As we age, hydrochloric acid production in the stomach frequently declines and this can give rise to gut symptoms including bloating and feeling excessively full for long periods after eating.
- Hydrochloric acid has a number of important functions within the stomach - it assists with the digestion of food; creates an acidic environment in the stomach necessary for the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin to work and for the absorption of some minerals e.g. iron, calcium and zinc. It also kills undesirable bacteria in the food (i.e. sterilises ingested food)
- Pepsin is a protein digesting enzyme produced in the stomach, where protein digestion begins. It works best at a low pH (i.e. an acidic environment)
- Each Betaine HCL with Pepsin capsule provides betaine HCl 345mg and pepsin NF 10mg
