Betaine hydrochloride provides hydrochloric acid (HCl), which helps maintain the acidic environment required for normal digestive processes in the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrochloric 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStomach-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports protein digestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Betaine HCl helps maintain the acidic gastric environment required for the effective digestion of dietary protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports nutrient availability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adequate stomach acidity plays an important role in releasing nutrients from food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcid-stable protease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains a vegetarian protease derived from \u003cem\u003eAspergillus niger\u003c\/em\u003e to support protein breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigestive support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Developed for adults seeking additional support with meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegetarian formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied in vegetable capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 vegetable capsules\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServings per container:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake \u003cstrong\u003e1–2 capsules at the beginning of a meal\u003c\/strong\u003e.
