The Active Ingredient Is: Betaine HCl

Betaine HCl is basically a digestive helper that supports stomach acidity, which helps the normal digestion of proteins. This form is paired with an acid-stable protease to help break down proteins in the digestive system.

The acid-stable protease comes from the fungus Aspergillus niger, giving a vegetarian option that lines up with vegan and non-GMO sourcing practices.

What Does Betaine HCl Do?

Betaine HCl helps keep the normal digestion rolling by supporting stomach acidity, which helps wake up natural digestive enzymes in the stomach. This helps break down proteins and release intestinal enzymes as part of healthy digestion.

Evidence from EU/UK guidance and clinical contexts reinforces the role of gastric acidity in digestion and nutrient processing, with betaine-related mechanisms described as part of normal physiology.
