Betaine HCl 180 Vegetarian Capsules

When you think of stomach acid, you probably associate it with ulcers and acid reflux. These conditions are caused by too much acid, which is a fairly common occurrence. However, it’s also possible to have too little stomach acid, which can lead to other problems. Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) in order to break down the proteins and fats from the foods you eat; this allows your body to use them. It also helps you absorb key nutrients—like vitamin C, calcium, and iron—and gives you some protection from harmful bacteria. When you don’t have enough of this acid, you can suffer symptoms of malabsorption, a condition in which your body can’t absorb nutrients. These symptoms vary and include gas, diarrhea, weak muscles, and unintentional weight loss. You might have low levels of HCl acid if you have asthma, allergies, or gallstones. In order to increase these levels, talk to your doctor about taking a supplement that contains this acid.

Pharmax’s Betaine HCl gives your stomach the acidic boost it needs. It contains hydrochloric acid in the form of betain HCl, which is the only active ingredient in this product. Taking this vegetarian supplement may help relieve the side effects of low stomach acid levels, and may ensure proper digestion. It should be used with caution, since taking too much or taking it on an empty stomach can cause a burning sensation. Your doctor can let you know if Betaine HCl is safe for you to take based on your current stomach acid levels. Each capsule provides you with 750 mg of this necessary acid.

One bottle of Betaine HCl by Pharmax contains 180 capsules, which should last between three and six months. Take one to two capsules daily after a meal, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
