Betaine HCl Pepsin -
Betaine HCl and pepsin are gastric-juice components essential to the digestion of food and absorption of most nutrients. In particular, betaine HCl is necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron. The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid destroys ingested bacteria and microorganisms. This formula can be beneficial for anyone seeking enhanced digestive function.
Betaine HCl Pepsin provides optimal nutritional support for a well-functioning digestive system.
What Is It?
Betaine HCl and pepsin are naturally occurring
gatric-juice components that render nutrients available for
absorption and biological acitivity. Specifically, betaine
HCl is an acidic form of betaine, which promotes optimal
gastric lumen acidity and pepsin is a protein-digesting
enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of peptide bonds.*
Uses For Betaine HCl Pepsin
Healthy Digestive Function: Betaine HCl and pepsin
promote the solubilization of food particles and the
healthy absorption and utilization of nutrients, including
protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and iron. Contact with
gastric juices causes protein and polysaccharide
degradation, allowing them to become more accessible
to the actions of the hydrolytic enzymes in the duodenum
and jejunum. Furthermore, HCl contributes to the naturally
acidic environment of the stomach necessary for healthy
microbial balance.*
