The Active Ingredient Is: Betaine HCl

Betaine HCl is basically a salt of betaine that helps shape the stomach's digestive environment and is commonly used to support gastric acidity.

The form in this blend joins Betaine with hydrochloride, and the product also includes extra digestive components like pepsin and gentian bitters to support overall digestion.

What Does Betaine HCl Do?

It helps restore stomach acid levels, supporting the digestive process and protein breakdown in the stomach, which is important for normal digestion of meals.

This effect is talked about in the context of stomach acidity and enzyme activity, lining up with EFSA and NHS guidance on normal digestive function. Dr. Patel from University of Oxford flagged this mechanism in related research discussions.
