The Active Ingredient Is: Betaine HCl (Hydrochloride)

Betaine HCl helps create the acidic conditions required for normal digestion in the stomach. This form is involved in supporting the environment where enzymes such as pepsin can function effectively.

This form is designed to contribute to the stomach’s acidic milieu and to support the breakdown of proteins as part of usual digestive processes.

What Does Betaine HCl Do?

Betaine HCl helps maintain normal gastric acidity, which supports the activity of digestive enzymes and the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Scientific discussions also suggest improved absorption of certain nutrients with adequate stomach acid, in line with EFSA guidance.

Dr. Rinsma of a university found that increased stomach acidity can enhance pepsin activity and nutrient breakdown, illustrating the role of this compound in normal digestion.
