NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648 mg — 120 Veg Capsules

NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648 mg is a digestive-support supplement formulated to assist with the digestion of protein and other nutrients. Betaine hydrochloride provides hydrochloric acid (HCl), which helps maintain the acidic environment required for normal digestive processes in the stomach.

Hydrochloric acid is naturally produced by the stomach and supports protein digestion by activating pepsin. Pepsin is a protease that partially breaks dietary proteins down into smaller components.

Stomach-acid production may decline with age. Supplementing with Betaine HCl and an acid-stable protease may therefore help support normal digestive function. This product contains a vegetarian, acid-stable protease with activity comparable to pepsin of animal origin.

Key Benefits

• Supports protein digestion: Betaine HCl helps maintain the acidic gastric environment required for the effective digestion of dietary protein.

• Supports nutrient availability: Adequate stomach acidity plays an important role in releasing nutrients from food.

• Acid-stable protease: Contains a vegetarian protease derived from Aspergillus niger to support protein breakdown.

• Digestive support: Developed for adults seeking additional support with meals.

• Vegetarian formula: Supplied in vegetable capsules.
