Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I am experimenting on which form of supplement (Liquigel, meltable, and hard shell) is the most efficient in delivering medication. What is a substance that I may use that is NOT unsafe to the human body and can be used in a non-laboratory environment that can mimic the stomach acid in the human body?

Thanks,

Omar T.

You might find these two projects helpful. They don't match the experiment you are doing, but both involve the way medicines move through the stomach and may help you think through the model you need:
