Betaine HCl + pepsin 800 mg, 60 capsules

Effective support for your digestive system

The combination of Betaine HCL and Pepsin is a great help for people struggling with digestive problams, and especially for those who, for some reason (e.g. due to Helicobacter Pylori infection), have too little hydrochloric acid in their stomach. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for the proper absorption of nutrients and digestion of proteins. This can cause digestive problems, resulting in reduced absorption and malnutrition.

FEATURES:

• supports digestion of proteins in particular
• improves absorption and assimilation of nutrients (e.g. vitamin B12)
• betaine helps maintain normal homocysteine levels
• can alleviate side effects (indigestion) from GLP analogues
• reduce the feeling of reflux, heartburn
• helps build muscle mass

The product is particularly useful for people on high-protein diets, who are keen to maximise protein absorption and help build muscle mass.
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced by the cells lining the stomach, which breaks down proteins into simpler molecules (in the case of a properly functioning stomach). It is worth mentioning that gastric lining cells and normal levels of hydrochloric acid are essential for the absorption of many nutrients, above all vitamin B12.

Betaine also supports the body in metabolising homocysteine. It is an amino acid that the human body needs for the production of its own proteins. It also supports the liver in its detoxification function and the production of amino acids. Taking betaine HCL can help reduce bloating, constipation and excessive gas. Betaine, as a derivative of glycine, has been shown to support muscle mass building. Together, they improve digestion and often relieve symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux, replacing antacids. Early indications also show that betaine hydrochloride with pepsin may also alleviate some of the side effects of semaglutide, a new method of weight management.
