food digestion
The acid used in your stomach is Hydrochloric acid (HCl).
stomach
Technically, vinegar can be used as a stimulated stomach acid, but some may think different.
It is used to neutralize the stomach because alka seltzer is a acid and when a acid and base are used together they neutralize each other.
Lactic acid. Its used to chemically break down foods. --- Lactic acid is actually a by-product of anaerobic respiration, not used in the stomach. The acid used in the stomach to break down foods is called Gastric Acid, which consists mainly of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) as well as containing Potassium Chloride (KCl) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
An antacid solution used to neutralize excess stomach acid would have a higher pH than stomach acid, typically closer to 7 or slightly above to effectively neutralize the acid. This means that the antacid solution would be less acidic and more basic compared to stomach acid.

No, stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) is not the same as the acid used to etch concrete (usually muriatic acid, which is also known as hydrochloric acid). The concentrations and purposes of these acids are different, with stomach acid being naturally produced in the human body for digestion and muriatic acid being a strong chemical used for industrial purposes.
stomach acid is already in your stomach...
bicarbonate is used
Hydrochloric acid is found in the stomach, where it helps in the digestion of food by breaking down proteins and killing bacteria. It is produced by the parietal cells in the gastric glands of the stomach lining.
