Description

Betaine HCL 648 mg by NOW Foods is designed to support digestive processes in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it aids in the digestion of proteins by activating pepsin, helps maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes.

Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in food. HCl production tends to decrease with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a plant-derived, acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of pepsin derived from animals.

  • 648 mg Betaine HCL per capsule.
  • Suitable for vegetarians.
  • Easy-to-swallow capsules.

Recommended dosage: Take 1-2 capsules at the beginning of each meal.

    Excellent product from a quality company. Hydrochloric betaine (betaine HCL) is a supplement for stomach acid. Most people do not produce enough stomach acid (about 2,500 mg/meal). Thus, food does not dissolve properly in the stomach and this creates issues, such as pieces of food in the stool (undigested food), bacterial growth in the stomach (since there is no acid in the stomach, so there is free space for growth which in the long term can cause cancer), the person loses weight, muscle, and mass (due to not eating), there is constant diarrhea, bacterial and fungal growth in the small intestine (from microorganisms that have not been killed by the acid - skin issues), etc. The biggest symptom is the constant lack of hunger (from the lack of stomach acid). Take 500-600 mg per meal (at the end of the meal) and increase by 1 pill per meal per day, until heartburn occurs. If heartburn occurs, reduce by 1 pill. Continue until the stomach can produce hydrochloric acid on its own. That is, until the normal function of the stomach is restored, at which point you will no longer need the supplement (the sense of hunger will have returned).
