Product description

Betaine hcl is a form of hcl used as a nutrient to supplement the stomach's own production of hcl, or stomach acid. While occasional indigestion may be a result of acid irritating tissue in the structure above the stomach known as the esophagus, a line of research suggests that the cause of this irritation may actually be less than optimal stomach acid production. Stomach acid is normally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and the function of stomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller fragments and nutrient components. These components move through the stomach into the small intestine where they are further broken down by digestive enzymes in the upper part of the small intestine. Individual nutrients that result from the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates can then be absorbed and assimilated by the body and used for metabolism and growth.

• BETAINE HCL/PEPSIN/GENTIAN BITTERS contains three nutritional factors that perform complementary functions designed to support the efficiency of the digestive process. Supplementing with Betaine HCl helps support the stomach’s digestive capacity. Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the body to digest protein-containing foods in the stomach.
• PEPSIN works in conjunction with stomach acid to support protein digestion. Gentian is an herb used to optimize the digestive capacity and tonify the digestive tract. Its bitter nature may help to stimulate the body's production of digestive enzymes.
• SUPPORTS HEALTHY PH LEVELS Betaine hydrochloride supports the microbial balance and helps maintain healthy pH levels in the stomach and small intestine. Gentian is a bitter herb that helps support normal production of stomach acid.
• SUPPORTS DIGESTION Betaine HCL and Pepsin work together to break down food and help prevent occasional gas and bloating when taken before a meal.
• GETTING THE RIGHT BALANCE of flora - Betaine HCl/Pepsin/Gentian Bitters use helps maintain proper digestive function and overall health.

Supports the Stomach and Optimizes digestive efficiency*

Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters contains three nutritional factors that perform complementary functions designed to support the efficiency of the digestive process. Research suggests that the efficiency of stomach acid production may be altered with the ageing process. Supplementing with Betaine HCl may support the stomach’s digestive capacity. Pepsin is an enzyme produced by the body to digest protein-containing foods in the stomach. Pepsin works in conjunction with stomach acid to support protein digestion. Gentian is an herb used traditionally in many cultures to optimize digestive capacity and tonify the digestive tract. Its bitter nature may help to stimulate the body’s production of digestive enzymes. For optimal digestive support, use Betaine HCl Pepsin & Gentian Bitters in conjunction with Best Digestive Enzymes, a uniquely formulated, full-spectrum high potency digestive enzyme blend.

Betaine HCl is a form of HCl used as a nutrient to supplement the stomach’s own production of HCl, or stomach acid. While occasional indigestion may be a result of acid irritating tissue in the structure above the stomach known as the esophagus, a line of research suggests that the cause of this irritation may actually be less than optimal stomach acid production.

Stomach acid is normally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and the function of stomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller fragments and nutrient components. These components move through the stomach into the small intestine where they are further broken down by digestive enzymes in the upper part of the small intestine. The individual nutrients that result from the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates can then be absorbed and assimilated by the body and used for metabolism and growth. Optimal stomach acid production lessens the burden on the remainder of the digestive process, including enzyme production from the pancreas.

As mentioned earlier, the presence of optimal stomach acid is necessary for the digestion and absorption of critical nutrients. Amino acids and other peptides from proteins, minerals, vitamin B12 and folic acid are examples of nutrients that require proper levels of stomach acid for their absorption and usage. The presence of adequate acid in the stomach is also required for the conversion of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin is produced in the stomach from its precursor pepsinogen, which is secreted by cells known as chief cells, and functions to help with the digestion of proteins. Pepsin breaks proteins down into their amino acid components.

Ideal stomach acid production is also essential for maintaining a healthy bacterial balance in the intestines. Firstly, acid production in the stomach itself provides a protective barrier that keeps the stomach environment safe. Secondarily, appropriate levels of stomach acid lead to less remaining food fragments that may cause an imbalance in the growth of normal bacterial flora in the intestines. Achieving the correct balance of flora is a key to maintaining proper digestive function and overall health.

Achieving the correct balance of flora is a key to maintaining proper digestive and overall health

Research also suggests that the body’s capacity to produce stomach acid normally declines as we age. Moreover, stress and other factors may impact proper stomach acid production. Occasional heartburn, bloating, belching, discomfort, and a "sour stomach" may often result from this. Food that we eat enters the stomach through the esophagus, or food pipe. At the junction of the esophagus with the stomach is a muscular structure known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When food enters the stomach for digestion, the LES normally contracts, narrowing the passageway between the esophagus and the stomach and preventing the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. A major trigger for the process of tightening the sphincter is the presence of sufficient stomach acid. When sufficient stomach acid is sensed, the LES will close. Adequate stomach acid production is an essential criterion for the sphincter to function properly and prevent the backflow of stomach contents.1

