Low stomach acid has been associated with a long list of diseases, including anemia; asthma; autoimmune diseases like vitiligo; spider veins on the face; vitamin B12 deficiency; iron, copper, zinc, manganese and calcium deficiencies; food allergies; Candida syndrome; parasites and other gastrointestinal conditions, the list goes on.

This is an excellent source of digestive aids for general yeast treatment.
