The average blood pepsin level is plotted against the highest concentration of gastric pepsin "washed out" (but, of course, not stimulated) by histamine.

It should be noted that, because pepsin is determined after complete activation of pepsinogen and at a buffered pH of 4.9, the values obtained are independent of gastric acidity.

According to Dr. Koufman, however, alkaline water can benefit people who suffer from acid reflux because, as her published research has found, the stomach enzyme pepsin dies at pH 8.

San Francisco-based food technology company Clara Foods launches the first ever animal-free, animal pepsin for commercial use.

The pH of the human body lies in a tight range between 7.35-7.45, and any minor alterations from this range can have severe implications.

A new study shows that changing what you eat to a Mediterranean diet is as effective as medication in relieving acid reflux symptoms.

Despite the health claims surrounding alkaline water, scientific evidence suggests its purported benefits may be overhyped.
