Product Description

Benefits individuals with occasional indigestion*

Betaine HCl and Pepsin work together to ensure the efficient digestion of proteins, as well as promote a balanced level of stomach acidity for optimal enzyme activity.

Indigestion is a common issue, but not enough people are aware that inadequate hydrochloric acid in the stomach can be to blame. HCl secretion has many benefits: it helps break down proteins into more easily digestible forms, wards off any ingested pathogens and bacteria from entering our system, prevents unhealthy overgrowth of microbes in the small intestine, and stimulates bile flow for proper digestion with pancreatic enzymes' help. As we age, the production of hydrochloric acid in our stomachs decrease which can lead to impaired digestion. Poor protein digestion due to low levels of this vital digestive enzyme has been documented by researchers and requires a supplement like Betaine HCl & Pepsin from Thorne's that is derived from porcine sources for its replenishment. Furthermore, adequate amounts are important as they facilitate absorption into our bodies of essential vitamins such as folate, B12 and beta-carotene along with minerals including iron, calcium magnesium and zinc.

Millions of people face the unpleasantness of indigestion every day. Food choices can be its major catalyst, with fatty items, simple carbohydrates and spicy foods all potential culprits. Yet it could even point to a larger issue – low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Therefore addressing this underlying cause may provide real relief from sometimes-debilitating discomfort.

Gastrointestinal discomfort is caused by a variety of factors, including illness, gall bladder removal and increased age. However the most prevalent cause lies in insufficient stomach acid secretion - this can lead to issues such as indigestion, bloating and gas due to disrupted digestive enzyme activity. Maldigestion can bring about a range of unpleasant side effects, including digestive problems and poor absorption of essential nutrients. This may lead to vitamin deficiencies - particularly in fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K. In addition, food allergies might develop if large proteins are absorbed through an impaired gut lining; the body perceives them as foreign substances which it then attacks with antibodies for protection purposes. To maintain healthy digestion one should monitor their stomach acid content ahead of time so that any issues can be easily prevented from escalating further.
