What is Betaine HCl?

When low acid is the cause of your occasional heartburn, the simple solution is to add more.* Betaine HCl is a compound that increases gastric acid levels so your stomach can digest your food properly.*

Our Betaine HCl formula includes pepsin, a protein-digesting enzyme that can provide relief for those with occasional heartburn, along with MucoSave, a combination of prickly pear and olive leaf extracts, to soothe the stomach lining.* MucoSave has been shown to exert positive effects on the stomach lining, providing a necessary buffer for the acidity of digestion.*

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin are critical to digestion and nutrient absorption. When we don’t have enough, we can experience gut-related issues like occasional heartburn. (This can happen for a variety of reasons, including age.) Betaine HCl uses HCl and pepsin already in your stomach to naturally raise the pH of stomach acid and soothe discomfort – and positively affect the gut microbiome.*

Betaine HCl is taken three times daily with meals.*
