The Active Ingredient Is: Betaine HCL (Betaine Hydrochloride)

Betaine HCL is a source of hydrochloric acid that supports the normal digestive process by contributing to stomach acidity. This formula is naturally sourced from beets and includes Pepsin as an additional proteolytic enzyme.

In this product, Pepsin is provided as a separate digestive enzyme derived from porcine pancreas to aid in protein breakdown and nutrient utilisation.

What Does Betaine HCL Do?

Betaine HCL helps support the digestive cascade by contributing to an acidic stomach environment, which assists with the activation of pepsin and protein digestion. This mechanism aligns with EFSA guidance on digestion and with NHS information on gastric function.

The acidic environment also supports the breakdown and absorption of certain fat-soluble nutrients, contributing to overall digestive efficiency.

This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
