A member asked:
Can you improve your digestive process by taking the quantum supplements hcl and digestive enzymes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If deficient: If by hcl you mean hydrochloric acid, do not take it. As for other enzyme supplements, these are helpful in patients with deficiency, e.g., cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis. In an otherwise normal person more enzymes would not be useful.
