NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648 mg.- 120 Capsules
Take it in the Gut!
Feeling the pain of an unsettled stomach? The discomfort that comes with digestive problems or acid reflux? NOW Betaine HCI is here to help make you feel better by encouraging proper digestive conditions in your stomach. Betaine, also known as Trimethyl glycine, or TMG, is a naturally occurring amino-acid compound. It is a critical nutrient that has been shown to enhance function of your internal organs and help with digestive, heart, liver and detoxification functions. Hydrochloric Acid (HCI) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating Pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods when it is activated by HCI. And because HCI production tends to decline with age, supplementing with HCI may help you maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with results shown to be equivalent to that of animal-derived pain relievers – but in a Vegan formula.

HCI Fires Up Pepsin
Stomach, or gastric, acid is produced in the walls of your stomach to help dissolve food. HCI is one element of gastric acid – a very strong one. It represents just 5% of total stomach acid, but HCI is a key operator in digestion of proteins because it helps maintain an optimum pH level. If your body doesn’t produce enough HCI, protein digestion can become difficult, and causes stomach discomfort. When you eat a high-protein meal, for example, pH levels may drop, at which time HCI is able to create an acidic environment that allows pepsinogen (an inactive stomach enzyme) into an active enzyme called Pepsin, which is used to digest proteins.
Protect Yourself from Harmful Microorganisms
HCI plays another key role in your body, and that is to destroy microorganisms in particles of food you eat. It creates an acidic environment that helps prevent food poisoning and limits digestive problems associated with yeast, parasites, and viral and bacterial infections … naturally. So, taking NOW Foods Betaine HCI Formula can help you maintain enough HCI to fight off the tough stuff!
Absorb Vitamin B12 & Avoid Acid Reflux
HCI is known to assist in absorption of Vitamin B12, which is one of the most complex vitamins but is essential for protecting your immune system, nerves and red blood cells. Taking Betaine HCI as a supplement has also been shown to help you avoid acid reflux, which is caused by low stomach acid. In short, adding a supplement of Betaine HCI to your daily vitamin mix can help you eliminate the full range of gastric acid and stomach discomfort!
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule just before each meal.

Great supplement
Love that it’s a lozenge. Good taste so no arguments from the teenager taking them😊

Very rough
Well, health wise I’m assuming they do what they are supposed to do but calling them a ‘lozenge’ is a stretch. After the first one (directions say to let it dissolve, do not chew) my mouth got sore. Those things are ROUGH!!! I ended up dissolving them in boiling water (not an easy task) just to get them useable.
Needless to say, after a week or so I quit using. They need to be smoother and actually have the ability to dissolve.
