Chloride - Supports Normal Digestion

Chloride is an important mineral that performs various functions in the body. One of the most significant roles of chloride is supporting normal digestion by contributing to the production of stomach acid. Stomach acid is essential for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

It is important to note that the positive effect of chloride on digestion does not apply to chloride obtained from sodium chloride (table salt). A chloride source should provide at least 15% of the significant amount of 800 mg of chloride per day to deliver the mentioned health benefits.
