Betaine HCl Pepsin and Gentian Bitters - 120 Capsules

 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.

 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.

 This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin.

Betaine HCl/Pepsin/Gentian Bitters contains three nutritional factors that perform complementary functions designed to support the efficiency of the digestive process. Supplementing with Betaine HCl may support the stomach's digestive capacity. Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the body to digest protein-containing foods in the stomach. Pepsin works in conjunction with stomach acid to support protein digestion. Gentian is a herb used to promote digestive capacity and tonify the digestive tract. Its bitter nature may help to stimulate the body's production of digestive enzymes.
