Betaine HCl Pepsin
Betaine HCl increases the acidity of the stomach and is short-acting, temporarily lowering gastric pH when taken before meals. It supports healthy gastric function and promotes the absorption of protein, vitamin B12, calcium, and iron from food sources. In addition, it may enhance digestive enzyme function. This supplement is made with high-quality ingredients and is backed by verifiable science.

- Healthy digestion support
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 3 times daily, with each meal.
Verifiable Science
Betaine HCl and pepsin are gastric-juice components essential to the digestion of food and absorption of most nutrients.1 In particular, betaine HCl is necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron.2 The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid destroys ingested bacteria and microorganisms.3,4 This formula can be beneficial for anyone seeking enhanced digestive function.‡
