A member asked:
Does stomach acid play a role on your blood ph levels?can high ph mean low stomach acid or low ph level mean high stomach acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly. The stomach acid is produced independent of your bodies pH. Your stomach contents pH must be lowered to a specific level for your digestive enzymes to work. Outside the digestive tract your body has buffers that normalize your blood pH as much as possible.
