Betaine HCl + pepsin 800 mg, 60 caps

Effective support for your digestive system

The combination of Betaine HCL and Pepsin provides essential support for individuals struggling with digestive issues, especially those who secrete too little hydrochloric acid in the stomach for various reasons. Hydrochloric acid is important for proper absorption of nutrients and digestion of proteins. Its deficiency can promote digestive problems and, consequently, impaired absorption. The product is particularly useful for people on high-protein diets who are concerned about maximise protein absorption and supporting muscle mass development.

FEATURES:

• Supports digestion, particularly of proteins.
• Improves absorption and assimilation of nutrients (e.g., vitamin B12).
• Betaine helps maintain normal homocysteine levels.
• May support digestive comfort, including with feelings of indigestion.
• Supports gastric comfort after meals.
• Supports muscle mass building.

Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced by parietal cells in the stomach lining, which breaks down proteins into simpler molecules (in the case of a properly functioning stomach). It is worth mentioning that stomach lining cells and normal levels of hydrochloric acid play an important role in the absorption of many nutrients, especially vitamin B12.

Betaine also supports the body in metabolising homocysteine. This is a nutrient the body needs to make its own proteins. It also assists the liver in its proper functioning and production of amino acids. Taking betaine HCL can support digestive comfort, including with feelings of bloating and excessive gas. Betaine, as a derivative of glycine, has been shown to support muscle mass building. Together, they improve digestion and often promote stomach comfort after meals. Early reports also suggest that betaine hydrochloride with pepsin may support digestive comfort in some individuals.
