"Macro minerals, sodium, calcium potassium magnesium can not fix your metabolism. They are macro. the body will always get them in if needed by increasing absorption."
You need good stomach acid to absorb calcium right? So with low stomach acid = you are basically calcium deficient.. + 90% of people are eating calcium supplement in form of calcium carbonate. Which is crazy alkaline antacid basically.. So this calcium carbonate will just neutralize stomach acid and block calcium absorption even more.. I think zsoka is right in this calcium thing, but also people are deficient in micro minerals, vit D and all cofactors for calcium metabolism.
You should understand then when the body does not have a stomach acid, it is in alkalosis. In alkalosis body does not need calcium , zinc, iron , etc. low stomach acid is not a mistake, it is the outcome of using extra hydrogen for the detox procedures. If the body is using extra hydrogen for hte detox, IT DOES not need any calcium iron or zinc or vitamin B12 at that moment. This is why people have low stomach acid. this is why you give HCL, to provide hydrogen. And then body will want calcium.
this is why when people go vegan , they dont really need b12 or vitamin D. Why? because they will be in alkalosis and in in alkalosis you need less calcium and less methylation.
Low stomach acid is not a mistake. It is how it is supposed to be in that body chemistry. and the reason for low stomach acid is low hydrogen. And you wont be able to force calcium inside of your body , not matter what you do in alkalosis. This is why you will always feed calcium with some kind of acid, which will provide hydrogen , so the body will ask for calcium and zinc and b12 for which it will increase the stomach acid.
