Hi !

Gastric juice is secreted by the stomach. It contains mucus , pepsin and HCl
Pepsin helps to break down proteins or helps in digestion of proteins.
HCl makes the medium acidic , for facilitating the action of proteins , and also helps in killing microbes.
Mucus protects the inner lining of stomach from HCl
