NOW Foods HCL Betaine Supplement with 648 mg H CL – 240 Count Bottle
Digestive Enzyme Support for Women and Men
BETAINE
NOW Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach.*
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes.*
ENHANCED WITH PEPSIN
Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods.* HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function.*
VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY
Made with vegetarian protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin.
SUGGESTED USAGE:
Take 1-2 capsules at the beginning of each meal. Do not take on an empty stomach.
