Betaine HCL & Pepsin 225

Betaine HCl & Pepsin is a digestive support supplement designed to enhance stomach acid and protein digestion. It is especially useful for people experiencing bloating, gas, or indigestion after meals, or for those who may have low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria). Proper stomach acid is essential for nutrient absorption and preventing food sensitivities.*

Mechanism of Action

• Stomach Acid Support: Betaine HCl increases hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach, which is critical for breaking down proteins and activating digestive enzymes.*

• Protein Digestion: Pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme, helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for absorption.*

• Nutrient Absorption: Adequate HCl helps prevent maldigestion, supporting absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and minerals.*

• Gut Health: Proper digestion reduces the risk of food proteins entering the bloodstream intact, which may lower the likelihood of developing food sensitivities.*
