1. Betaine HCL and Pepsin capsules from Thorne Research are a powerful digestive aid that can help improve overall digestion and nutrient absorption. 2. This supplement may also support a healthy balance of stomach acid levels, which can help alleviate symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.

The Active Ingredient Is: Betaine HCl

Betaine hydrochloride is an ingredient used to support stomach acidity and digestion when your natural stomach acid isn’t enough. This version adds an acidifying kick to aid the digestive process, often in combination with pepsin in digestive support formulations.

In this formula, the other notable ingredient is pepsin derived from porcine sources, contributing to protein digestion alongside betaine HCl. The formulation is gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free and uses standard capsule materials.

What Does Betaine HCl Do?

Betaine HCl helps support normal stomach acidity and may improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially from protein-rich meals, which aligns with EFSA and NHS-style guidance. The combination with pepsin facilitates gastric protein digestion as described in relevant literature.

Dr. Feldman at the University noted that betaine HCl can aid digestion in people with reduced gastric acid, helping protein breakdown in the stomach.
