Betaine & Pepsin 225 Capsules

Stomach problems and illnesses are extremely common in today’s society. Poor eating habits can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, and gas. All of these conditions may interfere with your body's ability to digest food properly, and can also affect your stomach acid levels. This acid, which also known as gastric acid, is the fluid in your digestive system that plays an important role in the digestive process.

Stomach acid is produced by the cells in your stomach lining. The thought of having acid in your stomach may sound bad, but it's actually a good thing in moderation, because it keeps your body functioning normally. It's critical to helping your body break down proteins and destroy harmful bacteria. However, you can sometimes experience an acid deficiency or excessive acid buildup or not enough acid; when either happens, you may suffer from discomfort. Your doctor can help you determine why your stomach acid levels are less than ideal. He or she might also recommend taking a supplement that helps restore optimal levels of stomach acid.

Betaine & Pepsin by Ortho Molecular Products helps balance the level of gastric acid present in your stomach. Each capsule contains a combination of betaine and pepsin for a one-two punch to regulate stomach acid and help relieve symptoms associated with digestive problems. It's designed to be easily absorbed by your body, which might provide faster relief. The active ingredients are:

• Betaine HCl (betaine hydrochloride), which helps make sure that your stomach has the right amount of acid needed for proper digestion
• Pepsin, which is an enzyme that helps your body break down proteins and properly digest the nutrients contained in foods and other supplements.

Each bottle of Ortho Molecular Products’ Betaine & Pepsin provides 225 capsules. Take one to two capsules before every meal, unless otherwise directed by a health care professional.
