Magnesium and Stomach Acid

June 24, 2017 By Nemira 2 Comments

Magnesium and stomach acid have a strong correlation. Without the proper amount of stomach acid, magnesium does not absorb. There are plenty of individuals who have low acid levels, such as the elderly. People with conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, gallbladder, and gum diseases are deficient in hydrochloride acid.

People who use antacids can not absorb magnesium efficiently. Antacids neutralize natural stomach acids. Minerals can not be interested. Food can be digested properly.

Magnesium and Stomach Acid

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean’s book The Magnesium Miracle, people who use calcium carbonate antacids lose more magnesium. A significant amount of calcium requires magnesium. The more calcium we get, the more magnesium is used to keep calcium in control. The balance must be everywhere.

Why does the body not produce enough stomach acid?


There are reasons why the production of stomach acid slows down or is interrupted by outside sources.

  • Elderly
  • Osteoporosis
  • Arthritis
  • Gum disease
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Diabetes
  • Antacids

Severe stress can lead to low secretion of stomach acid too. I guess that we have plenty of pressure around, do we?

These reasons interfere with magnesium absorption. You see how everything in the body is connected. One deficiency or excessive amount leads to disruption of essential body functions.

 No Stomach Acid, No Magnesium  Around in the Body


People know magnesium which comes in a few different forms. There are organic salt chelates and inorganic salts.

  • Magnesium Oxide
  • Magnesium Taurate
  • Magnesium Glutamate
  • Magnesium Phosphate
  • Magnesium Sulfate
  • Magnesium Chloride
  • Magnesium Citrate

There are more forms of magnesium, but you see that magnesium is not alone—magnesium is connected with the ligand. For example, the traditional magnesium citrate consists of metal magnesium and ligand citric acid.

When magnesium supplement reaches the stomach, the hydrochloric acid helps separate mineral compounds, in this case, the magnesium citrate.  Magnesium can be absorbed just in the ionic form. Stomach acid helps break magnesium citrate and release magnesium ions.

You see that stomach acid is vital for magnesium absorption. Magnesium and stomach acid correlation is essential for everybody who wants a correctly functioning body.

  Calcium Comes to The Scene


Calcium and magnesium have high correlations too. When stomach acid is deficient, magnesium can not participate in calcium functions. Calcium goes to cells with the help of magnesium.

As you see, in the body, everything is connected. Magnesium deficiency leads to an overload of calcium.

The acidic environment in the stomach helps calcium dissolve; however, if there is not enough stomach acid, calcium goes to the small intestine, where the alkaline environment is. Without magnesium, calcium can not be dissolved. This mineral wanders around and deposits in soft tissues of the body. Not so much fun, yes?

 Magnesium and Stomach Acid Need Each Other


Magnesium and stomach acid are essential players in body metabolism. Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D.   Emphasizes the importance of low magnesium and stomach acid to calcium activity.

Magnesium and stomach acid must be in original amounts because the body can function well with the proper nutrients.

Stomach acid is not a nutrient. It is hydrochloric acid. However, it has a connection with mineral activity. Everything depends on each other.

You would ask what to do if stomach acid is deficient and does not perform its functions well?

We need magnesium which goes straight to the cell. Do I know it? Yes. ReMag is liquid, pico-ionic magnesium, absorbed at 100 percent. If you want to read more about ReMag, you can find information here.

    Thanks for your many resources. I have started on ReMag, and am now at the 3.25 tsp level, and my stools are loose. According to the paperwork that arrived with the ReMag, the therapeutic level increases fro. 1 tsp to 4 tsp, in 0.25 tsp steps. If I am having loosened and ” fluffy” light colored stools, do I now stop at 3 tsp.? Also, I have heartburn and indigestion now the past 4 days, and con earned I have low stomach acid. Should I consider Betaine, and taking the low acid test? I have Gurd- like symptoms.

    Thank you for your consideration.
    Regards,
    John

      Hi, John, sorry, I am not a doctor, and I cannot give you medical advice. I am a fan of magnesium, especially of ReMag, because it works for my family and me. The reason why I write these blogs is the lack of information about the importance of minerals and how they can change our lives for good.
      Dr.Carolyn Dean M.D., N.D., in her book The Magnesium Miracle, points out that people are different, reactions, and the ability to replenish and absorb lost magnesium change from one person to another. You need to listen to your body. Taking a break from magnesium and seeing how it feels for you may be the way to ease your condition. By all means, consult with a knowledgeable health practitioner. You can ask about dosages on the website http://www.rnareset.com
      Be healthy and wealthy, Nemira
