Biocare's Betaine HCl & Pepsin is a high potency combination of betaine hydrochloride (HCl) and the protein-digesting pepsin enzyme. Hydrochloric acid is naturally found in the stomach and is essential for creating an acidic environment to enable protein digestion and activation of pepsin

Also provides a high amount of pepsin which is a potent protease enzyme naturally produced in the human body, essential for breaking down protein in food into smaller peptide fragments and amino acids

An acidic stomach environment is crucial for digestion, absorption of nutrients, immune protection, and enzyme activity. Different dietary and lifestyle factors including stress, as well as age, can reduce the body’s production of stomach acid.
