690mg betaine hydrochloride (hydrochloric acid) to support stomach acid.
Enhances protein digestion
With 20mg pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, supporting digestion.
Aids nutrient absorption
Adequate stomach acid is essential for the absorption of nutrients such as B12 and zinc.
Supports immunity
An acidic stomach environment is essential for protecting against harmful pathogens
Betaine & Pepsin is a high potency formulation to support optimal stomach acid levels and healthy digestion.
As we age, or due to various factors such as stress, medications, poor diet or infections, our body’s ability to produce stomach acid can decline. This reduction in hydrochloric acid (HCl) may lead to common digestive complaints such as bloating, feeling excessively full after meals and difficulty breaking down protein-rich foods. An acidic stomach environment is not only crucial for activating pepsin and digesting proteins but also plays a vital role in enhancing absorption of key nutrients such as zinc and vitamin B12 and supporting immunity as the first line of defence against harmful pathogens
Take 2 capsules with the main meal of the day, or as directed by a practitioner.

FAQ’s
Why is stomach acid important for digestion?
Stomach acid is essential for breaking down proteins, activating the enzyme pepsin and triggering the release of digestive juices like bile and pancreatic enzymes. It is important for efficient digestion and the absorption of key nutrients such as B12 and zinc.
What are the symptoms of low stomach acid?
Low stomach acid can lead to poor protein digestion, bloating, reflux, feeling excessively full after meals, nutrient deficiencies (like B12, iron and zinc) and increase the risk of infections in the gut due to reduced defence against harmful microbes.
