DigestStart Betaine HCl and Pepsin support optimal stomach acidity and support overall nutrient absorption.
Symptoms of indigestion are often mistaken for excessive acid. The true culprit is likely to be insufficient levels of stomach acid [hydrochloric acid (HCl)]. The resulting reduction in stomach acidity can impair protein digestion and mineral absorption over time, as well as alter gut flora.
Maintaining adequate HCl levels is fundamental to healthy protein digestion, nutrient availability, and the maintenance of beneficial gastric flora.
Pepsin is activated by low stomach pH to begin digesting proteins in the early stages of digestion. If this step is compromised, problems may occur throughout the rest of the GI tract.
Gastric juices must be acidic for the enzyme to function. Betaine HCl supports that activity, and pepsin jumpstarts the process.
When comparing "pepsin" doses. The lower the number, the more potent. In this case, a 1:3000 is MORE potent than a 1:10,000, etc. You will find our pepsin to be more potent and more plentiful than similar formulas on the market, which may account for the price difference.
Betaine & Pepsin supports normal digestion, absorption, and optimal immune health*. In addition, maintaining an acidic pH in the stomach helps support normal gastric and intestinal flora.
Pepsin is among the first enzymes to initiate protein digestion and works in synergy with HCl to provide comprehensive protein digestion support.
Stomach acidity is the most important step in digestion. It sets the stage for optimal function throughout the entire digestive tract.
