Ignition🔥Aid – L-Glutamic Acid + HCL + Pepsin + Gentian Bitters

Don’t take if you have active ulcers, gastritis, or are taking prescription steroid medications.

Benefits of L-Glutamic Acid + HCL + Pepsin + Gentian Bitters:

1. Enhanced Protein Absorption: Adequate stomach acid is critical for breaking down protein into its building blocks, amino acids, which are crucial for muscle building and repair. This ensures that the body has the necessary components for maintaining and repairing muscle tissue, especially beneficial after workouts.

2. Improved Wound Healing: The amino acids obtained from protein digestion are essential for the repair and regeneration of tissues, including skin. This speeds up the recovery process for wounds and contributes to overall tissue health.

3. Healthier Skin, Hair, and Nails: Proper stomach acid levels help in the absorption of protein and other nutrients like zinc and vitamin C, which are vital for the health and integrity of skin, hair, and nails. This results in healthier, stronger, and more resilient skin, hair, and nails.

4. Boosted Immune Function: Amino acids from protein are building blocks for many immune system components. Adequate stomach acid ensures the body can efficiently use these amino acids to bolster immune defenses, helping to fight off illnesses and infections.

5. Optimized Hormone Production: Proteins are not only structural elements of the body but also precursors to hormones. Efficient protein digestion aids in maintaining balanced hormone levels, which is crucial for metabolic health, mood regulation, and overall physiological functions.

The Problem of Low Stomach Acid (Hypochlorhydria)

Symptoms like bloating, heartburn, and indigestion are often due to low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), but these symptoms can be mistaken for too much acid. This misunderstanding leads many to use antacids, which may offer temporary relief but can worsen the root problem by further reducing stomach acid​​.

The "Antacid Trap"

Antacids and PPIs mask symptoms by lowering stomach acid but disrupt normal digestion, which can lead to issues like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and GERD. With low stomach acid, food lingers longer in the stomach, causing pressure that pushes acid into the esophagus, leading to heartburn. More antacids are then used, creating a cycle that hides symptoms without addressing the root cause.

Solution: Start with Stomach Acid Support

Ignition🔥Aid includes Betaine HCl, Glutamic Acid, and Digestive Bitters to support natural stomach acid production, ensuring that food is broken down properly from the start, which promotes smoother digestion and better nutrient absorption​​.Step-by-Step Dosage Guide:

Finding your ideal dose of Ignition🔥Aid depends on the protein content in your meals. Since higher amounts of protein require more stomach acid, follow these steps to personalize your dose based on your body’s needs:

Optimal Dosage Instructions for Ignition🔥Aid Based on Protein Content

Finding your ideal dose of Ignition🔥Aid depends on the protein content in your meals. Since higher amounts of protein require more stomach acid, follow these steps to find your optimal ratio of Ignition🔥Aid to grams of protein.

1. Start Low (1 Capsule per 30g+ of Protein):

   • Begin with 1 capsule per 30 grams of protein. For example, if your meal contains 40 grams of protein, start with 1 capsule.

2. Observe Your Body's Response:

   • Notice any changes in your digestion, such as a slight warmth or mild fullness in your stomach. These sensations suggest you have adequate HCl for that meal. If you feel these signs, proceed to Step 4.

   • If you feel a hotness or burning sensation: This may indicate excess HCl. Take Glow🔥Soothe or Glow🔥Nourish to ease this discomfort. Alternatively (though less beneficial), dissolve ½ teaspoon of baking soda in 2-4 oz of water to neutralize the acid.

   • If you notice loose stools: About 30% of people experience looser stools with higher HCl doses. If this happens, decrease your ratio of Ignition🔥Aid to grams of protein. If loose stools or heartburn occur after only one capsule, consider trying a gentler approach, such as 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 4 oz of water.

   • If you don’t feel any response: You likely need a higher dose for that protein amount.

3. Gradually Increase the Ratio:

   • If you don’t feel a noticeable response, increase your dose to 1 capsule per 25 grams of protein and adjust as needed. Continue to increase the dose slowly (up to as much as 1 capsule per 5 grams of protein if necessary) and repeat Step 2 each time to monitor your response.

4. Find Your Optimal Dose:

   • Continue adjusting until you find the dose that gives a gentle warmth or fullness after your meal. This dose—or the dose just before you experienced warmth—is likely your ideal HCl level for the amount of protein in your meal. For example, some people find that 1 capsule per 10 grams of protein works best.

Tips to Find Protein Content of Your Food

• Use Nutrition Apps: Use AI tools or apps to estimate the protein content of your meal.

• Adjust Gradually: Finding the ideal dose takes time; start low and increase slowly.

• Listen to Your Body: A warming or fullness sensation indicates an adequate dose. Discontinue if you feel burning or discomfort with only one capsule.

• Take Ignition🔥Aid at the Start of Your Meal: This ensures that HCl is present for the beginning of digestion. You can also take it during your meal are directly after.

This personalized approach helps you determine the right dosing ratio for your unique protein intake, providing optimal digestive support for nutrient absorption and digestive health.
