BETAINE HCl 650 MG

Betaine HCl

• Helps the digestive system break down proteins into smaller, more easily absorbed substances like amino acids and peptides^*

• The stomach can use Betaine HCl, a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid, to produce pepsin^*

  ^DESCRIPTION

  In the stomach, hydrochloric acid converts pepsinogen to pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein. Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller, more easily absorbed substances. As people age, hydrochloric acid secretion may be reduced, which can result in decreased levels of pepsin. Without proper pepsin levels, the body has a difficult time digesting food. Betaine hydrochloride is used as a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid, which can be utilized by the stomach to produce pepsin. The combination of betaine hydrochloride and pepsin provide an excellent stomach tonic.*
