Betaine HCl & Pepsin promotes optimal stomach acidity, protein digestion, and enzyme activity. Read More
  • Description
  • Ingredients
  • How to Use
  • Indigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach does several positive things. It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, it renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and it encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Numerous studies have shown that hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach begins to decline with advancing age. Overuse of antacids or acid blockers can also lead to low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can result in poor protein digestion. Thorne’s Betaine HCl & Pepsin comes from a porcine source. Indigestion affects millions of people every day. For some, it’s brought on by eating fatty foods. For others, simple carbohydrates (like bread and pasta) can cause gas and bloating. And for other individuals, spicy foods can cause them grief. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could also be related to an underlying problem – low hydrochloric acid (HCl) content in the stomach. Situations such as illness, gall bladder removal, overuse of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, which can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and lead to occasional indigestion, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort. Maldigestion can also lead to digestive problems and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in vitamin deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K). Food allergies can develop when inadequately digested proteins are absorbed through a leaky gut. As large proteins are absorbed intact, the body might recognize them as foreign and create antibodies against them, resulting in an allergic response to the food. To ensure optimal digestion, an individual should make sure to have adequate HCl content in the stomach.

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS and have had

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS and have had a terrible six months with the most debilitating stomach problems. I didn't want to have to accept a lifetime of medication so did some reading up on my symptoms in search of a natural cure - and found people using this. One of my problems was undigested food and so I did a simple recommended stomach avid test with bicarbonate of soda (you can Google this) & found I did seem to have all the syptoms of low stomach acid so decided to dive right in and try this. I started with 1 tablet and worked my way up to 3 with each protein meal. I have a cupboard full of prescription drugs the GP gave me for IBS but I have so far not taken them. It is early days yet but this, couple with a high dose prebiotic and some dietary adjustments is beginning to relieve me of my symptoms. I'm not sure yet whether I'm on my maximum dose but I no longer have loose stools or urgency after eating trigger foods (not sure what these are yet!) I still have some rumblings and stomach ache, so I am not cured but feel sure I'm on the right track with this. I suspect this is on the way to being life changing, I just need some dose modification and more time.

Mr. Reviewer
Thorne Research's quality is fine and the ingredients are benign.

Thorne Research's quality is fine and the ingredients are benign. One of the best or maybe the best you can buy. If I could take only 1 type of supplement, it would be HCL. (it is the type of acid that your body naturally produces when you are young AND healthy. also called stomach acid) It kind of saved my life. It cures a lot of problems by killing pathogens in your stomach (it is an acid after all), helps absorbing vitamins and more (the low PH helps), gives you a huge amount of energy boost. Sleep to much? Try this! Everyone knows that food can make you sleepy when you don't sleep enough. When it happens, I just take a pill or two, and my tiredness diminishes in a few minutes. (Your stomach is freed up from the burden of making HCL which is a complicated process and needs a lots of energy) If you're interested why Hydrochloric acid (=HCL) is wonderful, I recommend reading "Why Stomach Acid is Good for You" by Jonathan Wright.

This Brand is great and this works!

I have spent 1000 on pills trying to figure out my painful digestion issues and inability to eat. This was the last hope for me and it worked! Noticed a difference in 2 days
