Dr. Clark Betaine HCL Supplement, 425mg, 100 Capsules

Product Description

Betaine hydrochloride (betaine HCL) is an acidic form of betaine, a vitamin-like substance found in grains and other foods. Betaine HCL is recommended as a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid for people who have a deficiency of stomach acid production. The acidic environment in the stomach helps to break down dietary fats and protein for better assimilation of the smaller nutritional components in the body-proteins into peptides and animo acids, fats into fatty acids. As we get older, the stomach's ability to secrete HCL weakens. Lowered acidity in the stomach is a leading cause of digestive complaints and can lead to chronic inflammation if left untreated. Insufficient acidity leaves undigested food particles to rot, disallowing vital nutrients to be absorbed. This also creates an environment more prone to support the proliferation of potentially harmful microorganisms. The digestive enzyme pepsin is activated in an acidic environment. Because pepsin and HCL work together to break down your food, healthcare professionals recommend taking pepsin at the same time you take your HCL supplements.*
