Description
Additional information

Betaine HCl is a digestive aid containing betaine HCl for people with insufficient stomach acid production (hypochlorydria). Betaine HCl especially supports digestion of protein and fats. People with insufficient stomach acid not only suffer digestive disturbances such as gas, bloating and discomfort after meals as they may also be unable to absorb nutrients from their foods and supplements.

Betaine and Pepsin 10,000BNF are often combined in digestive supplements to support stomach acid levels and aid digestion. Here’s how each component functions in the body:

Betaine (Hydrochloride – HCl):
- Betaine HCl is a form of hydrochloric acid, which aims to boost stomach acidity. Sufficient stomach acid is crucial for digesting proteins and absorbing certain nutrients, like vitamin B12 and minerals.
- Betaine HCl may be helpful for individuals with low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), which can lead to digestive discomfort, bloating, and nutrient deficiencies.
Pepsin (10,000NF units):
- Pepsin is an enzyme that helps break down proteins in the stomach, converting them into smaller peptides. It works best in an acidic environment, so it pairs well with Betaine HCl.
- Pepsin at 10,000 units is a potent form, which can be beneficial for those who need extra support in protein digestion due to low stomach acid or compromised digestive function.

Together, Betaine and Pepsin may help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and improve overall digestive efficiency, especially for those with low stomach acid. However, these supplements are best used under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as excessive stomach acid can lead to irritation and ulcers if improperly used.

*People that are “high risk” shouldn’t take Betaine HCl without supervision. You’re at high risk if you’re consuming any anti-inflammaory medicines. Examples of those are: corticosteroids, aspirin, Indocin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or other NSAIDs. These drugs can damage the GI lining and supplementing with HCl could aggravate it, increasing the risks of bleeding or ulcer.
