In this video, we’re going to talk about the number one cause of chronic fatigue in people over 50.

The most common cause of fatigue for people over 50 years of age is low stomach acidity.

The purpose of stomach acid is to break down proteins, absorb minerals, break down vitamins, and kill microbes.

Both types of anemia are related to low stomach acid.

Low levels of iron and B12—even subclinical—can cause low energy and fatigue. If you consume protein and cannot digest it, you are also going to get tired. This is why low stomach acidity is closely related to fatigue.

Signs of low stomach acid may include:
• Anemia
• Gerd
• Indigestion
• Bloating
• allergies
• SIBO
• Gallstones

As you get older, your stomach acidity—particularly hydrochloric acid (HCL)—goes down. Up to 40% of postmenopausal women have low stomach acidity.

There’s another condition called atrophic gastritis that is characterized by atrophy in certain parts of the stomach caused by low stomach acidity. This typically occurs if you’re over 60.

A large percentage of those with idiopathic anemia (unknown cause) also have significantly low stomach acidity.

Aside from age, causes of low stomach acid can include:
• Hypothyroidism
• Low sodium levels
• Low potassium levels
• Low iodine
• Low zinc
• Taking antacids

The best remedy for low stomach acidity is to take betaine hydrochloride.

Don’t use betaine hydrochloride if you have an ulcer—it can cause a burning sensation and other issues.
