A unique blend of betaine hydrochloride with pepsin to support healthy stomach acidity, gastric function, and protein digestion.Research suggests that the healthy production of hydrochloric acid and gastric enzymes are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of stress, occasional sleeplessness, and the aging process. Betaine HCl provides a combination of betaine hydrochloride and pepsin that works with the body to support healthy stomach acidity, gastric function, and protein digestion. Adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid are necessary for the absorption of vitamins and minerals, and to maintain a sterile environment in the stomach. Pepsins represent approximately 70% of the protein-digesting enzymes needed to convert the protein in food into usable amino acids.
