Having consistently poor digestion can produce numeroushealth problems, including nutrient malabsorption, digestive problems such asgas, bloating, and diarrhea, and vitamin deficiencies. One common reason forhaving long-term poor digestion can be insufficient secretion of hydrochloricacid and pancreatic enzymes due to factors such as aging, illness, and theoveruse of antacids. Individuals who are likely to be low in hydrochloric acidand pancreatic enzyme secretion, and have malabsorption of protein,carbohydrates, and fats, should consider B.P.P. Unlike many competitivedigestive-support products, Thorne's B.P.P. offers pepsin that is undiluted andlactose-free. B.P.P. also provides undiluted pancreatin, which is essential tooptimal digestion and the absorption of numerous nutrients, especially fats.Thorne's lactose-free pancreatin has the highest potency and purity possible.

Hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach does severalpositive things. It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen topepsin, it renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibitsundesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and it encourages the flow ofbile and pancreatic enzymes. Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorptionof a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid,beta-carotene, iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Numerousstudies show hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach declines with advancingage. The overuse of antacid products can also lead to low levels ofhydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can further inhibit digestion.