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product come with a satisfaction guarantee
Answer:	There are non-animal capsules, but these are typically marked "vegetarian capsule" or "Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose" or maybe the inconsistent "vegetarian gelatin". Anything like this that just says "gelatin" is almost certainly animal-based.
Question:	is this prduct returnable if it dsoesnt work for me
Answer:	It looks gluten-free reading the ingredients which are few. I can't eat wheat, or grain of any kind and I've never had a problem with this enzyme. I've been using this product for about a year. I hope this helps.
Question:	Is this product sourced in usa? if not which country
Answer:	According to the Label it says it's a 'Vegetarian Formula"; and "This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin". Therefor My understanding, is No it does NOT contain Pork!
Question:	So this is powdered inside of a capsule
Answer:	Most people with digestive problems also have low stomach hydrochloric acid. This starts a chain reaction which disables the rest of the digestive process. By taking this product (if you're low), you enable the other enzymes to work more effectively, so you may not need a separate enzyme supplement. Eating raw foods (including animal foods, such as egg yolks, milk, and even meat occasionally) also will provide necessary digestive enzymes -- especially if you culture your foods first. If you're on a diet such as GAPS, you may be restricting raw vegetables and fruits at least initially. When you can eat those without upset, they'll also provide a great source of enzymes. Of course, vegetable enzymes help you digest vegetables; raw- and cultured-milk enzymes help you digest milk, etc.

Introducing Upgraded Betaine HCL

Say hello to Upgraded Betaine HCL

If you're anything like us, you probably eat a wide variety of foods. From scrambled eggs for breakfast to a chicken salad for dinner, anything is possible. Now, while Betaine HCL is very helpful for digesting the protein in these meals, there is so much more we can do to help you!

That's why Upgraded Betaine HCL also includes:

1) Pepsin - to further break down proteins*

2) Ox Bile - to help with digestion of any fats*

3) Organic Gentian Root - to support your body's own digestive processes*

4) Organic Ginger - help with gas and soothe GI tract*

Morning

Taking 1 capsule each morning with your breakfast can be a wise idea if it contains protein (e.g. eggs) and fat (e.g. butter).

Noon

Using Upgraded Betaine HCL with your lunch can help with digestion of any fish, meat, avocado or healthy fats you eat.

Night

Plus with dinner it can make things much more pleasant before going to bed. Goodbye mini food baby!*

Any time

And of course, if you enjoy any snacks or desserts throughout the day, Upgraded Betaine HCL will help support digestion.*

Which meals should I take Upgraded Betaine HCL with?

Upgraded Betaine HCL is best taken with meals that contain 20+ grams of protein, as well as some fat.

Examples would be:

• Scrambled eggs with some butter or olive oil
• A salad with chicken and dressing etc

By contrast, there is no need to take it when eating something without protein & fat, e.g. a juice.

What's the best time to take it?

Ideally, you should try to take it just as you sit down to eat your meal. If you forget, you can also take it halfway through eating your meal.

How many should I take?

We recommend starting with just 1 capsule and seeing how you feel.

Can I take it out of the capsule?

With many supplements, it doesn’t really matter. But since it contains Betaine Hydrochloride, it is best to take it within the capsule.

Why Betaine HCL with Pepsin?

Essential to healthy digestion, Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) and Pepsin are naturally produced in the stomach and help the body obtain and break down nutrients from the foods we eat. Unfortunately, as we age, the body’s production of HCL decreases, which can lead to poor digestive function and nutrient absorption.

This high potency formula provides 650mg of Betaine HCL, thought to help support the body’s production of hydrochloric acid, while Pepsin, a key digestive enzyme, may help the body break down proteins, amino acids and vitamins and support proper digestion and stomach comfort.

Superior Ingredients:

• Betaine HCI
• Pepsin
• Other Ingredients: Vegetable Cellulose Capsule, Cellulose, Maltodextrin and Magnesium Stearate.

Answer:	Yes they do. I was very disappointed. The 250 mg ones do not though. Not sure why the difference.
Question:	How much of the Betaine HCL & Pepsin is in each capsule? I couldn't find that very important information on this product
Answer:	Solaray High Potency HCL With Pepsin 650 mg.Solaray High Potency HCL With Pepsin is a digestive supplement with 10 grain, high potency formulation. The digestive process takes place as food passes through the mouth, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. One of the most important parts of digestion occurs in the stomach, where gastric (stomach) acid helps break down proteins for further digestion in the small intestine. A low level of gastric acid increases the likelihood and severity of certain bacterial and parasitic intestinal infections. A normal stomachs level of gastric acid is sufficient to destroy bacteria. Some bacterial colonization of the stomach occurred in individuals who had low levels of hydrochloric acid. Therefore taking a HCL supplement will aid the stomach's acid to destroy harmful bacteria. Supplementing with betaine HCl in addition to the digestive tract soother pepsin relieves the symptoms of heartburn and improves digestion. Take HCL with Pepsin at the first sight of heartburn exactly the way you would take an antiacid.

We test our raw materials, in-process batches, finish products, and product stability for each product.

Thinking Sustainably

We're thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards.

Product description

Betaine Hydrochloride supports normal gastrointestinal pH. Since 1929, Standard Process has been the visionary leader in whole food nutrient solutions. We apply systems thinking to holistic nutrition that empowers practitioners to transform lives. Dedicated to the whole food philosophy of our founder, Dr. Royal Lee, our goal is to carry on his mission to provide nutrients for the body that are as close as possible to how they are found in nature. Our products include foods that are prepared in a way that safeguards their nutritional value.

The resulting whole food ingredients are then added to a formula that may include whole food extracts, animal tissue extracts and concentrates, botanicals, whole food isolates and synthetic ingredients. These highly complex combinations contain a variety of elements designed to trigger trophic effects that support the body’s healthy balance and wellness.
