How common is hypochlorhydria?
More common than you might think. It’s estimated that 10 to 15% of the population have hypochlohydria. Stomach acid production naturally declines with age beginning in the mid thirties. By the time people reach their fifties, some doctors who treat this condition say that the percentage of people with this condition is closer to 50%. While it’s undisputed that production of stomach acid slows with age, most conventional doctors don’t test for or know how to treat this condition. What are the signs and symptoms of hypochlorhydria?
