Product Description: Digestive SupportVegetable FormulaNon-GMO SupplementVegan & Vegan FriendlyFamily Business Founded in 1968Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Quality AssuranceNOW® Betaine HCL is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is normally produced in the stomach and activates pepsin to help digest proteins, maintain a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria, and stimulate the release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods. As we age, our production of HCl decreases, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin can help maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a plant-based acid-stabilized protease that has the same activity as animal-based pepsin.
Directions: Take 1-2 capsules at the beginning of each meal. Do not take on an empty stomach.
