  • Betaine HCl provides a source of hydrochloric acid, which is essential for proper protein digestion and nutrient absorption, particularly in individuals with declining stomach acid production.
  • Pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme, works synergistically with Betaine HCl to break down proteins into smaller peptides, facilitating efficient digestion and reducing the likelihood of digestive discomfort.
  • Optimal stomach acidity, supported by Betaine HCl, is crucial for activating pepsinogen into its active form, pepsin, ensuring effective protein digestion.
  • Adequate hydrochloric acid levels, maintained by Betaine HCl, support the absorption of vital nutrients such as folate, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium, contributing to overall health and well-being.
  • Promotes optimal stomach acidity for digestion.
  • Supports efficient protein breakdown and absorption.
  • Maintains healthy enzyme activity in the stomach.
  • Encourages the absorption of key nutrients.
  • Supports healthy digestive function.
