Betaine Hydrochloride (HCL)

An effective aid for healthy protein digestion, Betaine HCl is a delivery form of hydrochloric acid, the substance that creates the acid environment in the stomach. 50% percent of adults are suspected of having low stomach acid and supplementing with Betaine HCl may help correct this problem. Without proper levels of HCl in the stomach, protein does not get digested or absorbed, and it is easier for bacteria and single celled organisms to survive in the stomach, which may cause serious health conditions.
