Good health depends on adequate digestion. From a nutritional point of view, the level or quality of health can be traced to the level of digestive functioning.

The stomach produces a variety of substances that promote digestion and assimilation; gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid and pepsinogens (precursors of the family of proteolytic enzymes called pepsins). Parietal cells produce both stomach acid and intrinsic factor, a protein required to bind vitamin B12 prior to its absorption in the small intestine.

Inadequate production of hydrochloric acid can result in impaired uptake or deficiency of all B-vitamins, especially B12, potentially leading to muscle weakness and neurological deficit.
