Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, which helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes.
Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods and stimulates protein synthesis. HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function
This supplement uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin.
Take 1 capsule with each meal.
Do not take on an empty stomach. Do not take if you have stomach or duodenal ulcers.
Store in a cool dry place. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Do not use as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.
