol is for those individuals who have active gastritis, who cannot tolerate stomach acid supplements, or who are healing from an H.Pylori infection.  The below protocol should be taken for at least 4 weeks.  After one month the dosages may be reduced and the supplements can be taken long term for ongoing support.

Dynamic GI Integrity –  mix 1 serving into water every 2 hours or after each meal, which ever comes first.  Powerful support that will help reduce inflammation of the upper GI tract.  Acts as a calming salve to relieve burning pain associated with gastritis and inflammation of the mucosa. Provides key nutrients to support the health of the esophageal and stomach lining.†

Zinc Carnosine – 2 tablets 2x per day away from food.  Zinc-carnosine will enhance the repair of the stomach lining; used in Japan for decades to repair gastric mucosa after antibiotic therapy.†

ADDITIONAL NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH:

D3 5000 w/K2 – 1 capsule per day w/ food.†

Essential Multi – 1 tablet 2x day w/ meals.  Excellent multi-vitamin source, w/ high antioxidants and moderate methylation support.†

OmegaPure EPA:DHA 720 3 capsules 2x day w/ meals.  Potent anti-inflammatory essential fatty acids that help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and stroke.  Effectively replenishes the body’s needs for omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.†

Nutri-Dyn batch tests every single raw ingredient.  Meaning, they test every batch, every time before it is processed into a supplement.  I’m not aware of any other company that puts that kind of expense and effort into product quality.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Rostenberg
