HCl breaks down the food, especially the protein, in the stomach before it moves along to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption. HCl also triggers the secretion of pepsin, an important enzyme for digesting protein. Low stomach acid may lead to lower levels of pepsin and lower absorption of some vitamins and minerals. Stomach acid is also needed for protection against pathogenic microbes.
