User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone confirmed for a fact that the gelatin or any other ingredient that makes up this pill is coming from animals
Answer:	Sincere apologies for the delayed reply. Expiration is 2 years from the month you purchase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Isn't it disingenuous to call this vegetarian when there's pork derivatives in it
Answer:	No, I would not take it if it did!
Question:	Hi - Perhaps you could put this answer with the question about the size of the tablet - is it possible to cut it in half to make it easier to swallow
Answer:	650mg of Betaine HCL and 162mg of Pepsin.
Question:	How can you tell the difference between heartburn and the burn from having had too much of this product
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.

Unique Formula

Thorne's Betaine HCl & Pepsin is derived from a porcine source.

Well-Researched Benefits

Indigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach assists protein digestion, inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes.

Free of Additives

This product is not diluted with lactose.

There are no unnecessary fillers or additives in Thorne supplements. Thorne is committed to providing high-quality supplements that contain research-backed ingredients, in efficacious amounts, that retain the potency to meet label claims until the day of expiration.

We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified.

Four Rounds of Testing

We run four rounds of testing for each of our products.

User questions & answers

Question:	How big are these capsules
Answer:	question regarding Betaine HCL and GMO. Schwabe North America (SNA) seeks to use ingredients that are non-GMO in our products when feasible. In some instances, ingredients may be derived from sources that are predominantly genetically modified such as soy or corn. In such cases, we strive to work with our vendors to provide PCR-negative testing results, a DNA test that can detect genetic modification. Many of the ingredients used in SNA products are not commonly known to be genetically modified (GMO).The following is a list of crops that the NON-GMO Project has identified as being high risk for genetic modification:Alfalfa (first planting 2011)Canola (approx. 90% of U.S. crop)Corn (approx. 88% of U.S. crop in 2011)Cotton (approx. 90% of U.S. crop in 2011)Papaya (most of Hawaiian crop; approximately 988 acres)Soy (approx. 94% of U.S. crop in 2011)Sugar Beets (approx. 95% of U.S. crop in 2010)Zucchini and Yellow Summer Squash (approx. 25,000 acres)A website link for more information: http://www.nongmoproject.org/learn-more/what-is-gmo/We have over 2000 products in our various brands, and currently we do not label our products with relation to GMOs. There is pending legislation in many states and many distributors and manufacturers are in the process of reviewing this type of labeling right now. We do expect label updates within the next several years.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product contain dairy
Answer:	Yes, it's on the front right of the bottle label below the name in the green part.
Question:	How much of each ingredient is present? Specifically, how much pepsin is present
Answer:	It works immediately if you are struggling with low stomach acid. You might have to take more than what's on the bottle. I have to take 5-6 capsules for relief with each meal. You will have to experiment to find how much is needed. You will get a burning sensation in your stomach if you take too much...that lets you know to back off and lower dosage. Not sure what you are taking it for so I'm just telling you what has worked for me. If you are struggling with GERD or reflux then it's probably low stomach acid which this product works great for! Good luck!
Question:	Do these have maltodextrin
Answer:	Can't find that info anywhere on bottle or on Amazon.
Question:	What is the purpose of hcl? and how does this product compare to premier hcl and hcl activator
Answer:	This Betaine Hydrochloride is from an artificial source. This is a synthetic product and is not Betaine Hydrochloride derived from a natural source.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Any pork ingredient in this formula
Answer:	My son had a ton of these. I don't think the product cured them so much as irritated his skin enough that he scratched them all, broke them open and his body fought them. Since Molloscum Contagiosum is caused by a virus, most doctor's won't give you a prescription medication for them, they will play the "wait and see game." We used this for about 2 months and most of them have shrunk or disappeared. A few new ones popped up during this time. I don't think this product hurt, but I don't really think it cured them either, I think my son's body and fingernails did most of the work.
Question:	Does the bottle have "usp," "nsf," or "consumer lab" printed on the label? thanks for any answers
Answer:	It doesn't scab. The wart just starts breaking down from the surface down. Once the calloused skin is gone you can see the root network, kinda crazy. But there was no open/broken skin throughout the whole process. We put bandiads over the wart when we put oil on it. My son is 8 and did it himself. Once in the morning. It falls off at school, so again when he gets home. And again after his shower. Two weeks. Gone. I posted a review. This stuff is AMAZING
Question:	Does this product contain pork
Answer:	Probably? I would only use it if you know you could keep it covered with something.
Question:	How many MG of each ingredient
Answer:	Yes! It worked very well for my daughter with molluscum. We used it twice a day every day and saw improvement within a week

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product contain any fermentation
Answer:	Literally the best product out there! I tried other products and they did nothing! In 3 days it was already clearing up. Just make sure you’re applying it all. The. Time. It says every hour, but that’s not practical for me, but I applied probably 8 times a day and was blown away
Question:	carry this with a qut of
Answer:	I did not see that it worked. I tried it faithfully for 2 weeks. I have an eczema baby so her skin is worse than most.
Question:	Does this product contain any porcine? Specifically the pepsin and hcl
Answer:	I applied to the affected area only. In order to not cross contaminate I'd recommend using a different Q-tip swab for each pimple like irritation. If your area is already open, and you don't use a different Q-Tip swab - you would be spreading it further and complicating your situation. Q-tips are cheap - so its worth it
Question:	Does this come with two bottles, because its priced twice as high as it should be
Answer:	I don't see why not. It is very runny. I would put it on a bandaid and then put that on the face.

Product description

Beatine HCL and pepsin are components in stomach acid—two compounds secreted to help the body digest protein and fat. As we age, the stomach’s ability to secrete HCL and digestive enzymes weakens. Low acidity in the stomach leaves food improperly digested, inhibits nutrient absorption, and promotes the proliferation of potentially harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract.*

• Supports healthy stomach acidity*
• Aids in protein digestion*
• Promotes nutrient absorption*
• Free from manufacturing agents, coatings, colorings, binders, fillers and release agents
• No Magnesium Stearate, Silica, Dioxides, Sulfates, Starch, Soy, Nuts or Milk
